  Introduction Fish commonly employ pheromones to regulate a variety of functions including reproductive communication [1]. Reproductive pheromones induce both primer effects, such as changes in the endocrine or physiological state of conspecifics, and releaser effects such as rapid behavioral respon

  2020-11-18

  

  Plasminogen is composed of five N-terminal kringle domains and a C-terminal serine protease domain. The kringle domains have an affinity to lysine and binding of plasminogen with its receptors is dependent on its lysine interacting kringle domains [10], [28]. In the current report, we show that enol

  The imaging and biochemical data presented here demonstrated that in T cells, AEP played a specific function in cleaving Foxp3 but not Tbet. These results are in accordance with previous AEP studies where it has been shown that AEP substrates in part are not amenable to other protease activity. In a

  2020-11-18

  

  A decrease in heme levels enables the phosphorylation of eIF2α by HRI and thereby inhibition of eIF2α activity. Indeed, the relatively small change in cytosolic heme levels in SZ PMX 205 showed downstream functional consequences manifested by almost 50% elevation in the phosphorylation of eIF2α in

  2020-11-18

  

  ER redox imbalance leads to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, which might trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) [17]. In the initiation of UPR, GRP78 preferentially binds to unfolded proteins, shifting the binding equilibrium away from IRE-1, PERK, and ATF-6, the initiators of UPR [18].

  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

  2020-11-18

  

  The differences between ground and transition state properties are exemplified by a comparison of our human–yeast results with those of a structural study of possible differences in ubiquitin-Uba-1 binding in yeast (known structure) with human (simulated in [12]). Their discussion focuses on Ubiquit

  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

  Materials and methods Results Discussion In this work, we have studied the contribution of different pathways to the slow but stable progression of replication forks through DNA damaged by MMS [15]. The in vivo analysis of DNA replication forks along a specific chromosome of S. cerevisiae h

  As for antiviral activity, eight out of 23 synthesized compounds were active against influenza B virus with EC50 values in the range of 0.19–39 μM. Four of the eight influenza B hits were active against influenza A and two were also active against RSV (4 and 6, EC50 = 0.40 and 1.8 μM, respectively).

  Considering the divergence of multiple DGAT isoforms, we examined whether MiDGAT1 and MiDGAT2s utilized different fatty acids as the substrate to synthesize TAGs. GC-MS analysis indicated that C16:0 and C18:0 were the major components of TAGs in yeast cells, and all three MiDGATs displayed the same

  Predictions of enzyme topology for DGAT2 are more difficult since the DGAT2 polypeptide sequences are more diverse across species than those of DGAT1. The length and function of the hydrophilic N-terminus preceding the first hydrophobic segment varies with species – for example, segments in fungi ar

  Concluding remarks A crucial step in the microbial degradation of steroids is the 1(2)-dehydrogenation of the steroid nucleus by FAD-dependent Δ1-KSTDs. This step is required to initiate the opening of the steroid nucleus under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. A large variety of steroid-deg

  The three-dimensional crystal structure of Ca2+ loaded CaM reveals a dumbbell-shaped molecule with two roughly globular lobes, the N- and C-terminal lobes linked by a long solvent-exposed helix, which has been shown by NMR to be non-helical in its central part and flexible in solution [13].
