  2024-06-19

  

  Plant defensins are cysteine-rich cationic peptides of 5–8 kDa whose mature domain comprises 45 to 54 amino nadph oxidase residues, with an isoelectric point around 9. The global fold of plant defensins consists of a cysteine-stabilized motif (CSα/β) made up of an α-helix and a triple-stranded β-she

  Although our sample size is not enough to conclude that there is no great genetic variation of the AR gene in most New World monkeys, it would be reasonable to state that the microsatellite region in the exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene of New World monkeys (platyrrhine) is relatively shorter th

  2024-06-19

  

  AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is composed of α-, β-, and γ-subunits [17,18]. Phosphorylation of α-subunit at Thr-172 residue is essential for AMPK activation [17,18]. The serine/threonine kinase coordinates metabolic pathways in response to energy supply and demand [17,18]. Studies have shown

  2024-06-19

  

  Further validation for a role in 12/15-LOX pathway in mediating adipocyte function comes from studies revealing a regulatory role of lipocalin-2 on 12/15-LOX activity. Lipocalin-2, a glycoprotein member of the lipocalin superfamily, is a novel abundant adipokine implicated in obesity-mediated inflam

  2024-06-19

  

  Introduction Adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) is a general-purpose signaling molecule present in most branches of life. Intracellular cAMP levels control diverse cellular functions. In bacteria, cAMP regulates metabolism by activation of the catabolite activator protein (CAP), also known as cAM

  2024-06-19

  

  Furthermore, we found up-regulated protein and mRNA levels of adenosine kinase in mouse retina with TON. The up-regulation of ADK was previously demonstrated in diabetic retinopathy (Pang et al., 2010). Greater levels of ADK in activated macrophages and microglial cells abrogate the immune response.

  We have expressed the ECDs of the human α1, β1, γ and ɛ AChR subunits in the past using the methylotropic yeast Pichia pastoris as soluble glycosylated proteins [15], [16]. Further work with the γ subunit ECD revealed a marked improvement of the solubility and yield following the mutation of hydroph

  2024-06-19

  

  The first suggestions that the cleaved intracellular domain of APP, AICD, might transit to the nucleus and hence selectively regulate gene transcription arose from analogies with the Notch receptor signalling system where similar intra-membrane proteolysis occurs [84], [85] and it was later confirme

  2024-06-19

  

  Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and expression level can be down regulated by TCDD in neuronal cells [3], [6]. Thus AChE could be considered as a target of the neuronal toxicity of dioxin. AChE has several types of transcripts by alternative splicing in the 3′ region of primary transcripts [7],

  2024-06-19

  

  Another open question is whether GABA and ACh are released from the same synaptic vesicles, or even the same presynaptic terminals. Multi-transmitter neurons may either function through co-release, in which multiple neurotransmitters are packaged into the same presynaptic terminal and are therefore

  Several studies have recently used optogenetics to selectively activate various cholinergic neurons (Jiang et al., 2014). However, most do not explicitly report direct release of GABA from cholinergic fibers, with the exception of our two studies described above (Saunders et al., 2015a, Saunders et

  Our data indicate that the D1 domain only needs to hydrolyze ATP a few times, or perhaps even just once, during the processing of a given substrate molecule, whereas the D2 domain hydrolyzes ATP many times. Consistent with this model, only D2 contains the canonical aromatic pore loop residues implic

  2024-06-18

  

  Enhanced arginase activity and the resultant decreases in L-arginine levels can also impair T cell mediated immune function and allow tumor growth by limiting the supply of L-arginine needed for the formation of cytotoxic levels of NO by iNOS [10]. Increased arginase expression/activity may also lim

  The leaves of Bambusa nutans, B. vulgaris, B. textilis McClure, B. vulgaris var. vittata, and Dendrocalamus oldhami are reported as promising natural alternatives to synthetic antioxidants as functional food ingredients (Tripathi et al., 2015).
