  2020-02-26

  

  ASC was reported as a potent antiviral and antifungal agent, and its derivatives could modulate a variety of physiological activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-metastatic, and anti-diabetic activities in animals. Mie Tsuruga et al. found that 4-o-methylascochlorin had immunosuppressive activity, but

  CaneCPI-4 showed strong inhibitory activity against recombinant falcipain-2 and falcipain-3, with IC values of 11.9±0.4nM and 42.3±0.8nM, respectively (Table 1, Supplementary material). Falcipains are involved in hemoglobin cleavage, with generation of two fractions: the heme and the globin. The hem

  2020-02-26

  

  Phosphorylation of small GTPases has been also observed to affect binding affinity for the GDP/GTP cycle regulators notably GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) [10]. Indeed the EGF or cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of Cdc42 is associated with enhanced Cdc42–GDI interaction [8], [11]. RhoA inhibition by

  A large fraction of UCEs are transcribed (T-UCEs) in a tissue specific manner, and are deregulated in several human cancers (Calin et al., 2007, Fabbri et al., 2008, Fassan et al., 2014, Olivieri et al., 2016). Indeed, it has been shown that T-UCEs may also act as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regu

  2020-02-26

  

  The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand regulated transcription factors has proven to be a rich source of targets for the development of therapeutics for a wide range of human diseases. The NR3B subfamily known as the estrogen-related receptor (ERRα[NR3B1], ERRβ[NR3B2] and ERRγ[NR3B3]) regul

  2020-02-26

  

  The Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 gene (EWSR1) is a partner in a large, diverse range of mesenchymal (and some nonmesenchymal) tumors (Tables 1 and 2). As the 5′ partner, EWSR1 is able to fuse with an array of genes. These fusions can generate genetically different but phenotypically identical n

  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

  2020-02-26

  

  The findings of Qiu et al. (2016) represent the first instance of a Ub-specific mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, as well as the first documentation of E1/E2 independent ubiquitination. Post-translational modification of Ub certainly adds layers of complexity to our understanding of the Ub signal and sho

  Restenosis after angioplasty remains a remarkable challenge, although drug-eluting stents have reduced the incidence of restenosis considerably . Vascular smooth muscle Radicicol (VSMCs) play a pivotal role in the development of intimal thickening and restenosis. VSMCs proliferate and migrate from

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Our results based on the Y2H analysis between the U-box-motif region of E3s and the UBC domain of E2s showed that, among 40 rice E2s, 11 E2s accounted for 70% of the interactions with 17 ARM-U-box E3 Ub-ligases (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). These 11 E2s belong t

  Studies also provide evidence that cytokines such as TGF-β, a TH3-type cytokine, may also play a role in airway remodeling. Data obtained by Cohen et al suggest that TGF-β1 can induce human BSMC proliferation by increasing the expression of IGFBP-3. Hence, the mitogenic action of TGF-β1 could be rel

  Functionally, all members of the IL-12 family have been annotated along major inflammatory signaling axes but their roles have often weighed on opposing sides of the immunological balance. For instance, IL-12 and IL-23 are classified as pro-inflammatory cytokines [10] as opposed to the rather protec

  In summary, our data show a novel mechanism: CPD-mediated autoprocessing of C difficile toxins regulates their proinflammatory activities. Thus, our study provides a new understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of C difficile toxins and insights into designing new therapeutics a
