  Ultimately, we decided to investigate the role of Cyp3a in obesity because Hepatic P450 Reductase-null (HRN) mice with no P450 activity show hepatic steatosis with increased Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11 expression, perturbations in liver size, lipid homeostasis, and increased liver polyunsaturated fatty acid

  2020-03-16

  

  ATP-dependent DNA ligases in vertebrates are divided in three families [7]. Family I DNA ligases are responsible for sealing the nicks during DNA replication and in long-patch base excision repair (BER). Family III DNA ligases are involved in short-patch BER. Lastly, family IV DNA ligases are involv

  Material and methods Results Discussion Ligase IV is essential for the final ligation of DSBs through the NHEJ pathway. Its co-factor, XRCC4, has been shown to be important for increasing its activity and stability. Interaction between these two factors have been mapped to the linker region

  Regulation of DGK activity Activation of the DGKs is complex and unique for each DGK isotype. In most cases, DGKs must translocate to a membrane compartment to access DAG. However, translocation does not necessarily activate the enzyme [57]. In addition, DGK activity can be modified by other cofa

  Related with the studies by Zizza et al. described above [66], work by Ward et al. [68] suggested that the C2 domain of cPLA2α, which binds to zwitterionic membranes with high affinity in a Ca2+-dependent manner, has a high membrane remodeling activity, producing dramatic changes in membrane curvatu

  2020-03-16

  

  In addition to vasoconstrictor actions (acute effects), ET-1 exerts potent mitogenic actions on vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac myocytes (chronic effects), hence causing vascular and cardiac hypertrophy [19,24,25]. These effects are mediated via stimulation of either ETA or ETB receptors, a

  In a recent study, Tomkins et al. [7] analyzed the protein-protein interaction network of ROCO proteins. Based on a database analysis, and only taking into account interactions reported in at least two peer-reviewed papers and/or confirmed by two different methods, 113 interactors were revealed for

  2020-03-16

  

  Fermentation process for growth of E. coli BL2(DE3)/pBMS–P3Hcys was carried out in 25- and 380-L fermentors containing 15- and 250-L medium, respectively. Cell yield of about 100g/L (wet cells) was achieved by feeding glycerol and Hy-yest during fermentation. Typical fermentation parameters are show

  Does hydroxylation of proline have a specific role in the structure and function of the conotoxins? Several studies in the literature provide insights into the role of proline hydroxylation in the Conus peptides. The consequences of proline hydroxylation on oxidative folding and biological activity

  2020-03-16

  

  Endothelins (ETs) are peptides expressed in both the peripheral and the central nervous systems, which can contribute to sensory changes seen in animal models of inflammatory, cancer and neuropathic pain [10], [11]. All three mammalian isoforms (ET-1, ET-2 and ET-3) activate specific G protein-coupl

  EphB4 appears to be a low-affinity receptor for rhEpo based on the biochemical data. The concentration of rhEpo used for the biological experiments (50 IU/ml) corresponds to 10–15 nM, which is 1% to 2% of the KD value (KD = 881 nM) for the binding of rhEpo to EphB4, as measured in the MST assay. The

  Since 1-OH-PGE2 is a moderately selective EP4 agonist which could bind to mouse EP3 and EP4 with a relatively similar affinity (Kiriyama et al., 1997), we have used a highly selective EP4 agonist CAY10580 to evaluate the involvement of EP4 activation in PGE2-facilitated EP4 internalization and recyc

  [125I] α-bungarotoxin competes with ACh, an endogenous activator of α7-nACh receptors by binding to the ACh binding site on the receptor (Albuquerque et al., 2009). For this reason, the effect of curcumin was investigated on the specific binding of [125I] α-bungarotoxin. Saturation curves for the bi

  The component E1 of PDHc (PDHc-E1) catalyzes the first step of multistep processes, using thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) and Mg2+ as cofactors.15, 16 Especially, this PDHc-E1 catalyzed process is a rate limiting step among multistep processes. Accordingly, the PDHc should be inactive by inhibiting the
