AMPK is a master regulator of metabolic homeostasis, its broad spectrum of metabolic activities makes it an attractive target for treatment of metabolic and related disorders including Diabetes and Obesity (Madhavi et al., 2018). It controls lipid metabolism through its target genes PPAR-γ, C/EBP-α

All components of the UPP
2020-05-28
All components of the UPP were predicted to be susceptible to oxidative stress due to the cysteine residues in their active sites [36]. Curcusone D inhibits DUBs but has no significant effect on the action of E1, E2s, E3s, or the proteasome, which indicates that the targets of the ROS induced by cur

Introduction Maintenance of genome integrity is essential for life, and faithful DNA replication and repair ensure this. One of the most important parameters for DNA maintenance is the regulation of optimal concentrations of the four 5′-deoxyribonucleoside-triphosphates (dNTPs) the precursors for D

Introduction In vitro synthetic biology has received considerably less attention than in vivo processes so far (Foster and Church, 2007). However, cell-free biosynthetic production is very likely to become important for many biotechnological challenges for reasons such as (energy) efficiency, syste

br DDR mediated signaling DDRs
2020-05-26
DDR-mediated signaling DDRs initiate signaling pathways in a context and cell type-dependent manner. For instance, DDR1 was reported to activate ERK in vascular smooth muscle availability (Lu et al., 2011), to inhibit ERK in mesangial cells (Curat and Vogel, 2002), and to have no effect on ERK a

2020-05-26
Three kinase inhibitors dasatinib (type I), imatinib (type II) and nilotinib (type II), identified initially as inhibitors of tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL, were found to target DDRs in a chemical proteomic profiling study (Bantscheff et al., 2007, Hantschel et al., 2008). These tyrosine kinase inhibitors

2020-05-26
Protein deubiquitination is becoming increasingly instrumental in understanding the complexities of the Ub system. Adding to this complexity is the discovery of bacterial effectors with DUB activity that have structurally adapted themselves to interfere with the eukaryotic Ub system (Pruneda et al.,

2020-05-26
Twin studies have shown that P has moderate heritability. Zuckerman (1989) reviewed the earlier studies of P or related traits and found a median heritability of 0.51. However, twin studies using an Eysenckian P scale have tended to estimate somewhat lower heritabilities than this, in the range 0.36

2020-05-26
In addition to Gα coupling, it is important to consider that the transition from goal-directed to habitual drug taking also relies on striatal D2R-A2AR heterodimers. Following cocaine self-administration, D2R-A2AR density is increased in the NAc, leading to greater antagonism of the inhibitory (anti

For this reason we hypothesized that the DHFR gene could be a potential candidate in clefting. Our data, obtained using a family-based association approach, evidenced an association with borderline significance for the SNP rs1677693. The variant allele A at this marker seems to reduce the risk of C

2020-05-26
Numerous studies have pointed to the DGAT reaction being critical for TAG assembly and in several cases it has been shown to limit carbon flux from lipid precursors towards TAG accumulation [12]. Thus, in Brassica napus, the DGAT substrate, diacylglycerol (DAG), accumulates during periods of rapid l

2020-05-26
Films treated with Diaz-ES-VWFIIINle but not exposed to UV light supported only slight platelet deposition, suggesting that passively-bound peptides were removed under shear. However, treatment with Diaz-ES-VWFIIINle and UV restored platelet surface coverage to about 50% of the level on native colla

The role of DDR1 in glomerular injury has been then further studied by the Chatziantoniou group in experimentally-induced crescentic glomerulonephritis, by injection of alloimmune sheep nephrotoxic serum (NTS) [54]. Glomerulonephritis produced a 17-fold increase of DDR1 expression, predominantly in

Here, we examine the associations between serum pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and cognitive functioning in early-stage bipolar I disorder (BDI) patients. As per previous studies, ‘early-stage’ was defined as being within three years of the first manic episode (Kauer-Sant\'Anna et al., 2009). W
