  2021-02-25

  

  Protein degradation via UPP involves two steps. One step is the conjugation of multiple ubiquitin to a substrate. The other step is the degradation of tagged protein by the downstream 26S proteasome complex. Protein ubiquitination is the E1–E2–E3 enzymatic cascade (Hershko & Ciechanover, 1998). E1-a

  Introduction The identification of genetic variants that influence susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD) determines functional studies, the generation of model systems and directs therapeutic strategies. To date, classical candidate gene association studies and genome-wide approaches have fa

  2021-02-24

  

  Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by conversion of the l-arginine to NO and l-citrulline through reaction which is catalyzed by nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) (Knowles and Moncada, 1994). NO as an important molecule not only play a role as second messenger but also binds to cytochrome c oxidase and de

  In our model, CSF-1R blockade with PLX647 mainly targeted the more abundant MDSCs instead of macrophages, suggesting that the role of CSF-1 may be tumor model-dependent. Different tumor models, genetic backgrounds, or treatments may induce different growth factors or cytokines in the tumor microenvi

  The preceding results show no association between the EP1 gene polymorphisms and suicide completers in the Japanese population. Impulsive aggression is one of the most important risk factors for suicide especially in the younger generation (Brent et al., 2002, Melhem et al., 2007). EP1 knockout mice

  Activatable MRI probes MRI is commonly used in clinics around the world and has the advantages of outstanding tissue-penetration depth and extremely high spatial resolution for in vivo imaging [33]. MRI has relatively poor sensitivity and usually requires polycomb repressive complex agents to en

  Importantly, we observed significantly the reduced myocardial infarct size, the improved left ventricular function and the inhibited fibrosis after I/R with oral GA-BH4 supplementation before ischemia (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Usually, there is a view that the antioxidation induced by reducing agent

  Introduction Obesity constitutes a global healthcare problem and has many adverse effects on the cardiovascular function [1,2]. Recently, the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has emerged as a relevant fat depot for cardiovascular risk and as a potential trigger in vascular dysfunction. Indeed, PV

  Despite a high affinity for progesterone and a relatively high affinity for testosterone [7], the binding of progesterone and testosterone to CBG is often disregarded [1], [2], [3]. However, the concentrations of these two hormones varies considerably under both normal physiological and pathophysiol

  We initially identified four putative Egr1 l-name (−39/−36, −105/−102, −107/−104, and −227/−224) on the DBH proximal promoter. The deletion and mutagenesis experiments indicate that the motif at −227/−224 is required for Egr1-elicited reduction in DBH promoter activity. It remains to be determined w

  Here we uncover a highly diverse superfamily of self-replicating MGEs, dubbed pipolins, which are present in three major bacterial phyla, as well as in mitochondria, and encode divergent PolB carrying TPR1 and TPR2 subdomains.

  What does this mean for cancer therapy? We found that components of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway rarely mutate in cancer, clearly showing its importance. In our experimental models, the pathway, including DHODH itself, was primed to respond when the block in CoQ redox-cycling was removed

  Dgat−/− mice, however, had less adipose tissue, as reflected by lower total fat pad weights and body triglyceride content. Because of these findings, we hypothesized that, although Dgat−/− mice could make triglycerides through non-DGAT pathway(s), their triglyceride synthesis capacity might not be e
