DGAT-protein interactions Although DGAT1 and DGAT2 are membrane proteins of the ER, the ER contains within its extensive three-dimensional network different, unique structural and functional protein domains that arise from the non-uniformity imposed on it by the intracellular structures it intera

It has been shown that DAPK induces cell death through an increase in DAPK catalytic activity and subsequent phosphorylation of target proteins (Shang et al., 2005, Yamamoto et al., 2002), but its multidomain structure enables also a close physical interaction with other proteins (Bialik and Kimchi,

2021-02-27
Introduction Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of proline-directed serine/threonine kinases with roles in regulation of crucial cellular processes such as 1,3-PBIT dihydrobromide and transcription [1]. One of the unifying features of this family is its dependence on association with cyc

Redundancy of tumor promoting signaling pathways
2021-02-27
Redundancy of tumor promoting signaling pathways is one of the mechanisms that prevent a lasting effect of targeted therapies, as has been demonstrated by the growing number of alternative pathways that confer resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies [3]. We show here that CSF-1R can, at least partiall

The physiological role of the UCNs in the regulation of the HPA axis is still under debate (Fekete and Zorrilla, 2007, Suda et al., 2004). UCN 1 was proved to increase the plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels in rats (Bagosi et al., 2014, Vaughan et al., 1995), whereas UCN 2 and UCN 3 were shown to

2021-02-27
DNA methylation is a relatively stable but reversible epigenetic mechanism that can regulate gene expression, and occurs at the three different cytosine sequence contexts (CG, CHG, and CHH, where H is C, A, or T) in plants [15]. Many studies suggest that DNA methylation status of genes influence pla

Limitations of the current study, in addition to the ones highlighted above, are its retrospective nature, the potential biased selection of patients requiring bronchoscopy for the etiological diagnosis of pneumonia, the lack of normalization of CMV DNA loads in BAL fluids to cellular DNA content (a

A more refined picture of cholinesterase activity patterns may be obtained by measuring ChE activity of the same sample before and after addition of certain cholinesterase inhibitors, with differential specificity for different components of total ChE activity, such as BW284c51 (BW1,5-bis-(4-allyldi

Introduction Neuropathic pain occurs in approximately one-third of patients with diabetes and is refractory to currently available analgesic drugs (Abbott et al., 2011). This painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is associated with elevated levels of methylglyoxal (MG; a reactive glucose metabolite) an

We further assessed EBI2 expression in RRMS patients before and during NTZ treatment. A significant increase of EBI2 expression was observed in memory CD4+ T cell subpopulations, but not in CD8+ T cell or in CD19+ B cell subsets of patients undergoing NTZ treatment, with a parallel gain in the migra

Introduction Determining how genes function together as biological systems is a defining challenge of the genomic era. While genome sequences reveal the DNA blueprint of organisms, deciphering how this blueprint leads to biological function is challenging due in large part to the complexity of prot

The other scenario pertaining to the significance of H2AX phosphorylation is based on the fact that the initiation of DNA fragmentation by CAD facilitates the chromatin condensation that occurs concurrently [15]. Apoptotic DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation are important for the efficient

Results and discussion To check the 4 mu that the charge of α-synuclein can be altered due to the glycation, we measured zeta potential of native α-synuclein and α-synuclein glycated by two different glycating agents, methylglyoxal (MG) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GA-3-P). The value for nativ
