2020-01-16
We propose two different pathways for the production of this species: either that described by Dooley [24], where the phenol ring is first activated by binding of its oxygen to copper, or one where a copper-peroxo species would directly react with an active site tyrosine residue (Scheme 1B). This se

2020-01-16
To explore the mechanism behind differential activation kinetics, Marcott et al. (2018) manipulate local dopamine dynamics. They show that differences in dopamine concentrations are not responsible for different D2R activation kinetics, since D2-IPSCs reach similar amplitudes at different rates in N

Concluding remark Acknowledgements Detection and repair of the numerous, and potentially lethal, DNA lesions arising in human histone demethylase inhibitor daily is largely mediated by an efficient system collectively termed the DNA-damage response (DDR). Paradoxically, DNA-repair processes

In particular, EphB4 has been one of the most studied receptor of the Eph family: inhibition of EphB4 expression using interfering-RNA or antisense oligonucleotides inhibited proliferation, survival and invasion of PC3 prostate cancer glutathione s-transferase in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of Ep

Mammalian cells contain significant amounts of a relatively lesser known enzyme that shows marked specifity for ether lipids containing AA and other 20–22 carbon fatty acids. This enzyme is called CoA-independent transacylase (CoA-IT), and transfers polyunsaturated moieties of 20–22 carbons, typical

The development of novel approaches to study GPCR-mediated transactivation in live m6A is important, and this study describes a unique BRET-based quantification of Grb2 recruitment to the EGFR as a direct readout of GPCR-mediated transactivation. We have previously used the recruitment of Grb2 to R

2020-01-15
MuRF3 interacts with four-and-a-half LIM domain (FHL2) and γ-filamin leading to their degradation via UPS [64]. Conversely, abnormal aggregation of these proteins was observed in mice lacking MuRF3. Moreover, MuRF3-/- mice were found more prone to cardiac rupture after acute myocardial infarction (A

Conformational Activation of APC/C Enables Binding to the Coactivator CDC20 APC/C comes to life by binding a coactivator. This is controlled in part by phosphorylation and APC/C conformational changes that expose the Calcium Ionophore I for the C box and IR tail of the coactivator. In interphase

Results Discussion Previous studies have mapped ABCF1 as a risk factor gene for rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune pancreatitis (Ota et al., 2007, Richard et al., 1998). Additionally, recent genome-wide association studies have also associated ABCF1 with the risk of gout (Dong et al., 2017) a

Introduction In mammals there are ten known isoforms of the enzyme diacylglycerol kinase (DGK), as well as gene splice variants. Enzymes of this family all have a homologous active site but differ widely in their molecular mass, mechanisms of activation and biological function (Shulga et al., 201

Primary human GBM neurospheres expressed high levels of the metabolic enzyme fatty acyl-CoA synthetase VL3 (ACSVL3) that were associated with CSCs self-renewal and tumorigenic capacity. ACSVL3 knockdown significantly decreased ALDH levels, indicating its contribution to cell metabolism and maintenan
