  Immunomodulation effects of certain oxysterols were previously shown to depend on activation of oxysterol-binding liver X receptors (LXRs). Recent work from our labs as well as from others has shown additional receptors linking oxysterols and immunity. For example, we found that 7α,25-dihydroxychole

  Conclusions Acknowledgment Introduction The role of cholesterol metabolism during multiple sclerosis (MS) is debated and the underlying physiopathology largely unknown. Dyslipidaemia is associated with worsening inflammatory activity and MS disease progression [1], [2], [3]. In the mouse mo

  Poxviruses have double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes, yet they replicate within the cytoplasm. Poxviruses that cause human disease include monkeypox virus (Reynolds et al., 2004), molluscum contagiosum virus (Hanson and Diven, 2003) and variola virus (VARV), the cause of smallpox, a disease eradicate

  2020-10-05

  

  The binding of collagen X to DDR2 differs from the binding of collagen X to α2β1 integrin in that the triple helical conformation is essential for DDR2 binding. We previously reported that heat denatured pepsinised collagen X supported cell adhesion via α2β1, indicating that the triple-helical confo

  A related, cell-based approach was used to test the functionality of the various HIV Rev fusions, but in a trans-complementation assay using 293T producers transfected with both VSV G and a Rev-deficient HIV reporter vector encoding both FFLUC and bsd (Fig. 2C). As expected, the non-fused, full-leng

  In human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y HS-173 and in lymphoma Jurkat cells, Yamanaka et al. [56] showed that exogenously added 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol could be efficiently esterified by ACAT1. These results suggest that both ACAT1 and ACAT2 can control the oxysterol levels by directly esterifying them, in

  Experimental procedures Acknowledgments Introduction Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) control many fundamental cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and metabolism (Lemmon and Schlessinger, 2010). RTK activity is normally tightly controlled, and dysregu

  In order to further understand the biological significance of cell-collagen X interactions, we have examined the possibilities of involvement of other collagen receptors in cell binding to collagen X. The present study demonstrates that collagen X is a ligand for DDR2. DDR2 has been observed to bind

  Among the ~Ub interactions observed in the HOIP structure is one that involves a RING2 domain (from the non-cognate HOIP) [47]. A similar binding interaction was defined between HHARI RING2 and the hydrophobic patch on Ub by NMR [54]. HHARI RING2 mutations that ablate the interaction inhibit formati

  While SCF E3 ligase activity was reconstituted with recombinant proteins two decades ago, the ability to probe APC/C was limited until recently because of its behemoth size. Human APC/C is a 1.2-MDa assembly comprised of 19 core subunits (one each of nine different APC subunits, and two each of five

  Multi-subunit RINGs There are RING-type E3s that exist as multi-subunit assemblies (see Fig. 3B). A striking example is the Cullin RING Ligase (CRL) superfamily [35], which exhibits enormous plasticity in substrate specificity. Each CRL subfamily is characterized by a cullin protein (Cul-1, 2, 3,

  In general, cellular senescence is considered a programmed response to stress that can be activated by oxidative stress, irradiation or action of substances or drugs. These stressors cause DNA damage and, through the action of specific proteins (p53 and p21), lead to cell senescence (di Fagagna, 200

  Contrary to the profuse dopaminergic innervation of the thalamus found in human and non-human primates (Brown et al., 1979, Sanchez-Gonzalez et al., 2005), in rodents, the RTn is one the few thalamic nuclei that receives dopaminergic input (Anaya-Martinez et al., 2006, Garcia-Cabezas et al., 2007, G

  Family and twin studies have estimated the heritability of obesity to be between 40 and 70% [5], [6], [7]. However, all known risk variants can only account for ∼3% of the variance in BMI [8], [9]. Therefore, alternate methods are needed to identify additional risk factors. In recent decades, Drosop
