  2022-06-07

  

  The biological function of NPRA is demonstrated primarily through the ANP/BNP-dependent GC catalytic activity of the receptor and the production of cGMP, which is regulated by several factors, including hormones, growth factors, physiological milieu, and the ligand itself [26,34,[36], [37], [38], [3

  2022-06-07

  

  Introduction Activation of the lipid sensing receptor, GPR55, by lysophosphatidyl inositol (LPI) has been well documented, and implicated in endocannabinoid signaling [1]. Intracellular events resulting from GPR55 activation include; enhanced β-arrestin activity, calcium mobilization and ERK1/2 p

  2022-06-07

  

  3T3-L1 cells can be induced to differentiate into adipocytes by the appropriate hormonal treatment and they offer a useful in vitro model system for adipogenesis. GPR120 mRNA was detected in differentiated mature adipocytes but not in confluent preadipocytes (Fig. 3A). The level of GPR120 mRNA incre

  2022-06-07

  

  We hypothesized that modulating redox stress by altering endogenous antioxidant content (overexpression of catalase) and/or via dietary intervention will improve energy metabolism, adipose tissue function, and overall glucose and lipid homeostasis. To better understand the interplay between redox re

  2022-06-06

  

  Glycine regulates several brain functions and glycine transporters significantly contribute in such processes. In previous work we reported calpain sensitive regions in N-terminal domains of GlyT1a and GlyT1b (Baliova and Jursky, 2005). Here we show that distal part of glycine transporter GlyT1C-ter

  2022-06-06

  

  We were able to obtain several crystalline forms of CHAV Gth. The first one corresponded to the post-fusion conformation [14]. The comparison of this structure with that of VSV-Gth post-fusion conformation revealed that the PHD is the most divergent domain, with the largest differences confined to t

  2022-06-06

  

  The post-translational modification O-GlcNAcylation is also dependent upon glucose fluctuations. O-GlcNAcylation has been linked to insulin resistance and glucose toxicity in diabetes and its comorbidities [11]. O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic modification tightly regulated by the nutritional sensor UD

  2022-06-06

  

  Whether or not SMO and SMO-dependent HH signaling play a role in hematopoiesis is a subject of strong controversy. Obviously, the effects of SMO deletion are highly contextual and dependent on the timing of deletion. transplanted murine Smo−/− fetal liver Nystatin into sublethally irradiated mice an

  2022-06-06

  

  The identification of distinct expression domains in the limb suggested that these domains might have specific biological functions. We explored this possibility by determining enriched biological processes for each category using GO ontology term analysis (WebGestalt) (Zhang et al., 2005). Category

  2022-06-06

  

  To obviate the mitogenic FGF19 activity, several engineered FGF19 variants have been generated aiming to maintain the metabolic activity excluding the protumorigenic ones. One variant, M70, that differs from wild-type FGF19 by 5-amino acids deletion at the N-terminus and the substitution of 3-amino

  Recent studies have elucidated a profound role for FFA4 in modulation of metabolism and energy utilization as well as endocrine and immune function, and as a consequence, have thrust FFA4 to the forefront of drug discovery efforts. For example, activation of FFA4 by fatty protease inhibitors hiv or

  Introduction High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a nuclear protein that plays a fundamental role in the regulation of DNA-associated events such as DNA repair, transcription, and replication. HMGB1 can be translocated to the cytosol, plasma membrane, and extracellular space in response to various

  Introduction Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase; EC 3.1.3.11) catalyses the irreversible reaction of hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate [1]. Genetic and kinetic studies so far have demonstrated that at least two distinct isoenzymes of FBPase e

  ATN-161 (Ac-PHSCN-NH2) is a small peptide antagonist of integrin α5β1, a recently developed anticancer drug that interacts with the N-terminus of the β1 region of integrin α5β1 to lock integrin α5β1 in its non-activated conformation (Wang et al., 2016). The drug has been tested in Phase 2 clinical t

  While histone modifications can alter inter-nucleosomal interactions that govern the compaction state of a chromatin fiber (Francis et al., 2004, Kalashnikova et al., 2013, Lu et al., 2008), the potential impact of histone modifications on higher-order chromosome organization beyond chromatin-fiber
