2019-08-08

STRING protein interactions were used to highlight enzymes directly associated with DHODH (Fig. 10) (Szklarczyk et al., 2015). The reported protein-protein associations are primarily within the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathways (CAD, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1, uridine monophosphate synthe

2019-08-08

The serotonin transporter gene () encodes an integral membrane protein that transports serotonin from the synaptic spaces into the presynaptic neurons. The encoded protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent way. This protein is a target of psychomotor stimulants

According to the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NC-IUBMB, 1992), peptidases are divided into two classes, namely exopeptidases and endopeptidases, based on their actions on substrates and their active sites, respectively. Endopeptidases inclu

Conclusions Mulan is a mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin ligase with diverse roles in cell growth, cell death, and mitophagy. To better understand the mechanism of Mulan\'s function we used a modified yeast two-hybrid system to isolate proteins that interact with its cytoplasmic RING domain (amino acids

The lack of robust immunocompetent

2019-08-08

The lack of robust immunocompetent animal models permissive for HCV makes it hard to assess if the quantity and quality of vaccine-induced immunity is sufficient to confer protection. Thus, it is difficult to predict to what extent antibody responses induced by current vaccination approaches, includ

Typical examples of CO2 utilization

2019-08-06

Typical examples of CO2 utilization and reduction technologies are catalytic reduction of CO2 to C1 compounds such as CO, formic acid, methanol and so on [[3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]], and catalytic organic synthesis using CO2 as a feedstock [[11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]] as shown in Fig. 1.

2019-08-05

Our finding that VEGF-A induced downregulation of EphB4 is VEGFR2 dependent (Fig. 4A) is not surprising because VEGFR2 is the primary signaling receptor of VEGF-A in EC [34].

As compared with the broad spectrum

As compared with the broad spectrum of chemicals known to serve as the ligands for PXR and CAR, the ligands of VDR are previously restricted to VD3 as well as its hydroxylated metabolites and the secondary bile EX 527 LCA.

A phenylacetic Bicuculline derivative

2019-08-01

A phenylacetic Bicuculline derivative, discovered in a high throughput screen for CRTH2, inhibited the binding of H-PGD to CRTH2 receptors on 293 cells with an IC of 0.010μM, and inhibited the binding of H-PGD to DP receptors with an IC of only 8.3μM.

Under conditions of energy scarcity

Under conditions of energy scarcity or nutritional restriction, AMPK, a critical energy sensor, is activated in response to the increased ratio of AMP to ATP.

For human health risk assessment of chemicals, a default uncertainty factor (UF) of 3.16 is used to capture inter individual variation in toxicokinetics (Dorne and Renwick, 2005).

There are numerous theories of schizophrenia etiopathology and genetics is often taken into consideration [25]. The dopamine D2 receptor is important since it is blocked by typical antipsychotic drugs with high affinity which is correlated with the ability to control psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia.
