  Introduction Phoenixin (PNX) is a recently discovered peptide produced mainly in hypothalamus by proteolytic cleavage of a small integral membrane protein 20 (Smim20) [1]. The most important endogenous active isoforms of PNX are amided peptides, composed of 14 and 20 thiotepa [2]. Previous data

  2020-04-13

  

  Celiac disease occurs in the small intestine due to the ingestion of gluten and triggers an immune response by T-cells resulting in tissue remodelling and malnutrition [6]. Earlier studies by many researchers have shown that the prolamins of gluten are the toxic agent for celiac disease, since they

  Furthermore, elastase might not be the only regulator of CBG on cleaved and uncleaved form. In a study by Nenke et al. [85] α1-AT deficient subjects, who lack this native neutrophil elastase inhibitor, paradoxically have higher levels of uncleaved CBG and lower levels of CBG* [85]. Gender differenc

  Because of the lack of sequence, current knowledge on the cellular regulation of CoA-IT is scarce. However, recent work has suggested an interesting new role for CoA-IT in regulating the extent of the AA mobilization response in primed macrophages. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a poor trigge

  Host cell invasion by tachyzoites relies on the secretion of numerous secretory proteins and plays a crucial role in maintaining infection [6]. ESA released by tachyzoites are highly immunogenic and induce either antibody-dependent or cell-mediated protective immunity [11], [44], [45]. To investigat

  We recently employed a functional drug screening approach to identify mithramycin as an inhibitor of EWS–FLI1. In our study, we employed a stepwise approach involving a luciferase primary screen and a novel multiplex PCR screen to evaluate over 50,000 compounds to identify mithramycin as an inhibito

  Results and discussion Conclusions An optimization study of the dipeptidyl enoates was performed by chemical structure modifications (Fig. 5). Compound FGA50 displaying R configuration at C-3 was more active than its epimer FGA40. Two modifications of the chemical structure of FGA50 were done:

  The compounds were ranked based on the Glide XP Score, as shown in . All 15 compounds were subject to a radiometric assay previously used in our lab to evaluate their ability to inhibit DHFR steady-state activity in recombinant TS-DHFR (A). Compound demonstrated greater than 50% inhibition of DHFR a

  2020-04-09

  

  Recently, Schenck et al. [25] identified an active site asparagine 222 (N222) residue in the Glycine max TyrAp/PDH (GmPDH1) that is responsible for its prephenate substrate specificity. Mutating the single N222 into an acidic residue (i.e. aspartate, D) in the legume TyrAp/PDH shifted from prephenat

  Another potential source of variable affinities is inherent in the method of RBA determination. While several reports simply use relative IC50 values as RBAs [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], these are only an approximate measure of relative affinity since IC50 varies due to experimental and biological

  Activatable photoacoustic probes Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a recently developed technique [47]. The imaging approach uses probes that absorb a pulsed laser beam and convert light energy into acoustic signals. It combines the advantages of the high sensitivity offered by optical imaging and th

  Significance Ubl post-translational modifications are potential targets for developing novel therapeutics for life-threatening diseases, such as c-Myc- and KRas-driven cancers that lack targeted therapy. However, only a few drugs are available to target these modifications. This lack of drugs hig

  Conclusion The past few years have witnessed substantial progress in understanding the structural mechanisms of substrate recognition and the reactions catalyzed by the O-GlcNAc-cycling enzymes, but more work remains. In particular, future research will be needed to establish how OGT and OGA inte

  A particularly important system in which Eph-ephrin signaling has been widely studied is neural development, in which downstream signal transduction controls neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation, migration, and survival both during early development and in adulthood (19, 20, 21). Furthermore, Eph-ep
