  2019-10-07

  

  The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand regulated transcription factors has proven to be a rich source of targets for the development of therapeutics for a wide range of human diseases. The NR3B subfamily known as the estrogen-related receptor (ERRα[NR3B1], ERRβ[NR3B2] and ERRγ[NR3B3]) regul

  Structure and function of EPAC isoforms EPACs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Ras-like GTPases Rap1 and Rap2 [9]. There are two mammalian EPAC isoforms, EPAC1 and EPAC2 1, 2 (Figure 1). Whereas EPAC1 displays a wide tissue distribution, the expression of EPAC2 is more restr

  2019-10-05

  

  DNA-bound Ku proteins recruit DNA-PKcs; and thereby translocate into the duplex by one helical turn, leaving DNA-PKcs near the DNA terminus to assist in tethering the broken ends together [25]. In addition to keeping the DSBs in close proximity, DNA-PKcs may prevent exonucleolytic degradation of the

  2019-10-05

  

  Almost 75% of drugs in the market undergo deactivation though oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, and then, either directly or by facilitated excretion from the body (Guengerich, 2008). The CYP3A subfamily is of particular interest because of its broad substrate spec

  Some studies have demonstrated that BMSCs can provide several trophic and growth factors that play important roles in cell survival, angiogenesis, and BMSC differentiation, but not cell replacement (Peled et al., 1999, Shen et al., 2007, Ji et al., 2004). This paracrine effect of BMSCs is a potentia

  Furthermore, collagen could be further utilized to surface modification of biologically inert materials, such as polymer materials and metal materials, which are always hydrophobic, lacking functional groups and poor cell adhesion. Therefore, various strategies have been tested to improve the proper

  As the primary model we selected LDL-receptor knockout mice because these resemble the human plasma lipoprotein profile more closely. Currently, genetic models with reduced milk cholesterol content, which mimic cholesterol-free formula feeding, are unavailable. Thus, instead of modifying milk choles

  In our opinion, the precise function of AE of S. mansoni (Sm32) remains unclear, and accurate knowledge of the three dimensional structure of this enzyme would be valuable for a better understanding the molecular basis of many of its properties, including its role in the host-parasite interaction, a

  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

  Introduction DHFR is an important enzyme in both mammals and microorganism including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). It catalyzes folic NPPB conversion to dihydro and tetrahydro folic acid which is a crucial step in folate pathway [1]. Inhibition of folate pathway leads to interruption of thymid

  The mechanism by which OC use leads to impaired glucose tolerance is yet to be fully clarified. Decreased insulin sensitivity appears to be mainly accounted for by estrogenic component and this effect may be modified by progestogenic component [14], [15]. Estrogenic effect on glucose tolerance has b
