  For the current studies, we used the selective Epac agonist 8CPT-AM to directly activate the proteins. We chose this pharmacological approach since it allows a direct activation of Epacs rather than using receptor agonists such as PGE2 which could introduce confounding variables. One potential conce

  EC barrier dysfunction triggered by inflammatory mediators involves more than one mechanism, explaining the partial attenuation of EC barrier compromise obtained with PKA and Epac activators. PKA-dependent phosphorylation of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) has been shown to make a posit

  2020-11-20

  

  The growth inhibitory effect of PGE2 has been linked to the ability of Gs coupled PGE2 receptors EP2 and EP4 to mediate elevation of cAMP [22], [23]. Evidence suggests that this mechanism may not be the key cause of growth inhibition [24]. In various cell types, EP4 receptor has been shown to utiliz

  Nrf2 and HO-1 are key factors in the regulation of oxidative stress in the body. Research has shown that KLF2 can activate Nrf2 and HO-1 [14]. To investigate the mechanisms by which KLF2 regulates eNOS uncoupling and oxidative stress, Nrf2 was inhibited or HO-1 was knocked down in KLF2 overexpressin

  2020-11-20

  

  Our results demonstrated that ET-1, a Wnt ligand, stimulated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. First, ET-1/ETRA binds to Frizzled family cell-surface receptors, resulting in the activation of Dvl1, a Dishevelled (DSH) family protein. Next, activated DSH inhibits the Axin, GSK-3β, and APC protein

  Enolases are among the most abundantly expressed cytosolic proteins. They are metalloenzymes that catalyze the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate [18]. Eubacteria and archaebacteria have a single enolase gene (reviewed in [19]). Despite the lack of signal peptides or cognate pro

  The different serotypes (A-G) have unique receptors to which they bind to produce the toxic effect on the nerve cells. (Lance, 2004, Rosetto et al., 2014). Intracellularly, the endopeptidase activity of different serotypes of BoNT target selectively a unique group of proteins, the SNARE SGC-CBP30 (

  We also identified Ubc13 as a functional E2 for LNX1 and determined the complex structure of LNX1–Ubc13~Ub, which depicts the first step of the ubiquitination process (Fig. 3a.). Comparing structural alignment of the RNF4 RING: Ubc13~Ub: Ube2V2 complex (PDB code 5AIU) [33] and the RNF4:Ubc13~Ub comp

  Due to the high attractiveness of E2 and E3 ligases as drug targets, a number of drug discovery assays have been published, based on detection by fluorescence (Dudgeon et al., 2010, Krist et al., 2016, Zhang et al., 2004), Fomepizole (Davydov et al., 2004, Huang et al., 2005, Kenten et al., 2005, Ma

  The goal of studying RvE1 in goblet 2 nbdg is to determine if it may be used to preserve ocular surface homeostasis and as a treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases. We found that RvE1 increased glycoconjugate secretion after 2 h, not at 4 h. This suggests that RvE1 has a short, but potent, action

  The pseudo DUBs KIAA0157 and Abraxas are required for the catalytic function of BRCC36. Comparison of the BRCC36–KIAA0157 heterodimer structure with an inactive BRCC36 homodimer structure provides a model for understanding how this functional interplay is achieved. As shown in schematic form in Figu

  cGAS has a central role in STING activation after DNA sensing, but it is unknown if most of the DNA sensors act independently or in cooperation with the cGAS-cGAMP pathway. This was addressed for IFI16 (Almine et al., 2017, Jønsson et al., 2017) and PQBP1 (Yoh et al., 2015) but remains to be tested
