Inhibition of the activity of pro-inflammatory secretory phospholipase A2 by acute phase proteins

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 1996
Pro-Inflammatory non-pancreatic phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is markedly over-expressed in acute systemic and chronic local inflammatory processes. Since in acute phase reaction sPLA2 is often over-expressed simultaneously with acute phase proteins (APP), it

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Effects of 48-hour feed deprivation on acute-phase response in horses

open access: yesCiência Animal Brasileira, 2022
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of feed restriction on acute-phase response in horses. Twenty horses were deprived of food for 48 h and others 12 animals (control) had free access to water and hay.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Hepatitis C virus core antigen assay: can we think beyond convention in resource limited settings?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013
Hepatitis C virus infects over 15 million patients from India and 2.86 million from Brazil. Detection of anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies has limited sensitivity during acute phase: the pre-seroconversion window period.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Activin A and follistatin: their role in the acute phase reaction and inflammation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Endocrinology, 1999
The activins are a family of proteins which consist of disulphide-linked homodimers and heterodimers of the â subunits of inhibin termed âA and âB. These three proteins, called activin A (âA-âA), activin B (âB-âB) and activin AB (âA-âB), are members of the transforming growth factor â (TGFâ) super-family of proteins (de Kretser & Robertson 1989 ...
