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

The in vitro cytotoxicity of the prodrugs was assessed in the LS174T human colon cell line (). The results were found to reflect the stability of the prodrugs, with the unstable urea compounds ( and ) giving relatively poor cytotoxicity differentials between prodrugs and parents (i.e., approximately

The binding pattern of 1 was analysed by flexible molecular docking. The (±)-J 113397 receptor inserted into the narrow ATP binding site of CK2 (Fig. 2). As shown the aliphatic chain of 1 was located at the edge of the pocket and established van der Waals interactions with the side chains residues

Although it is well established that estrogen and ESR1 mediate numerous reproductive processes, increasing evidence suggests that ESR2 also lays an integral role in reproduction. ESR2 is a mediator in folliculogenesis and may also act by stimulating ovulation and regulating luteinization (Su et al.,

Recent studies have also uncovered additional roles for E2 enzymes and E2~Ub conjugates in modulating the activity of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), such as OTUB1 (Juang et al., 2012, Wiener et al., 2013, Wiener et al., 2012). Interestingly, OTUB1 has also been shown to associate and modulate the

2020-10-27
The interface between the E3 ligase and the E2 enzyme can vary, and ZNF451 and SP-RING ligases stabilize this interaction via noncovalent binding to a scaffold SUMO (SUMOB) on the backside of the E2 (Cappadocia et al., 2015; Eisenhardt et al., 2015; Streich & Lima, 2016). By contrast, RanBP2 does no

Discussion The regulation of intracellular cholesterol levels is a biological process of vital importance for cellular function and integrity, and involves robust transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms that are sensitive to metabolic feedback control. Amongst post-transcriptional mec

2020-10-27
Primases are classified into two major groups: first, the DnaG primases, found in bacteria and bacteriophages, and second, the archaeoeukaryotic primases. Remarkably, bacterial and archaeoeukaryotic primases have no structural similarity and, presumably, evolved independently (Leipe et al., 1999). T

In this context, we initiated a program to develop new antiviral chemotypes towards a host factor implicated in SL-327 receptor replication: the host (human) dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) [21]. We recently identified this enzyme as the molecular target of 1-aryl-4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydrotriazines, s

The crystal structure of the B. subtilis Maf (BSU28050) was published in 2000, and, to date, it represents the only experimental work with a purified Maf protein (Minasov et al., 2000). The structure revealed a structural fold similar to that found in ITPases and YjjX proteins, which are nucleotide

Plants Cp are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and are believed to act as virulence/defense factors for both hosts and pathogens. Cp are also found in plants, animals and bacteria and are known to be virulence factors involved in bacterial pathogenicity [29]. Further, Cp are involved in pepti

Introduction The first reference to a possible involvement of orexins in the effects of drugs of abuse appeared in 2003 and showed that orexigenic peptide neurons respond to the chronic administration of morphine followed by abrupt withdrawal symptoms caused by opioid receptor antagonists (Georgesc

Another interesting study was that by Kotyuk et al. (2015), who investigated the association between COMT rs4680 and personality in elderly people. The authors analysed the association between COMT rs4680 and NEO-FFI. The GG d-amphetamine correlated with lower mean Neuroticism score and higher Agre

Many studies have also demonstrated that CK2 inhibition profoundly affects the PI3K/AKT pathway in different cancer models; promising results have been obtained in hematological malignancies (Buontempo et al., 2014, Borgo et al., 2013, Piazza et al., 2012, Cheong et al., 2010, Gowda et al., 2016), a
