2021-01-22
Next, we elucidated that the Mtb enolase binds to host plasminogen with a high affinity. The KD value of 360nM for this interaction suggested an avid binding between the two proteins in vivo. This observation is also in conciliation with the observed KD values for enolase-plasminogen interactions in

Initially, we ascertained that if the dose of elastase was sufficient to cause pulmonary emphysema, then pulmonary emphysema could be maintained throughout the study. We found that elastase at 3U was sufficient to cause emphysema that remained over 35 days. In this experimental design of lung diseas

Introduction Melatonin mainly originates from the pineal gland (Reiter, 1991) and is well known for its physiological functions in the regulation of circadian rhythms (Cajochen et al., 2003) and as a potent free radical scavenger and broad-spectrum antioxidant in mammals (Paradies et al., 2010, T

2021-01-22
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

Conclusion As far as we know, this work constituted the first use of silver nitrate staining and sequential FISH in V. vinifera. This technique allowed the unequivocal identification of Ag-NORs and corresponding rDNA loci. Besides, silver nitrate staining and sequential FISH may bring new insight

Proposed methodology At the outset, the wind power outputs must be obtained which are to be included in the OPF model. This work utilizes a modified version of the simulation method. Rather than using the simulated wind power values for each hour of the year, the probability of each wind power in

Cx-platin could improve the level of cellular uptake and DNA platination, hence triggering distinct DNA damage repair pathways. The data (Fig. 3B, C and D) demonstrated that Cx-platin could increase the foci number of γH2AX in cancer cells, preventing the efficient DSBs repair. This gives a good exp

Previously, we showed that MS-10, a combined extract of Cirsium japonicum var. Maackii (Maxim.) Matsum. (Korean milk thistle) and Thymus vulgaris L., increases the efficiency of estrogen in the estrogen-deficient state by activating the estrogen receptor (ER). MS-10 increased bone mineral density (B

Conclusions Mulan is a mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase with diverse roles in cell growth, cell death, and mitophagy. To better understand the mechanism of Mulan's function we used a modified yeast two-hybrid system to isolate proteins that interact with its cytoplasmic RING domain (amino acids

Conflict statement Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men after lung cancer [1], [2]. The incidence and mortality rate of prostate cancer are significantly higher in developed countries especially th

Physiological changes induced by CRF are mediated through CRF1 and CRF2 receptors (Chang et al., 1993, Lovenberg et al., 1995). Previous findings with CRF1 receptor antagonists showed that activation of CRF1 receptor is involved in maternal separation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations (Kehne et al.,

MuRF1 and MuRF3 in cooperation with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes UbcH5a, -b, and -c were found to mediate degradation of myosin heavy chain β/slow (MHC β/slow) and MHC IIa via UPS, both, in vitro and in vivo [60]. Mice lacking both MuRF1 and MuRF3 developed skeletal muscle myopathy and hyper

Three DDR2 binding sites have been mapped on the collagen triple helix by us for collagen type 1 and by others using the collagen toolkit for collagen type 2. All of the three reported binding sequences are conserved in the α1 chain of collagen types 1, 2 and 3. The central motif sequence GARGQAGVMG

Among prostaglandins (PG), PGD2 remained the most elusive species for a long time and was initially regarded as having negligible biological activity [1]. In 1974 its inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation was discovered by Smith et al. [2] and Mills & McFarlain [3], and both pressor and depresso
