  2022-04-20

  

  Introduction Soluble guanylyl cyclase (GC-1) maintains vascular function through the NO/GC-1/cGMP pathway [1,2] by catalyzing the conversion of GTP into cGMP (Fig. 1). The GC-1 heme prosthetic group binds NO with picomolar affinity, resulting in a 100- to 200-fold increase in catalytic activity.

• Importantly each conformational state in the SRP SR dimer

  2022-04-20

  

  Importantly, each conformational state in the SRP–SR dimer provides a distinct point of regulation at which these GTPases can directly sense and respond to different biological cues in the pathway. For example, assembly of a stable ‘closed’ complex between SRP and SR is intrinsically very slow (kon

  We also examined possible involvement of the NF-κB signaling pathway in GSK-3 inhibitor-induced suppression of PGE2 production, whereas GSK-3 inhibitors did not have a significant effect on IκB phosphorylation/degradation or NF-κB nuclear translocation. These results are consistent with a previous p

  2022-04-20

  

  In plants, NO production is one of the early responses to stress (Tossi, Lamattina, & Cassia, 2009). Usually, NO signal transduction requires the involvement of downstream signaling compounds. We further investigated the effects of cGMP on GSK-3 expression. The data showed that LY83583 (a cGMP inhib

  2022-04-20

  

  It has been shown that GPR55 receptors coupled to G12/13 proteins down-regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and degranulation in human neutrophils [9]. MCs degranulation stimulated by IgE/Ag also requires the generation of ROS [64]; therefore, the possibility to explore the inhibitory a

  2022-04-20

  

  Continuing studies of endocannabinoid ligands at GPR55 reveal that virodhamine (O-arachidonylethanolamine) and AEA can act as a partial agonists at GPR55; at high micromolar concentrations can inhibit β-arrestin recruitment (Sharir et al., 2012). It is likely that there are allosteric as well as ort

  2022-04-20

  

  Recently, we suggested that KYNA – an endogenous GPR35 agonist could be produced in a human cornea since we showed the presence of the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of KYNA – kynurenine aminotransferases I-III in corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium (). Therefore, these findings provided

  There was a statistical significant correlation between CD39 expression on CD4+ T cells and CD38 and ZAP-70 (Table 3). Del 6q was detected in 19 patients (63.3%) with a range of 2–75% and a mean of 32.97 ± 14.85. As regards to the staging system, del 6q was significantly higher in high risk group o

  FPG-2 had no consistent activity in reducing G→T transversions. Gao and Murphy [2] earlier reported that FPG-2 had a limited amount of activity in vitro on depurinated, UV-treated, and methylene-blue-treated DNA (but not on 8-oxo-G-containing oligonucleotides). FPG-2 contains the N-terminal domain a

  2022-04-20

  

  Injury to oligodendrocyte progenitors caused in part by glutamate contributes to the pathogenesis of myelination disturbances in PVL [5]. In the immature human brain, the susceptibility of developing oligodendrocytes to hypoxia-ischemia correlates with their expression of glutamate receptors of the

  In agreement with the results obtained from GluR-A−/− mice, mice in which the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor has been selectively deleted from the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus displayed normal acquisition of the standard reference memory version of the watermaze task (Nakazawa et al., 2002), bu

  2022-04-20

  

  Yeast two-hybrid screening studies have provided the foundation for countless investigations of protein-protein interactions [[141], [142], [143]]. To identify additional hepatic proteins similar to GKRP that are implicated in GCK regulation, a group of researchers conducted a two-hybrid study using

  2022-04-19

  

  GHSR-1A's have high levels of constitutive activity and recent investigations show that constitutively active GHSR-1As in the absence of ligand (ghrelin) binding can have effects on feeding and energy balance (Mear et al., 2013, Petersen et al., 2009). Furthermore, GHSR-1As are capable of dimerizing

  When PKC19–31 was applied alone, it attenuated the activity run-down following excision. Furthermore, the activity induced by addition of PKC19–31 during PMA treatment in many cases was higher than in controls. Accordingly, in our experimental conditions, the mechanism which underlays channel inhibi

  The importance of T-currents in the control of thalamic GABA synaptic function is also demonstrated by the presence of T-channel-dependent long-term synaptic plasticity, either potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD). Indeed, in the associative posterior thalamic medial nucleus, an LTP of the GABAerg
