  2020-04-30

  

  In humans, individual differences in prefrontal dopamine are partially caused by the Val158Met single-nucleotide polymorphism on the catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (COMT). This gene controls activity of the COMT enzyme, which degrades extracellular catecholamines including dopamine. The Val varia

  Most reported binding data are obtained by performing heterologous competition binding experiments and expressing the results as relative binding affinity (RBA). The constructed binding curves should theoretically be sigmoidal in shape with a Hill slope value of one, for a single ligand binding to

  So far, several important flovonoids and polyphenoilc compounds were subjected to various human studies regarding their potential therapeutic and adverse effects (Ide et al., 2014; Turner et al., 2015; Witte et al., 2014) (Table 1).

  In conclusion, our findings suggested that EP4 receptor activation triggers apoptosis in B-cell lymphoblasts. Our results also showed that EP4 receptor engagement inactivates NF-κB, which, in turn, sensitizes Ramos monoamine transporter to apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic agents. EP4 receptor

  Importantly, MPO is not only a marker of cardiovascular disease but also emerges as a critical mediator of vascular inflammatory disease: Liberated MPO binds to the endothelium in a leukocyte-independent manner, is subsequently taken up by the endothelium and transcytoses and accumulates in the sube

  As mentioned above, EBI2 and its ligand show some similarities to the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P-receptor system, which mediates T cell egress from lymph nodes. Blockade of this system yielded in the first oral drug for MS patients named fingolimod. Therefore, the hope that EBI2 deficiency wo

  Results Discussion Oxysterols and EBI2 have received growing attention in the field of immunology, with works highlighting an important role for EBI2 in immune cell migration. However, these studies are mainly limited to animal models (Chalmin et al., 2015, Hannedouche et al., 2011, Kelly et a

  A prominent example of such enzyme is the proteasome, a highly promising target not only in cancer, but also in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Circulating proteasomes and respective anti-proteasome autoantibodies were detected in serum samples from patients with autoimmune diseases such as mu

  2020-04-30

  

  The modification of proteins with the small 76-amino Dehydroandrographolide protein ubiquitin (Ub) plays a central role in many key cellular processes. Ubiquitylation of a target protein requires the concerted action of a cascade of three enzymes (Figure 1). The ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) cata

  One of the critical functions of the product of the AR gene is to activate the expression of target genes. This transactivation activity resides in the N-terminal domain of the protein encoded in exon 1, which contains polymorphic repeats. These trinucleotide repeats, (CAG) and (GGC), encode polyglu

  Collagens as new drivers of zebrafish tissue regeneration Contrary to mammals, zebrafish possess very high regeneration capacities and thereby represent a versatile model to study tissue and organ regeneration. Adult fish can fully reconstruct their brain, spinal cord, retina, kidney, liver, panc

  Phylogenetic analysis indicates that in poikilothermic vertebrates CXCR3a and CXCR3b have evolved independently from a common gene possibly after the 2nd round whole genome duplication but before the split of bony fish and tetrapods (Fig. 1 and Supplementary file 3). Owing to the extra round of whol
