It would be very useful if unphosphorylated CK1s could be prepared using an E. coli expression system without the troublesome in vitro phosphatase treatment. So far, it has been shown that coexpressed λPPase, a Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatase that can dephosphorylate phospho-Ser/Thr/Tyr [20,21],

Mammalian DGKs: current knowledge Despite our understanding of prokaryotic DGKs, our limited understanding of the structure of mammalian DGKs is a major gap in our knowledge. Importantly, major differences exist between prokaryotic and mammalian enzymes often revealing the fact that structural fe

2019-12-13
Over the past decade, targeting DNA repair proteins has emerged as an effective tool to enhance chemosensitivity of malignant cells [9]. However, identification and selection of the proper target of DNA repair pathways is critical to increase cytotoxic activity of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer c

Autophagy is a dynamic process that primarily involves autophagosome formatting and lysosomal degradation, and these processes are controlled by autophagy-related genes (Atg) (Klionsky et al., 2012). The related protein SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) importantly serves as a signalling director in sever

The central role of DNA-PK in the NHEJ NHEJ can be divided in several steps (Fig. 1A): 1) recognition and binding of Ku at each ends of the DSB following by the assembly of the DNA-PK at the break points and bridging; 2) phosphorylation of the DNA ends by DNA-PKcs; 3) ligation of the ends by DNA

The sixth affected individual (individual 6) is a 35-year-old female who presented with a complex combination of congenital and acquired symptoms. She was born to healthy, unrelated parents with an unremarkable family history, apart from the presence of polycystic kidney disease in her father and pa

We also determined the uracil content of CJ236 DNA by thin-layer chromatography of in vivo32P- or [6-3H]uracil-labeled CJ236 2′-deoxyribose 5′-monophosphates as well as by LC/MS of deoxyuridine and thymidine 2′-deoxynucleosides (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3). Examination of the 32P data showed that, ba

It is now widely known that blockade of CysLT1 receptors strongly inhibits antigen-induced bronchial contractions in specimens isolated from non-asthma subjects. However, this blockade is not complete as shown in the present study and in other literature.4, 15, 16 The results of the current study su

Apart from neutrophil-mediated inflammation, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from PGD2/CRTH2 activated macrophages could further aggravate LPS-induced lung injury (Eguchi et al., 2011; Jandl et al., 2016). Interestingly, genetic ablation of CRTH2 diminishes the TNF-α prod

Other karyopherins besides CRM1 must bind to FG-Nups in a similar fashion. However, at an atomic resolution, only the interaction of importin β with isolated FG motifs has been analyzed (Bayliss et al., 2000, Bayliss et al., 2002, Liu and Stewart, 2005). Despite similarities in the FG-binding pocket

Proteolysis by CPs is crucially important for cereal seed development and germination. However, these enzymes must be tightly controlled. Pre-harvest sprouting is a phenomenon in which the control of CPs is disrupted. This disruption manifests in the premature synthesis and activation of CPs, leadin

Similar to Bdnf4, acute administration of RG108 did not alter gene expression of Gria1 and Hdac2, despite their relevance for the task. Gria1 belongs to the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic 2871 receptor (AMPAR) family that is known to be crucial for LTP and the strengthening of synap

In conclusion, the results obtained in this study and those recently reported by our group (Abdel-Samad et al., 2012) clearly indicate that a dialogue indeed exists between the systems of NPY and ET-1 at the level of human endocardial endothelial cells, since these cells, whether isolated from the r
