  2020-12-11

  

  Most remarkably, an essentially identical collagen-binding mode to DDR2 is employed by SPARC, an α-helical matricellular protein unrelated to DDR2 that also recognizes the GVMGFO motif in collagen (Giudici et al., 2008, Hohenester et al., 2008). The convergence of binding mechanisms suggests that th

  2020-12-11

  

  Our knowledge of DDR-induced signaling pathways is still fragmentary. In particular, we do not know which signaling effectors interact with the phosphorylated receptors and how different effectors are linked to the control of specific cellular functions. The DDRs are at the interface between RTKs an

  2020-12-10

  

  While oxysterols were most extensively studied for its potent ability to mediate feedback regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis, some early investigations showed that the enzymes involved in its syntheses were highly upregulated in macrophages and dendritic cells—an indication of possible roles in

  2020-12-10

  

  Interestingly, our analyses of human PBMCs using a monoclonal antibody against EBI2 showed that the expression pattern of human EBI2 is largely overlapping with that in mice. Especially Th17 conotoxin showed homogeneous high expression of EBI2 compared with Th1 cells, which contained a fraction of

  2020-12-10

  

  As an endogenous negative modulator, CRBN inhibits AMPK’s activation (phosphorylation of Thr172) by directly binding to the α-subunit of AMPK, disrupting γ-subunit recruitment to the AMPK complex (Lee et al., 2011, Lee et al., 2013). In our study, we did not focus on AMPK activation, since only a si

  2020-12-10

  

  Intriguingly, one E2 residue may serve as a molecular ‘gate’ to allow the C-terminus of ubiquitin to access the closed E2~Ub conformations favorable for ubiquitin transfer. This residue, Asp87 in UbcH5 family members, resides on one side of the opening that leads to the active site Cys (Fig. 4D). In

  Moreover, in this study, weak expression of MT1 and MT2 was also detected in the oviduct muscular layers. Although there are no reports regarding the role of MT1 and MT2 in oviduct muscular layers, previous studies have demonstrated that melatonin plays an important role in the uterine contractility

  In light of this, our finding that UBTD1 interacts with ubiquitin conjugating enzymes is intriguing. Using two different screening approaches, we have demonstrated that UBTD1 interacts with the ubiquitin conjugating E2D family proteins. Using purified recombinant proteins and gel filtration chromato

  2020-12-10

  

  Cellular immune responses, such as phagocytosis and apoptosis, are very important processes to eradicate the invading pathogens and reduce concomitant host damage. And all of these processes are fine-tuned by the ubiquitin system (Li et al., 2016). Phagocytosis is a major mechanism of cellular immun

  2020-12-10

  

  Introduction Determining how genes function together as biological systems is a defining challenge of the genomic era. While genome sequences reveal the DNA blueprint of organisms, deciphering how this blueprint leads to biological function is challenging due in large part to the complexity of prot

  The lack of effective strategies, aiming to directly increase the neuronal survival, is reflected by the fact that the only available therapeutic interventions are indirect. They consist of acute therapeutic interventions involving chemical and/or surgical removal of the thrombotic clot (Taqi et al.

  2020-12-10

  

  DNA-PK (Jackson, 1997) is activated by DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs). It is a trimeric complex composed of the catalytic subunit, DNA-PKcs, and the Ku70/80 heterodimer. DNA-PK mediates non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which joins programmed DSBs created during V(D)J recombination and class swi

  The most significant source of DAG originates from the PLC family of enzymes, which produces DAG in an agonist-regulated reaction. PLCs constitute a wide family of enzymes acting on both phosphatidilinositols (PI) and phosphatidilcoline (PC) (Li et al., 2010) in the plasma membrane and other intrace

  Electron transfer pathway Intramolecular (or inter-domain) electron transfer (IET) in CDH has been studied in much depth [], and similar IET occurs in CcPDH, from the PQQ cofactor in the AA12 domain to the heme b in the AA8 domain. When two kinds of electron acceptors are used for measuring enzym

  Another notable finding in this study is that Cbl-b-mediated ubiquitination accelerates the degradation of phosphorylated DDR2. Cbl family has been documented to facilitate RTK degradation either in proteasome through K48-linked poly-ubiquitination or in lysosome through mono-, multiple mono- and K6
