A comparison between tinnitus and controls
2021-07-28
A comparison between tinnitus and controls subjects showed increased activity in the left AUD and PHC for the gamma frequency band. The link between gamma band activity in the AUD and tinnitus has been identified using both EEG (van der Loo et al., 2009) and MEG (Weisz et al., 2005, 2007). This is s

2021-07-27
Through the process of alternative splicing, the IKZF1 gene is capable of encoding a large number of Ikaros isoforms (Molnar et al., 1996). Some of these isoforms were shown to have distinct functions (Li et al., 2011, Ronni et al., 2007). Ikaros protein contains four zinc fingers at the N-terminus

Protein kinase casein kinase 1 (CK1) comprises a family of highly related, constitutively active serine/threonine protein kinases (reviewed by [15]). CK1 is involved in controlling a wide variety of different cellular events including protein turnover [16], [17], nuclear import [18] and the cellular

Measurement of Chol absorption, synthesis and catabolism would be very helpful to determine the underlying cause of hypercholesterolemia in individual patients at risk for atherosclerosis. The information could help to determine the best therapeutic approach to reduce Chol absorption, to reduce Chol

The ERRα gene lacks the typical TATA and CAAT boxes, but has multiple consensus Sp1 binding elements in the GC-rich promoter (Shi et al., 1997). Previously, our laboratory has shown that ERRα expression is upregulated in the mouse uterus by estrogen (Shigeta et al., 1997) and recently we identified

2021-07-27
Enlarging the ligand-binding pocket by reduction of the size of the residue F435 switched DES to an agonist indicating that F435 is involved in mediating the antagonistic effect of DES (Fig. 7E) [13]. The conformation of the smaller side chain of L435 was either not altered by DES or was too small t

Results Discussion Oxysterols and EBI2 have received growing attention in the field of immunology, with works highlighting an important role for EBI2 in immune cell migration. However, these studies are mainly limited to animal models (Chalmin et al., 2015, Hannedouche et al., 2011, Kelly et a

Based on the SUMO–SIM interaction involved in SUMOD positioning, a SUMO2ΔSBD (SIM-binding domain; Q30A, F31A, I33A) mutant can be investigated that disrupts this important binding interface (Eisenhardt et al., 2015; Meulmeester, Kunze, Hsiao, Urlaub, & Melchior, 2008). In Fig. 4A, multiturnover assa

To study the role of DNA–PK in the response to replication arrest, we used the DNA replication inhibitor aphidicolin (APH). APH, a mycotoxin isolated from Cephalosporium aphidicola, inhibits DNA replication by interacting with the replicating DNA polymerase α (pol α). APH specifically inhibits the a

Effect of a C4-C5 double bond — The presence of a double bond at the substrate’s C4-C5 position affects the reactivity of Δ1-KSTDs to varying extent, depending on the enzyme. Most 3-ketosteroids that are converted by Δ1- KSTDs have this double bond. For some Δ1-KSTDs this double bond is even require

DDR2 is characterized by an N-terminal discoidin domain and a C-terminal kinase domain [7]. Characteristics of DDR1, which is a homologue of DDR2, have been extensively investigated in terms of expression level in cancer tissues and biological functions in normal and cancer cell conditions, but char

Global inhibition of integrin signaling with EDTA here suggests that integrin signaling potentially cooperates with DDR2 in collagen induction of lysyl oxidase. This notion is supported by a recent study that shows DDR2 cooperation with specific integrins in cell adhesion to collagen [47]. It is of

In addition to through direct regulation of cell differentiation, DDR2 may raise the abundance of myofibroblast subsets through advancing the recruitment of its precursor cells. One such evidence is that DDR2 can regulate lung fibroblast proliferation and migration. Another possibility rests on the
