  Alternatively, procedural factors may have contributed to the conflicting results. For instance, in order to have a more circumscribed area of drug diffusion, a volume of 0.05μl was injected in experiment 1b, which is four times lower than the one used in the mentioned plus-maze investigation. Besid

  Several highly selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs) have been reported and marketed [6], including celecoxib [7] and etoricoxib [8] (Fig. 1). Even though these drugs produce less ulceration than conventional NSAIDs, coxibs still produce significant gastric and cardiovascular side effects due to the d

  The ERRα gene lacks the typical TATA and CAAT boxes, but has multiple consensus Sp1 binding elements in the GC-rich promoter (Shi et al., 1997). Previously, our laboratory has shown that ERRα expression is upregulated in the mouse uterus by estrogen (Shigeta et al., 1997) and recently we identified

  Conclusions ERK 1/2 and its phosphorylation plays an essential role in the hippocampus and can be triggered by both ROS accumulation and excessive Ca2+. DBP exposure can also affect the production of ROS and Ca2+ in the hippocampus. The question therefore arises as to whether the cell injury or a

  2021-05-19

  

  MAPKs are a family of phosphorylating enzymes that orchestrate various cellular response in proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, stress response, and energy metabolism [11]. There are at least four major members including extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activat

  We continued to investigate the contribution of the EP1 pkd kinase to nociceptive sensitization by utilizing its natural ligand PGE and tested the effect of local subcutaneous injection of PGE (5nmol in 5μl) into one hindpaw on mechanical and heat pain thresholds. Wild-type mice displayed maximum s

  In an effort to discover additional GPCRs directing the migratory events of responding B cells, we identified Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced gene 2 (EBI2) as a promising candidate. The gene encoding EBI2 (Ebi2, also known as Gpr183) was originally identified together with Ebi1 (Ccr7) as the most h

  Inhibiting APC/C during Interphase and prior to Anaphase Because ubiquitylation by APC/C triggers cell division, it is essential that APC/C is restrained until cells are prepared for its substrates to be degraded. In addition to regulation by phosphorylation, an additional layer of control comes

  2021-05-19

  

  One of the most fundamental distinctions between Ub signals is substrate monoubiquitination versus polyubiquitination. With the exception of the E2, UBE2W, which represents a special case because it emca only ubiquitinates the flexible N-termini of substrates [5], [6], [20], most examples of monoub

  Substoichiometric substrate modification E3 ligases catalyze the rapid transfer of the SUMOD from the E2 enzyme to the substrate. By definition, enzymes are recycled in the reaction, allowing multiple rounds of substrate modification by a single enzyme. Thus, enzymes function at substoichiometric

  Tailoring pharmacological treatment to the genetic background of a person can enhance therapeutic response (), increase compliance (), and decrease drug toxicity (, , ). Because cocaine addiction has a strong genetic basis, with the vulnerability to develop an addiction estimated to be as high as 72

  2021-05-18

  

  The biological significance of DNA ligases is attributed to their function in DNA replication, recombination and/or DNA repair [1], [2]. In vertebrates, three different DNA ligases I, III and IV are recognized. DNA ligase I is essential for the Okazaki fragments’ ligation during lagging-strand DNA s

  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

  Introduction Although not fully understood, the molecular toxicology of sulfur mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, SM; CAS–Nr. 505-60-2), an alkylating warfare agent, has been attributed to DNA alkylation [1], [2], [3]. The same principle holds true for other alkylating compounds such as nitrogen
