  2020-01-06

  

  Introduction The COMT gene is located on chromosomal band 22q11.2, extends over 28 kb, contains six exons, and encodes for catechol-O-methyl-transferase (Weinshilboum and Raymond, 1977; Grossman et al., 1992; Lundström et al., 1995; Bearden et al., 2005). This enzyme plays a major role in regulatio

  Although the analysis described above goes far to explain the mechanism of atm kinase inhibitor perturbations through CHK1 inhibition, it raises important questions about the mechanism by which WT RAS isoforms promote CHK1 S280 phosphorylation. Previous reports have shown that both the MAPK-RSK and

  2020-01-06

  

  At one time, the biological effects of cAMP were thought to be mediated exclusively by Protein Kinase A (PKA). Consistent with this, PKA inhibitors have been shown to reverse the effects of cAMP-elevating agents on VSMC proliferation [5]. However, we recently reported that cAMP-mediated inhibition o

  2020-01-06

  

  Our study revealed elevated basal Akt phosphorylation in diet-induced obesity, the effect of which was reversed by ETAKO. Activation of Akt promotes cardiac hypertrophy via a number of cellular mechanisms including activation of its downstream targets such as mTOR and GSK3β [45, 46]. Short-term acti

  Introduction The Discoidin Domain Receptors (DDRs), comprising DDR1 and DDR2, are collagen-binding receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that function as microenvironmental sensors at the interface of the extracellular matrix and the intracellular signal transduction machinery [1]. In response to ligand

  2020-01-03

  

  Mulan is a mitochondrial protein and is exclusively localized in the OMM with its RING domain facing the cytosol [14]. Based on this topology, Mulan can provide a link between molecular events in the mitochondria and cytoplasm. Mulan has been implicated in various processes including: mitochondrial

  2020-01-03

  

  Ubiquitin-activating enzyme activates ubiquitin by a three-step process with ATP as a cofactor (Chen et al., 2011, Haas and Rose, 1982, Haas et al., 1982). We demonstrated that ATP is required for mRFP-Ub–E1 formation under non-reducing conditions (Fig. 2A). A time course of radioactive ATP producti

  Cyclin D1 inhibits the transcriptional activity of the transcription factors myogenin and MEF2 [39,40]. In addition, myogenin activates MEF2 expression, which feeds back to amplify the myogenin promoter [38]. In this study, DGKδ suppression, in addition to the increase of cyclin D1, inhibited myogen

  CXCL16 mediated cell migration is facilitated by the interaction of soluble CXCL16 with CXCR6, expressed predominantly on the cell surface of CD4+ Th1 cells, cancer infiltrating lymphocytes and platelets (Borst et al., 2012, Kim et al., 2001, Liao et al., 1997, Wilbanks et al., 2001). CXCR6 is invol

  As expected, the 19-nortestosterone-derived progestins tested were moderate agonists of hAR (C), with EC50s ranging from 2 to 10nM, however all were less potent than the endogenous ligand DHT by at least a factor of 6, with relative potencies ranging from 0.0301 to 0.164. This is in agreement with p

  In humans, the ERα is encoded by the gene ESR1, located on chromosome 6, locus 6q25.1 (Gosden, Middleton, & Rout, 1986). In addition to the full-length ERα isoform (66kDa), several shorter isoforms (36kDa, 46kDa) have been identified as a result of the presence of alternate start codons, or as produ

  OxLDL down-regulates eNOS and up-regulates iNOS, thereby augmenting the formation of NO and protein S-nitrosylation in human endothelial L-Kynurenine [26]. Importantly, iNOS-mediated S-nitrosylation plays an increasingly significant role in cardiovascular diseases [34]. For example, iNOS-mediated I
