  2020-02-05

  

  Introduction O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA-repair enzyme that specifically transfers alkyl adducts from the O6 position of guanine to the cysteine residue (Cys145) in its active site. In cancer cells, this ability of MGMT disrupts the cytotoxic actions of alkylating antic

  2020-02-05

  

  Oxidation of N-hydroxyguanidine 1 by DbH was studied by HPLC and some oxidation products for 1 could be characterized. The compounds generally observed with iron-containing systems are 4-methoxyphenylurea 11 and 4-methoxyphenylcyanamide 12 (Fig. 2). Oxidation of N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N′-hydroxyguanidin

  2020-02-05

  

  ATP-dependent DNA ligases in vertebrates are divided in three families [7]. Family I DNA ligases are responsible for sealing the nicks during DNA replication and in long-patch base excision repair (BER). Family III DNA ligases are involved in short-patch BER. Lastly, family IV DNA ligases are involv

  2020-02-05

  

  The two isoforms LDH-A and LDH-B catalyze the same reaction, conversion of pyruvate to lactate at the end of glycolysis. LDH-A is expressed in the liver. Humans with a hereditary deficiency of the A or B LDH isoforms are free of symptoms, except for muscle rigidity and myoglobinuria following strenu

  Deregulation of CDK5 Many neurotoxic or stress conditions like ischemic 17 aag damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunctions, excitotoxicity, Aβ exposure lead to disruption of the tight regulation of Cdk5 (De Strooper et al., 2010). Calpain-mediated cleavage of p35 to p25 is activated unde

  2020-02-05

  

  The structure of the HOIP RBR–LDD module bound to UbcH5~Ub reveals insights into an activated HOIP component [47]. Contacts between the E2~Ub and the non-cognate RBR module in the crystal suggest how a structure in which the active sites of the E2 and the E3 are in close proximity might look. In thi

  2020-02-05

  

  Expression of MGMT in human (+)-Usniacin can be switched off by enzymatic methylation of a cytosine residue in the MGMT promoter sequence. In this regard, both MGMT and the mismatch repair function MLH1 belong to a subset of DNA repair genes that are subjected to epigenetic control. In consequence,

  2020-02-04

  

  Cyclosporine (NEORAL® Oral Solution, Novartis) is an immunosuppressant widely used in organ transplantation and many other clinical conditions [12]. It undergoes extensive hepatic and intestinal biotransformation mainly via the metabolizing enzyme, CYP3A4 [[12], [13], [14], [15]]. Considering the na

  2020-02-04

  

  During the host response to inflammation, inflammatory mediators, including release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, have been associated with altered content, expression, and activity of CYP450 enzymes, consequently leading to alterations in the metabolism and elimination of certain drugs. The losses

  2020-02-04

  

  These studies established IAP proteins as dimeric RING E3 ligases, but did not account for the essential role of dimerization. In IAPs and related E3s, such as RNF4 and MDM2, dimerization not only depends on contacts from the core RING domain but also residues N- and C-terminal to the RING domain (B

  Tailoring pharmacological treatment to the genetic background of a person can enhance therapeutic response (), increase compliance (), and decrease drug toxicity (, , ). Because cocaine addiction has a strong genetic basis, with the vulnerability to develop an addiction estimated to be as high as 72

  Here we uncover a highly diverse superfamily of self-replicating MGEs, dubbed pipolins, which are present in three major bacterial phyla, as well as in mitochondria, and encode divergent PolB carrying TPR1 and TPR2 subdomains. Biochemical characterization of a representative enzyme encoded by a pipo

  To date, the role of CRF and CRF1+ neurons within the amygdala in the expression of anxiety-like behavior and conditioned fear, and the place where these cell populations fit into the fear-related microcircuitry already identified in the CeA, have not been fully characterized. Recent evidence suppor

  We further verified the presence of CLIC1, CLIC4 and CLIC5 in purified mitochondria following protocols described earlier (Singh et al., 2012). As shown in Fig. 4, CLIC4 and CLIC5 were present in the ultra-pure mitochondrial fraction (M3). All the three fractions obtained from 30% (v/v) Percoll grad

  Estrogens: Definition and history The term “estrogens” refers to a group of female hormones, including estrone, estradiol, estriol, and estretrol (Fig. 1). Chemically, estrogens belong to the family of organic compounds known as steroids. As such, their core structure is composed of 17 carbon-carbo
