  Since ET-1 was discovered first and showed a wide variety of actions not only on the cardiovascular system but also on various other tissues, much information has accumulated on ET-1 compared with the two other peptides. The method for measurement of ET-1 levels in plasma or various tissues by means

  Even more unambiguous was the relative contribution of Gq/11 signaling in AngII-mediated transactivation as measured by the ERK1/2 and the BRET-based readout. Although Gq/11 was absolutely required for ERK1/2 phosphorylation following AngII-stimulation, in contrast, we observed a sustained EGFR-Grb2

  Genes involved in oxysterol metabolism The main enzymes that participate in the metabolism of oxysterols generally belong into one of two groups: transferases or oxidoreductases [22]. The following chapter describes those genes of oxysterol metabolism whose polymorphisms have been associated with

  Generally, glycines (and other small residues such as alanine) present in a helical GxxxG-motif that are facing the same side of the helix form a uniform surface that enables direct contact with a second helix. Crystal structures of multipass membrane proteins have demonstrated that GxxxG-motifs are

  To function as Ub-ligases, E3 proteins must interact with E2s. As compared to the extensive studies on E3s, functional studies on E2s are relatively rudimentary in higher plants. We previously reported that there are 48 genes encoding Ub-conjugating (UBC) fold-containing putative E2 proteins in the

  The data presented above clearly indicate an important role of eIF4E for the nucleocytoplasmic transport of the human iNOS mRNA. To analyze the sequence elements of the iNOS mRNA that are important for this eIF4E-mediated transport we performed transient transfection experiments using constructs con

  Bearing in mind that temperamental traits are genetically determined, in the present study we have chosen to investigate COMT and OPRM1 gene polymorphisms related to stimulation of the nervous system, which is extremely important in combat sports. The μ-opioid receptor gene OPRM1 is located on the

  Assessing DUB activity The Ub field has benefited greatly from the past efforts of biochemists and chemical biologists who have reconstituted Ub signals in vitro and generated tools for capturing or measuring DUB activities, many of which can be readily produced or are commercially available (Ekk

  Conclusions Enzyme prodrug therapy mediated by implantable biomaterials combines the benefits offered by the site specific drug delivery techniques and the systemic administration of drugs. From the former, SMEPT inherits the localized mode of drug delivery with lower systemic distribution of the

  Introduction Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a daily concern in vascular surgery, as successful treatment is exclusively achieved by open or endovascular repair. Its prevalence is 2–11% among male smokers, and rupture the major complication, is associated with unacceptably high morbidity and m

  In the present study, BACH1 downregulation did not correlate with nuclear accumulation of NRF2, suggesting that these changes were triggered via an independent mechanism. BACH1 is a transcriptional repressor that is regulated by heme. Heme binding to the BACH1 C-terminal domain inhibits BACH1 DNA bi

  There are a few visible DNA staining methods, which use dyes such as methylene blue, brilliant cresyl blue [7], crystal violet [8], Nile blue [9], [10] and ethyl violet [11]. However, although safe, these methods require long staining times, lack sensitivity and are not specific for nucleic acids.

  Materials and methods Results Because of the specific binding of DGKε to an arachidonoyl group, there was a particular interest to evaluate the behavior of 2-AG with this isoform of DGK. The substrate specificity and kinetic constants for DGKε has been recently reported [13]. Using the preferr

  Electron transport via DHODH activity will allow the generation of mitochondrial ROS without the consumption of α-ketoglutarate or NADH. Glutamine-dependent flux through the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation can also enable generation of mitochondrial ROS (Weinberg et al., 2010). The latter pr

  Results Discussion The most relevant overall finding was that DDR1 is present in myelin and is probably synthesized by oligodendrocytes. This result was supported by three different approaches. First, we detected presence of DDR1 mRNA in myelin by ISH. Second, the pattern of DDR1 immunostainin
