  Continuing studies of endocannabinoid ligands at GPR55 reveal that virodhamine (O-arachidonylethanolamine) and AEA can act as a partial agonists at GPR55; at high micromolar concentrations can inhibit β-arrestin recruitment (Sharir et al., 2012). It is likely that there are allosteric as well as ort

  2022-05-30

  

  TGR5 is a class A GPCR, transducing signal through Gs-protein mediated cAMP accumulation, and was recently reclassified as the founder member of the bile–acid receptor subclass of GPCRs [22]. The cAMP-mediated signaling of TGR5 activation has been implicated in a range of cellular physiological acti

  Hypocotyl development is a crucial phase of early vegetative growth that influences seedling vigor contributing to fitness and productivity of a plant system (Stinchcombe and Schmitt, 2006; Luo et al., 2017). The development of a hypocotyl is characterized by an initial slow growth phase followed by

  Introduction Initially postulated to represent the main source of ATP production in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are recently recognized to perform manifold essential functions beyond energy production, impacting most areas of cell biology and medicine [1]. Mitochondrial metabolism is both the ba

  2022-05-27

  

  Liver and muscle isozymes have been found in vertebrate tissues [2], [5], [6]. The liver FBPase is recognized as a regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis. The muscle isozyme participates in the glycogen synthesis from lactate and in the regulation of glycolysis [7], [8], [9]. The basic difference betw

  PD-1/PD-L1 signaling is critical for the induction of exhausted CD8+ T IL-18, human recombinant protein during the tumor immune response (Barber et al., 2006; Wherry et al., 2007; Wherry and Kurachi,2015; Pauken and Wherry, 2015), but the relationship between PD-1/PD-L1 signaling and Fas/FasL signa

  Anandamide signaling and cardiovascular function The cardiovascular effects of cannabinoid compounds have been known for a long time. Studies in humans indicate that chronic use of marijuana causes long lasting decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, whereas the acute use increases heart rate

  Biochemical properties and post-translational modification of GCAPs GCAPs are hydrophobic proteins that are likely permanently bound to their GC target under physiological conditions [5]. They interact with the photoreceptor GCs through the intracellular domains (reviewed in [17]). GCAP1 has been

  Whilst it has long been appreciated that Rho-family GTPases are able to signal directly to focal adhesions, it is also becoming increasingly clear that they can achieve this indirectly, through their influence on the extracellular matrix to which the integrins bind. Cdc42 and RhoA have long been kno

  2022-05-27

  

  Toc34 and Toc159 are GTPases that regulate initial steps of preprotein import [3,4,26]. It was shown that GTP hydrolysis of at least one receptor is necessary to initiate the translocation process [23,27]. As reported for other small G-proteins, Toc34 and Toc159 bind their cargo in a nucleotide-depe

  Phagocytosis was observed at 60 min after mixing macrophages with microbes (A). The phagocytosis ability (PA) and phagocytosis index (PI) values of the macrophages engulfing the bacteria measured in flow cytometer were shown in histograms (B). Statistical analyses revealed that both the PA and PI va

  Ironically, another series of studies examining the role of EAATs in CNS injury and disease suggest that under some pathological conditions, the operation of the EAATs is not protective, but actually contributes to the excitotoxic process (Rossi et al., 2000). The transporters do so by serving as th
