A number of factors have been shown to remove blocking end groups in order to make the termini of DSBs ligatable. A common non-ligatable end is one that contains either a 3′ phosphate or 5′ hydroxyl. The polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (PNKP) is the NHEJ processing enzyme responsible for removing

Iris domestica (L.) Goldblatt & Mabb. (syn. Belamcanda chinensis L.) DC. (Iridaceae) occurs naturally in South and East Asia. Despite the fact that former monotypic genus Belamcanda has been included in the extended genus Iris, this classification has been questioned (Wilson, 2011; Mavrodiev et al.,

In agreement with the evidence on the Plg-binding function of tapeworm enolases, eukaryotic enolases have been shown to be multifunctional proteins, with other activities besides their role as glycolytic enzymes (Pancholi, 2001). In this respect, several flatworms have been proved to express enolase

Placental insufficiency is regarded as the main etiology for FGR. Placental development is highly unique in eutherians and is regulated by numerous factors. For example, the novel retrotransposon-derived gene retrotransposon-like 1 (RTL1) was recently shown to play a key role in placental developmen

Materials and methods Results To investigate the effect of 17βE on cell proliferation in the human renal tubular epithelia, BrdU uptake was measured in HRTEC primary and 3D-HRTEC cultures, allowing determination of the DNA replication rate. Representative microphotographs show BrdU uptake in H

2020-09-10
Astrocytes play a key role in the brain, as these cells are involved in fluid, ion, pH, and neurotransmitter homeostasis, synapse function, energy and metabolism and blood-brain barrier (BBB) maintenance (Sofroniew and Vinters, 2010). PA is able to activate different damaging responses in astrocytes

Amphiphilic compounds lower interfacial tension and its biological production often results in a competitive environmental advantage (Darvishi et al., 2011). The reduction of interfacial tension can increase the biologically available surface areas resulting in increased metabolism of insoluble comp

RING dimerization RING-type domains are found in many different structural contexts. While many exist as single-chain Icotinib receptor (Fig. 3A), a notable feature of RING-type E3s is their tendency to form homodimers and heterodimers (Fig. 3C–F). Homodimeric RING-type E3s include cIAP, RNF4, B

More recently, Boskovic et al. (2003) have visually corroborated that purified DNA-PKcs can bind short DNA fragments by using single particle EM. DNA biotinylated at the 5′ end was labelled by coupling to commercial streptavidin–gold particles (Fig. 4D). When analysed in the microscope, DNA-PKcs mol

ABH3 expression is elevated in prostate carcinomas and has been referred to as prostate cancer antigen-1 or PCA-1. ABH3/PCA-1 was proposed as a diagnostic marker for prostate cancers, and suggested as a possible therapeutic target [82]. However, the recent studies of ABH2 and ABH3-null mice indicate

In summary, these results are consistent with our hypothesis that chemical nitrosation of BMAA to N-BMAA results in the formation of an alkylating agent. Furthermore, we have shown that N-BMAA is more toxic than BMAA itself. Previously, methylazoxymethanol (MAM), which is also present in the cycad n

LPA is known to regulate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton [58]. However, the physiological functions of LPA in cells are still poorly understood. The simultaneous production of PA with/without 1-LPA or 2-LPA may be important to maximize a

Methylated CpGs can recruit transcriptional co-repressors to prevent transcription factors (TFs) from promoting gene expression by tightly packing OSMI-1 structures [38]. Two CpG islands in the IPT5b promoter region showed higher methylation level in M9 rootstock compared to Mr (Fig. 3b). However,
