  For the current studies, we used the selective Epac agonist 8CPT-AM to directly activate the proteins. We chose this pharmacological approach since it allows a direct activation of Epacs rather than using receptor agonists such as PGE2 which could introduce confounding variables. One potential conce

  2019-09-23

  

  Enolase, as a plasminogen receptor and activator localized on the surface of several helminths, can interact with the host fibrinolytic system (Yang et al., 2010, Du et al., 2009, de la Torre-Escudero et al., 2010). The enzyme is also one of excretory/secretory (ES) products in some helminths, such

  A brief history of RBR E3s RBR E3s were originally defined based on sequence alignments that predicted a tripartite motif of three zinc (Zn)-binding domains: two RING domains (RING1 and RING2) connected via an in-between-RING (IBR) domain [28], [29]. The prediction together with initial observati

  To investigate the role of DPP-4 inhibition in inflammation-induced bone resorption, we evaluated the effect of a DPP-4 inhibitor on LPS-induced osteoclast formation and bone-resorption in vivo. Our results showed that the DPP-4 inhibitor inhibited LPS-induced osteoclast formation and bone resorptio

  Dgat−/− mice, however, had less adipose tissue, as reflected by lower total fat pad weights and body triglyceride content. Because of these findings, we hypothesized that, although Dgat−/− mice could make triglycerides through non-DGAT pathway(s), their triglyceride synthesis capacity might not be e

  To overcome problems with the biochemical reconstitution of these heterodimeric cytokines fusion strategies linking both subunits together have been proposed inspired by the “hyper-IL-6” [28]. Much like fusing a protein to a solubility enhancing protein such as MBP or SUMO, fusing two subunits of a

  Ligand binding (RTK activation) induces the endocytic internalization of RTKs, and this has been demonstrated for CSF-1R [15], [16], [17]. Endocytosed RTKs are targeted to the lysosome, which we and others have established to be dependent on ubiquitination via CBL-family and recognition by ESCRT com

  Our structures also provide new insights into CRTH2 drug development. The ligand binding pocket revealed by our structures comprises many aromatic residues and a few polar residues at the distal end. Correspondingly, most CRTH2 antagonists share a similar structural feature characterized by an aceta

  This work started from the standard version of the CPA model [17] and investigated its known weaknesses: 1) not meeting the defined critical temperature, 2) missing the temperature dependence of pure component saturated liquid densities, 3) using an α function in the cubic term that can provide unre

  Within the cluster of North African populations the Sousse population sample is somewhat different from the other six populations. One has to analyze more in depth the reasons of this isolation that has been shown by other genetic studies (Fadhlaoui-Zid et al., 2015). It seems that the particular ge

  2019-09-23

  

  Renal injury by cisplatin has been associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis (Francescato et al., 2007, Iseri et al., 2007, Kiymaz et al., 2008, Ueki et al., 2012). Specifically, apoptosis is an important mode of cell death in cisplatin nephrotoxicity, and many studies including

  During mouse embryogenesis, RLIM protein is detectable throughout preimplantation development, consistent with its functions in iXCI maintenance. However, in contrast to differentiating ESCs in culture (Figure 2A), RLIM protein levels are downregulated in nuclei of epiblast cells of implanting embry

  PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is known in modulating cell apoptotic process (Saurus et al., 2015). To study the contribution of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in ERRγ-mediated anti-apoptotic effect in podocytes, we examined phosphorylation of Akt and expression of PI3K subunits p110α and p85α via qRT-PCR a

  An Ubl modification requires several steps that are catalyzed by three enzymes, referred to as E1 (activating enzyme), E2 (conjugation enzyme), and E3 (ligase). The SUMO E1 is a heterodimer of SAE1 and Uba2 (also known as SAE2). In brief, an Ubl is first activated by E1 through ATP hydrolysis and fo
