  Introduction Prolyl hydroxylation is a widely observed post translational modification in collagen, an abundant animal protein. The high content (~13% per chain of the triple helical structure) of 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp,O) in collagen, togather with the natural abundance of collagen has led to the e

  2021-02-07

  

  Soon after the discovery of ET1 and the cloning of its ETA and ETB receptors, low-molecular-weight compounds were identified that can prevent the binding and effects of radioactively labeled ET1 3, 5, 6, 8. Initially, these ERAs resulted from screening efforts (e.g. BQ123 39, 49 and bosentan [50]).

  Nuclear estrogen receptors: Indirect genomic signaling As mentioned earlier, the transcription of several genes that do not contain EREs in their promoter regions can also be regulated by estradiol, without direct binding of the estrogen receptors to the DNA. According to the most recent reports,

  Physiological roles for EPAC isoforms: vascular function The effects of cAMP on limiting vascular endothelial cell (VEC) inflammation and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation have been well documented 36, 37, 38. However, recent work has demonstrated that several key effects of cAMP i

  Enzyme activations Activated proteinases can unleash a deluge of tissue damage (Zucker et al., 2009). Once activated, the essential enzymes such as serine proteases and cysteine proteases cannot discriminate between self and non-self, burning away self-tissues (Chien et al., 2009, Laskar et al.,

  2021-02-07

  

  Like all other cellular processes, ubiquitination is also tightly regulated; more so, as myriads of pathways are controlled via this conjugation and dysregulation of ubiquitination has been implicated in various diseases including cancer [16], [17]. Quite a few of such regulatory mechanisms that con

  The E1 enzyme is the apex for downstream enzymatic cascades and signaling pathways mediated by Ub and Ub-like proteins (Ubls) (Pickart, 2001). Studying characteristics of E1 and its catalytic functions may throw light to the role of ubiquitination in cell development. All known eukaryotic E1 are mon

  A recent study revealed that in human glioma cells, DNA-PKcs interacted with the regulatory γ subunit of AMPK and positively regulated AMPK phosphorylation and activation under glucose-deprived conditions. This suggested that DNA-PK is an important regulator of AMPK activation in response to energy

  The potential impact of multiple washings on DNA retention in semen stains had not previously been addressed. In the present study, multiple washes of semen-stained cotton cloth produced only a minimal loss of recovered DNA suggesting that multiple washes may not materially affect DNA recovery (Fig.

  There was a good alignment profile between compound 26 (IC50 0.06μM) and MTX (IC50 0.08μM) explaining its activity pattern (Fig. 5a). Fig. 5b clearly indicates a different alignment profiles where carbonyl groups are not on the same side between 25 (IC50>100.0μM) and MTX which is in consistency with

  The aniline R2 group was extensively explored and a large variety of substitution was tolerated at several positions on the aryl ring (). Notably, substitution at the 3-position often gave increased potency. Increasing lipophilic bulk at this position gave increasing potency within an ether series (

  Gamboge is a dry resin obtained from Garcinia hanburyi HOOK. f. (Guttiferae). It has a variety of bioactivities, including detoxifying, homeostasis maintaining, anti-inflammatory and parasiticidic effects. Available evidence suggests that gamboge bears anticancer characteristics with gambogenic BMH-

  In S. cerevisiae, Mek1, a paralog of the checkpoint kinase Chk2, mediates cell-cycle arrest in response to meiotic defects (Bailis and Roeder, 2000, Xu et al., 1997). Mek1 is associated with meiotic chromosome axes, where its activation requires interactions with two other axis proteins, Hop1 and Re
