  Introduction Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation from the sun injures human skin, which might lead to premature aging and skin pathologies [1], [2]. Chronic exposure to UV (especially ultraviolet-B, UVB) irradiation could profoundly affect the skin epidermis, interfering with the ker

• The importance of EBI for B cell

  2019-07-23

  

  The importance of EBI2 for B cell function was first suggested by the dramatic upregulation of this receptor in EBV-transformed CGRP (rat) solubility and further inferred from its regulation in activated and GC B cells (Birkenbach et al., 1993, Glynne et al., 2000, Shaffer et al., 2000). An involvem

  Acknowledgments Introduction Ubiquitin ligases limit the stability and activity of substrates by targeting them for proteasomal-dependent degradation. Siah is a two-member family of ubiquitin ligases implicated in control of key cellular processes. Among those, Siah ligases control prolyl hydr

  2019-07-23

  

  Cellular immune responses, such as phagocytosis and apoptosis, are very important processes to eradicate the invading pathogens and reduce concomitant host damage. And all of these processes are fine-tuned by the ubiquitin system (Li et al., 2016). Phagocytosis is a major mechanism of cellular immun

  2019-07-23

  

  Since both the Ub and ISG15 systems are crucial for the innate immune response, many prokaryotic and viral pathogens have evolved ways to hijack them in order to create a “window-of-opportunity” for efficient replication. Several viral and bacterial proteins have been found to directly target these

  Introduction Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder that raises blood glucose level for a prolonged time. T2DM is associated with acute complications like ketoacidosis, hyposmolar coma, chronic complications include heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, foot ulcers and damage to

  2019-07-22

  

  Current therapeutic protocols in OS and ES consist of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and local surgical resection, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. These treatments lead to a 70% overall survival for localized disease but can decrease to 15% in case of metastasis. With CS being resistant to conventional

  2019-07-22

  

  The interaction of EPAC2 with Rim1 has an important role in regulating neurotransmitter release. In addition, a recent EPAC2 knockout mice model study provides evidence that EPAC2 promotes transmitter release by maintaining the readily releasable pool (RRP) at mossy fiber (MF) synapses in the hippoc

  Related with the studies by Zizza et al. described above [66], work by Ward et al. [68] suggested that the C2 domain of cPLA2α, which binds to zwitterionic membranes with high affinity in a Ca2+-dependent manner, has a high membrane remodeling activity, producing dramatic changes in membrane curvatu

  Repulsive interactions towards undesirable substrates are arguably a very efficient means to implement specificity [8]. In particular, it could be assumed that discrimination against a substrate that is larger than the cognate substrate may be achieved easily by restricting the active site and explo

  A wealth of studies support the key role of high NO in promoting higher blood flow and thus greater O2 delivery to working tissues in healthy Tibetans and thus partly compensate hypoxia induced low arterial O2 content [7,9,27]. We observed high eNOS mRNA, protein and enzyme activity in Ladakhi women

  Introduction The discoidin domain receptors (DDRs), DDR1 and DDR2, are unique among the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in being activated by interaction with the extracellular matrix [1], [2]. Binding to triple-helical collagen is mediated by the receptor extracellular domains that include an

  Arsenic could cause apoptosis in both benign and malignant cells (Akao et al., 2000, Gupta et al., 2003, Namgung and Xia, 2001). However, at present, little is known about the consequences of arsenic-treated urothelial cells in autophagy and expression of its related proteins. In addition, the alter

  CysLTs trigger contractile and inflammatory processes through the specific interaction with cell surface receptors belonging to the rhodopsin family of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) genes. Until now, two receptor subtypes have been cloned, namely CysLT1 and CysLT2[8]. In particular, when the
