2021-11-01

The translation of our rat findings to bovine and human lenses revealed that the expression of glucose transporters was more straightforward in bovine and human than in the rat lens, since only GLUT1 was detected in these lenses. Using the C-terminal GLUT1 antibody, we observed bands for GLUT1 in al

Given the proposed importance of conformational dynamics to GCK's allosteric regulation, a number of biophysical methods have been utilized to probe the enzyme's dynamic structural landscape. Investigations into the mechanism of Oligomycin Complex binding, using changes in the enzyme's intrinsic flu

Patients with SCI often develop chronic neuropathic pain, which further deteriorates their quality of life [5]. This condition results from functional and structural plastic changes that occur centrally following injury to spinal cord neurons and glia, and include changes in receptor function and si

It is important to mention that the IC50 of cetirizine needed to achieve histamine H2 receptor desensitization was 0.43 µM or 170 ng/ml (Fig. 1B), becoming clinically relevant since pharmacokinetic studies after oral administration of the clinically used dose (10 mg/day) reported a maximal plasma co

Finally, we find that in the absence of Aurora B, Sgo1 is delocalized from centromeres and found along chromosome arms, as reported after depletion of Bub1 (Kitajima et al., 2005, Riedel et al., 2006). The increased arm cohesion observed in the absence of Aurora B activity is dependent on the presen

2021-10-29

Recently, a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR109a, was identified as a molecular target for niacin. Mechanistic studies have suggested that the benefits of niacin therapy may result from the activation of GPR109a located on adipocytes. Recent experiments have shown that niacin activation of GPR109a re

The mD1.2 gene obtained from Dr. Dimiter S. Dimitrov was inserted into a pComb3X vector. The transcription and translation of pComb3X plasmid in cells is inhibited by rifampicin, which binds to bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. However, in the strain BL21 (DE3) expression system, there is ove

In addition, analysis of the functional elements in the GnRH promoter region also identified other transcription factor binding sites, such as those for GATA-1 and Oct-1. However, those sites were not further validated in this study. Nevertheless, it has been reported that transcription factors such

We recently reported the first cyclopropene-analog of the amino tachykinin neurotransmitter glutamate (Fig. 2A) [27]. This first-generation cyclopropene-glutamate expanded the only other documented report of a cyclopropene-neurotransmitter (cyclopropene-GABA analog by Reissig and coworkers) [28]. W

Structures of human γ-secretase Before the near-atomic resolution structures, the highest resolutions achieved for γ-secretase were 15 and 12Å [19, 21]. The 15-Å structure revealed a Anisomycin chamber in the transmembrane domain and two pores at the top and bottom of γ-secretase, which were spe

In the last years, a plethora of studies overstepped the classic concept of the ENS as purely modulator of GI secretion and motility, focusing on its potential as source of substances acting on immune cells and consequently involved in the control of local inflammatory events, as in the Inflammatory

In the 2003, a first in vitro indication of modulation of FXR expression in CRC showed that FXR expression was absent in undifferentiated colon carcinoma cell line SW480, while it was progressively increasing along with the degree of cell differentiation in Caco2 and HT29 cells, and its transcriptio

FPR1 activation stimulates multiple signal transduction pathways responsible for various neutrophil functions, such as adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, Glyoxalase I inhibitor synthesis of secretory granules, and superoxide anion radical (O2) production, which contribute to the physiological infl
