  Acknowledgments Introduction Cholesterol is an essential lipid for the development, growth, and wellbeing of humans. In newborn children, cord blood cholesterol concentration is 1.5 mmol/l, on average [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. During the first year of life, cholesterol concentration in serum incre

  2021-05-22

  

  Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a serine protease central to the pathology in a wide range of diseases including chronic wounds, cystic fibrosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (Owen, 2008). Although neutrophil proteases are necessary for completion of wound healing, HNE is secreted in h

  2021-05-22

  

  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

  2021-05-22

  

  Why then is leading-strand DNA synthesis reduced relative to lagging-strand synthesis in rad53-1 mutant Piericidin A mg under replication stress? To gain insight into this question, we first determined whether the firing of late origins in rad53-1 mutant cells contributes to compromised leading-str

  2021-05-22

  

  The presence of external NAD(P)H dehydrogenases (NDE) on the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane enables the mitochondria to oxidize cytosolic NAD(P)H (Moller 2001). A porin (a voltage-dependent anion-selective channel, VDAC) that is abundant in the outer mitochondrial membrane permits

  2021-05-22

  

  Since free testosterone diffuses into a target organ [1], a remarkable increase in free testosterone in plasma is expected to enhance androgen response in target organs including the prostate. In fact, the results of the present study showed testosterone and DHT levels, and mRNA expression levels of

  The distorted geography on the number lines of many pre-service primary teachers in this study also highlights the need to provide them with strong visual models of negative numbers and their ordering. The evidence from Indri's interview is that some standard models of negative numbers (e.g., lendin

  The two SNPs rs4818-rs4680 presented above are part of the haploblock (rs6269, rs4633, rs4818, rs4680) presenting the 3 major haplotypes which influence the enzymatic activity of COMT. This activity is inversely related to the sensitivity of pain in a chronic pain syndrome; so the haplotype (GCGG) h

  2021-05-21

  

  NPC1L1 expression is both tissue- and species-specific. Consistent with its function, NPC1L1 is mainly localized to the brush border membrane of enterocytes and the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. NPC1L1, which is expressed in the liver of humans and rats but not mice, mediates cholesterol cycl

  2021-05-21

  

  Natural progestogens play an important role in the stimulation of oocyte growth and maturation as well as in spermatogenesis and sperm maturation, and they act as sex pheromones in teleost fish (Kime, 1990, Kobayashi et al., 2002, Nagahama and Yamashita, 2008, Scott et al., 2010). A complex series o

  2021-05-21

  

  The genetic asymmetries between parental genomes are also the subject of genetic conflict theory. This concept proposes that paternally inherited imprinted genes “extract” nutrients from the mother during gestation. By contrast, maternally inherited genes counteract the effect of paternal genes (Con

  In addition to providing substantial insight into substrate recognition, structural studies have revealed important details about mechanisms of glycosylation and HCF-1 cleavage [28,30,33]. Activation of the nucleotide-sugar is accomplished through interactions of the β-phosphate with the N-terminus

  2021-05-21

  

  Enolase is an example of a moonlighting protein that displays multiple biological actions, including plasminogen, laminin, fibronectin, mucin and cytokeratin binding properties. It has also been described as a complement-evasion protein and as a protein capable of inducing neutrophil trap formation.
