  Introduction Isoprenoid structures play an essential role in biology and over 30,000 natural products of this class are known (Greenhagen et al., 2003). Like other animals, insects require these compounds for many disparate processes, including electron transport (e.g., ubiquinones), protein glyc

  Three main mechanisms have been proposed for the secretion of active forms of hedgehog ligands: first, construction of a multimeric molecule with lipid moieties placed on the inside, making a soluble Hh protein which can diffuse from the membrane; second, function of dispatched proteins through pac

  2022-02-08

  

  Importantly, each conformational state in the SRP–SR dimer provides a distinct point of regulation at which these GTPases can directly sense and respond to different biological cues in the pathway. For example, assembly of a stable ‘closed’ complex between SRP and SR is intrinsically very slow (kon

  The urinary levels of 1-OHP among the exposed workers were higher than those reported for a Brazilian group of charcoal workers (0.07 μmol mol creatinine) exposed to wood smoke (Kato et al., 2004), and for nonsmoking bus drivers (0.19 μmol mol creatinine) and nonsmoking mail carriers (0.11 μmol mol

  Compared to methadone or morphine, buprenorphine is a partial mu-opioid agonist, which shows high affinity for, and slow dissociation from, mu-opioid receptors. This maintenance of homeostasis may help to counter the development of an overt withdrawal syndrome, and may explain the lower risk of deve

  First, class II fusion proteins are known to transition from a (homo- or hetero-) pre-fusion dimer to a post-fusion trimer [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], [62] through a monomeric intermediate [63], [64], and a crystalline structure of a monomer of Rift Valley fever virus (a phlebovirus, member of the

  It was previously proposed that glucagon acts in the liver, in which a signal is produced and relayed to the monocarboxylate transporters via vagal nerves [8], [36], [37]. The concept that the liver is the primary target site was supported by the studies reporting that the glucagon receptor is local

  PEPCK This enzyme decarboxylates and then phosphorylates oxaloacetate to form phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the second step of gluconeogenesis after the carboxylation of pyruvate catalyzed by PC. PEPCK1 (PEPCK-C, encoded by the PCK1 gene) and PEPCK2 (PEPCK-M, encoded by the PCK2 gene) are two isof

  Our observation that glioblastoma tumor cells express ETA-R in 6/10 cases contrasts with a recent publication reporting ETB-R expression in these tumors [17]. The reason for the discrepancy between that report and the present study might be due to the fact that glioblastomas with oligodendroglial co

  Recently, a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR109a, was identified as a molecular target for niacin. Mechanistic studies have suggested that the benefits of niacin therapy may result from the activation of GPR109a located on adipocytes. Recent experiments have shown that niacin activation of GPR109a re
