Several DA receptors heteromers with a therapeutic potential
2021-03-09
Several DA receptors heteromers with a therapeutic potential have been described, including D1R/D3R (Fiorentini et al., 2010), but their roles remain to be established. Moreover, most studies on receptor heteromers in addiction focused on the striatum because of its key role in the pathology and its

In summary, these results are consistent with our hypothesis that chemical nitrosation of BMAA to N-BMAA results in the formation of an alkylating agent. Furthermore, we have shown that N-BMAA is more toxic than BMAA itself. Previously, methylazoxymethanol (MAM), which is also present in the cycad n

The overall shape of p110α/iSH2 is dramatically different from DGKB or SK1, instead of forming a homodimer, p110α/iSH2 heterodimer has a triangular shape with iSH2 laying on the top and ABD, RBD, helical and kinase domain of p110α sitting in the bottom (Fig. 2B) (Gabelli et al., 2010; Huang et al.,

2021-03-09
Using characteristic features of ECM proteins and a computational pipeline combining interrogation of protein and gene databases, we previously defined the matrisome as the ensemble of ECM and ECM-associated proteins [[16], [17], [18]]. In mammals, the matrisome represents 4% of the genome, or appro

Thus, the understanding of the various mechanisms of action of estrogen and SERMs is an important medical challenge and could help to develop an “ideal” SERM, preserving the beneficial effects of estrogen in the bone and urogenital system, and reducing the unwanted side effects, mainly increased ris

Halogenases Enzymatic C–H activation leading to halogenation is another emerging area in biocatalysis [55,56]. Incorporation of halogen atoms during medicinal chemistry eff ;orts is a well-established practice, presenting an effective means to control the molecule’s bioactivity and physicochemical

First of all, it should be emphasized that, although cPLA2α manifests a marked selectivity for phospholipids that contain AA at the sn-2 position, this does not mean in any way that, in cells, the enzyme cannot hydrolyze other fatty acyl residues to a significant extent even if this occurs at a lowe

E1 protein expressed in a plasmid encoding codon-optimized canine oral papillomavirus (COPV) led to therapeutic immunization of COPV-infected Beagle dogs [25], [26], which was better than that achieved with plasmids encoding E2 or E7 COPV. Moreover, E1 and E2 from cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (C

To explore the mechanism behind differential activation kinetics, Marcott et al. (2018) manipulate local dopamine dynamics. They show that differences in dopamine concentrations are not responsible for different D2R activation kinetics, since D2-IPSCs reach similar amplitudes at different rates in N

Previous studies reported that combined administration of licorice/GL and TWHF/TP showed reduced toxicity and equal or even potentiated therapeutic efficacy when treating arthritis (YS et al., 2006, YS et al., 2008, Zhang et al., 2007). Our findings that GL reduced exposure to TP in rats confirmed t

2021-03-08
The cyclin-dependent kinase deactivation is carried out by a particular group of proteins cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs). These group of proteins blocks kinase activity by interfering with the interaction of cyclin-CDK complex [43]. The inhibition of CDK naturally occurs during a G1 phas
