The ubiquitin like modifier NEDD
2019-11-14
The ubiquitin-like modifier NEDD8 (NEURAL PRECURSOR CELL EXPRESSED, DEVELOPMENTALLY DOWN-REGULATED 8) uses similar enzymatic machineries for NEDD8 conjugation as ubiquitin (Figure 1) [11, 12, 13, 14]. In plants as well as in other eukaryotes, the number of E3 ligases for NEDD8 and the number of know

Although our knowledge of the biochemical and biological functions of E3 ubiquitin ligases has increased in B-cell malignancies, a deeper characterization of cell-context dependent substrate regulation and biological relevance is needed. The recent approval of a general proteasome inhibitor, VELCADE

Introduction Protein modification by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins is one of the most common and important regulatory mechanisms in biology (Finley et al., 2004, Pickart, 2004). Ubiquitination is carried out by an enzymatic cascade consisting of three steps. In the first step, ubiquitin i

DNA hypomethylation has been found in liver tumor and other tumors of humans, such as laryngeal cancer, p53 tumor suppressor tumors, tongue squamous cell carcinoma and uterine leiomyomas [[20], [21], [22], [23], [24]]. Then, we mainly sought to confirm whether TCA could induce DNA hypomethylation i

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

CysLTs trigger contractile and inflammatory processes through the specific interaction with cell surface receptors belonging to the rhodopsin family of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) genes. Until now, two receptor subtypes have been cloned, namely CysLT1 and CysLT2[8]. In particular, when the

Our published results also show that the Y2 and the Y5, but not the Y1, receptors mediate NPY-induced excitation-secretion coupling in EECs (Abdel-Samad et al., 2012). Thus, it is highly important to consider controlling ET-1 circulating level via blockade of Y2 and/or Y5 receptor activation (Abdel-

2019-11-14
Primary renal PNET was first reported by Seemayer et al in 1975. The possible etiology of rPNET is based on the theory of neural cell intussusception in the kidney during development that initiates the tumorigenesis. rPNET most commonly affects young adults, with a mean age of 30.4 years and male pr

Introduction Taenia solium is the causative agent of human taeniasis/cysticercosis and porcine cysticercosis, a major health problem and a veterinary economic challenge in developing countries of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. In Mexico, approximately 500 human neurocysticercosis cases were repor

Other karyopherins besides CRM1 must bind to FG-Nups in a similar fashion. However, at an atomic resolution, only the interaction of importin β with isolated FG motifs has been analyzed (Bayliss et al., 2000, Bayliss et al., 2002, Liu and Stewart, 2005). Despite similarities in the FG-binding pocket

Early diagnosis of CVS and DCI is a key issue in the management of SAH patients. In this regard, CT Perfusion (CTP) is the most accurate and sensitive method for noninvasive imaging assessment of cerebral ischemia with a great value for prediction and early diagnosis of CVS and DCI. CTP is a relativ
