  Studies also provide evidence that cytokines such as TGF-β, a TH3-type cytokine, may also play a role in airway remodeling. Data obtained by Cohen et al suggest that TGF-β1 can induce human BSMC proliferation by increasing the expression of IGFBP-3. Hence, the mitogenic action of TGF-β1 could be rel

  DGKδ deficiency caused a significant increase in the SERT protein level, but its mRNA level was not affected (Fig. 1). These results suggest that SERT protein stability is directly reduced by interaction with the DGKδ protein. In contrast, DGKδ deficiency regulated both TPH-2 and MAO-A protein and m

  Allosteric inhibitors In general, candidate drugs that bind to a GPCR at a site that is distinct (allosteric site) from the binding site of the endogenous agonist (orthosteric site) are attracting increasing attention 39, 42, 58. Allosteric modulators display saturability of their effect, probe d

  Introduction Oral contraceptives (OCs) are the most commonly used medication for contraception all over the world and are also used in the treatment of menstrual disturbances and hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome [1]. The impact of OC steroids on cardiovascular pathophysiol

  Experimental Procedures Acknowledgments Bisphenol A (BPA) has been recognized as one of the most potent endocrine disruptors, functioning even at very low doses. Although it is anticipated that (R,S)-Anatabine receptor (ER) would mediate these effects of low-dose BPA, studies revealed that B

  There are five phosphorylated serines in β-casein. However, only phosphorylated Ser35 was identified in the samples hydrolysed with GE at 37 and 50 °C, i.e., f32-42 and f32-44 of β-casein. The identification indicates that phosphorylated peptides were less detectable from the non-phosphorylated pept

  Material and methods Results Discussion The results show for the first time that DDRs may be involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. We found that DDR1 and DDR2 levels are up-regulated in post-mortem AD and PD brains, suggesting that these receptors play a role

  Genes involved in oxysterol metabolism The main enzymes that participate in the metabolism of oxysterols generally belong into one of two groups: transferases or oxidoreductases [22]. The following chapter describes those genes of oxysterol metabolism whose polymorphisms have been associated with

  COH000 inhibited global SUMOylation in Cy5.5 NHS ester synthesis and blocked the E1 catalyzed attachment of SUMO to the corresponding conjugating enzyme Ubc9, but not the attachment of ubiquitin or NEDD8 to their respective E2s, confirming inhibition and specificity in cellulo. Consistent with prev

  Structure similarity searches were conducted using the standalone version of the DALI program with the query structures scanned against a local current version of the PDB that has all chains as separate entries (Holm and Sander, 1995). The structural hits for each query were collected, even if the D

  FOX proteins constitute a large class of transcription factors with multiple functions, from development and organogenesis to regulation of metabolic and immune functions. The Fox transcription factor is characterized by a 100-amino-acid wing helix or forkhead DNA-binding domain. In addition, the FO

  Regulation of p53 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway Studies into regulation of p53 via PTM processes that involve phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, neddylation, and methylation are being increasingly reported [23], [24]. Phosphorylation and acetylation of p53 stimulate

  The modification of proteins with the small 76-amino Triclosan protein ubiquitin (Ub) plays a central role in many key cellular processes. Ubiquitylation of a target protein requires the concerted action of a cascade of three enzymes (Figure 1). The ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) catalyzes the for

  Our data indicate that the ability of these promiscuous kinases to bind chemically diverse inhibitors is defined by the hydrophobic pocket formed by the activation loop, which is only accessible in the DFG-Asp-out conformation. Inhibitors do not artificially induce the DFG-Asp-out conformation as wa
