2020-05-29
Introduction Formate dehydrogenase enzymes (FDHs) are a group of heterogeneous proteins that catalyse the reversible formate () oxidation to carbon dioxide () (Eq. (1)). These enzymes are classified in two families, one gathering the enzymes that hold no redox-active centres and another that includ

Use of recombinant collagen to study DDR–collagen interactions Synthetic peptides have proven highly valuable in replicating the characteristics of collagen and in defining the sites on collagen essential for binding and studying protein–collagen interactions. There are, however, disadvantages to

It is well known that CysLTs exert potent contractile action on human bronchial smooth muscles through activation of CysLT1 receptors. Indeed, in vitro antigen-induced contraction of passively sensitized human bronchial tissue is markedly suppressed by a pre-treatment with CysLT1 receptor antagonist

CDK Inhibitors for the Treatment of inflammatory Diseases Several CDKs have been implicated as regulators of inflammatory gene expression. It will thus be very important to determine the relative contributions of the various CDKs and their kinase function on a systematic basis. This work will be

A number of immune-relevant genes have been studied to explore the immunologic mechanisms in large yellow croakers; however, the chemokine receptor CXCR family has never been studied in this organism. Chemokines are a large superfamily of chemotactic cytokines that are utilized to direct the traffic

2020-05-29
Previous studies on the chemokines role in depression are not detailed enough, and cannot sufficiently demonstrate even a hypothetical mechanism explaining the differences in levels of particular chemokines and their receptors, in relation to the severity of depression [29], [30]. Previous studies o

Results and discussion Compounds were tested for their binding affinity to human CRTH2 in a radioligand binding assay (3H-PGD2) using CHO cells stably transfected with human CRTH2. In addition, these compounds were assessed for their functional activity in PGD2 driven Ca2+ flux in KB8 cells expre

Materials and methods Results Discussion This study is the first to our knowledge that describes upstream cis-elements and transcription factors that are important for Crm1 expression and that drive its high expression in cancer and transformed cells. Using deletion and mutation analysis we

The use of inhibitors clearly has its caveats and the field should come to a consensus on etomoxir concentration to maximally block LC-FAO while minimalizing off-target effects. The current papers convincingly show that 200 μM is too high, but it should be noted that 3 μM does not fully suppress LC-

Previously, the N-glycan in V3 of HXB2, HXB10, LAI and BRU strains was reported to be dispensable for their infectivity to T cell lines, although detailed growth kinetics and experimental conditions were not described 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The experiments appear to have been done by infection initiated wit

Water solubility experimental data of 24 water + hydrocarbon mixtures are used to find a general correlation for CPA model parameters. Finally, the model is benchmarked against three complex water solubility data set (Athabasca bitumen + water mixtures) from the literature [25], [26]. The model reli

Sex has been shown to mediate the relationship between allelic differences in COMT and behavior (Harrison & Tunbridge, 2008). The COMT promoter region contains 2 estrogen response elements (Xie, Ho, & Ramsden, 1999) that can inhibit the formation of COMT (Jiang, Xie, Ramsden, & Ho, 2003). With regar

The COMT gene maps to chromosome 22q11.2 (Grossman et al., 1992) and has two protein isoforms. The differences between S-COMT and longer MB-COMT are in the N-termini, which use alternative translation initiation sites and promoters. These two isoforms display different affinity and capacity for COMT

Flavonoids are most common and widely distributed group of natural phenolic compounds synthesized by plants that have varied effects on mammalian cell systems (Kumar and Pandey, 2013). Several studies demonstrate that flavonoids might be potent inhibitors of several protein kinases involved in vario

In recent years, there has been much interest within the endothelin community regarding the possibility that ETA and ETB receptors may form homo- and heterodimers. Heterodimerization of endothelin receptors may provide an explanation for the results mentioned in the previous paragraph and might also
