  2022-09-09

  

  During pain signal transmission, glutamate is released into the synaptic cleft, which, in turn, causes activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and hence neurotransmission across the synapse occurs. The synaptic concentration and resultant activity of glutamate are controlled by excitator

  Glial cells have emerged as important protagonists of the central nervous system (CNS) physiology (Chen and Swanson, 2003; Kettenmann and Verkhratsky, 2008; Parpura and Verkhratsky, 2012). As widely described in the literature, astrocytes regulate glutamatergic synapses by clearance of glutamate in

  2022-09-09

  

  Aβ1-42 oligomers increased ubiquitination of GLT-1 in astrocytes. Previous studies found that astrocytic GLT-1 is internalized from the cell surface by ubiquitination of lysines located in the cytoplasmic C-terminus of the transporter (Gonzalez-Gonzalez et al., 2008, Martinez-Villarreal et al., 2012

  2022-09-09

  

  Transient forebrain ischemia in rodents induces a reduction in expression of mRNA encoding the AMPA receptor subunit GluR265, 66, 67, 68, 69 (Fig. 3). gluR2 mRNA expression is markedly reduced in the CA1 region (the 568 region most vulnerable to ischemia-induced damage), but not in the CA3 region o

  2022-09-09

  

  At the second step, blind docking simulation of 150 independent runs was performed with smaller grid box. Structures of open (1v4t.pdb), semi-closed (4dch.pdb) and two structures of closed configuration of GK (pdb codes are 1v4s and 3vev) were used for simulation (for detailed explanations on can se

  2022-09-09

  

  The findings in this study may represent an example of a more general phenomenon, namely that the exquisite specificity of the G protein-coupled receptors that mediate the physiological actions of the Necrosulfonamide family hormones in mammals may have arisen relatively late in evolution. In non-ma

  2022-09-09

  

  Nicastrin is heavily glycosylated, contributing 40–70KDa to the molecular weight of human γ-secretase. Among the 16 predicted N-linked glycosylation sites in the ECD, 11 have been unambiguously identified. The glycans appear to mostly stabilize the local structure, thus contributing to the folding a

  2022-09-09

  

  Studies regarding γ-secretase nowadays aim at elucidating how APP is recognized and recruited. It has been suggested based on coarse-grained molecular simulation that the recognition and recruitment of substrate can occur on an extended surface covering PS1's TM2/6/9 domains and PAL motif [15]. Tran

  2022-09-09

  

  Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most abundant growth factor in the brain and is critical for neuronal development and synaptic plasticity (Bekinschtein et al., 2008; Lu et al., 2014). Besides playing an important role in mood and cognition, BDNF is also involved in the regulation of

  2022-09-09

  

  We identified three genes—KEAP1, NAA38, and ABCC1/MRP1—as negative regulators of glutathione abundance in human cells. Like KEAP1, NAA38 appears to regulate NRF2 stability, as NAA38 deletion increased NRF2 protein levels and the expression of NRF2 target genes. NAA38 is a component of the NatC N-ter

  2022-09-08

  

  Histamine, which was used as the agonist, had low potencies in our functional experiments when compared to its affinity from binding studies (e.g. Lim et al., 2005). This phenomenon is related to the fact that the coupling of the presynaptic receptor to the transduction machinery and the final funct

  In this study, using the RBD (Byr2)-GST pull-down assay associated with mass spectrometry, we also detected some kinases interacting with Ras-GTP under NO treatment. Among the kinases identified by mass spectrometry, we highlight Ste11 (designated Byr2 in S. pombe), Ste7 (Byr1) and Hog1. Interesting

  2022-09-08

  

  The ketone body receptor HCA2 is most likely not active under normal conditions, since local levels and plasma levels of ketone bodies such as β-HB are too low to activate the receptor. However, overnight fasting or prolonged starvation results in plasma levels of the ketone body in the millimolar r
