  The crystal structure of full-length CHK is still unsolved. However, the close homology between CHK and Csk suggests that these kinases share a similar structure. Therefore, the engagement of the CHK SH2–kinase linker with the αC-helix could control the activity of the CHK kinase domain. Sequence al

  Recent studies have shown that the extracellular regulated protein kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1 and ERK2), commonly referred to collectively as ERK 1/2, are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. This family of kinases transport signals from the surface of the cell to the nucleus, th

  It is well established that a number of intracellular signaling pathways mediate sensitization of sensory neurons (Gold and Gebhart, 2010, Richardson and Vasko, 2002). This redundancy could be advantageous since it provides diversity in initiating and maintaining hypersensitivity in response to inju

  2020-02-03

  

  Introduction Prostaglandins are important local mediators in a host of reproductive processes including ovulation, fertilization, embryonic development, luteal regression, and parturition (Ushikubi et al., 2000). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is among the more versatile prostanoids, and its effects app

  2020-02-03

  

  Prostaglandin E receptor subtype 4 (EP4) is a transmembrane G-coupled protein receptor activated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). EP4 activation exerts anti-inflammatory effects in adipose tissue by dampening the levels of inflammatory chemokines [12]. In the mouse, EP4 deficiency aggravates fragmentatio

  Another enzyme class that has emerged as a potential alternative to P450s are the so-called ‘unspecific peroxygenases’ (UPOs). They also contain a heme but are extracellularly expressed fungal enzymes that are often more stable than P450 monooxygenases. Importantly, UPOs use H2O2 instead of O2 as th

  Analytical improvements Since our review of “Oxysterol Metabolomes” in 2011 [7], there have been a number of improvements in analytical methods for the analysis of oxysterols and related compounds. McDonald and colleagues in Dallas have refined their LC-MS methods which are now applicable for ana

  GLP-1 signaling mediates important renal functions [101], as suggested by the expression of both DPP-4 and GLP-1R in the kidney of several species, including humans [102]. However, controversial data exists on the specific expression pattern of these proteins, based on the specificity and sensitivit

  Does a universal mechanism for TLS exist? Our previous studies using the bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase generated the model provided in Fig. 7 that quantifies the molecular forces influencing key steps in the polymerization pathway during the replication of a non-instructional versus miscoding DNA

  P. falciparum DHFR-TS is a particularly important enzyme, because it is from the protozoan species that is associated with most malaria infections. Since this enzyme is responsible for catalyzing sequential reactions in the thymidylate cycle, its inhibition slows malarial dTMP production and therefo

  The DDR2-mediated lysyl oxidase induction in osteoblasts reported here is a novel function for this receptor. Various functions have been reported for DDR2. In an in-vitro study, Zhang and colleagues showed that DDR2 activation leads to Runx2 phosphorylation, which regulates osteoblast differentiat

  Many studies have used paradigms based on animal models to understand human emotional behavior because it appears to be correlated with fear- and anxiety-related defensive patterns in non-human mammals (Blanchard et al., 2001). In this case, defensive reactions are used to study the neural substrate

  Ageing is associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, oxidative stress and oxidative damage [43,44]. Overproduction of ROS can impair endothelial function by suppressing NO synthesis and scavenging NO thereby decreasing its overall bioavailability. Moreover, sustained oxidati
