Altered chemomechanical coupling causes impaired motility of the kinesin-4 motors KIF27 and KIF7. [PDF]
, 2018 Kinesin-4 motors play important roles in cell division, microtubule organization, and signaling. Understanding how motors perform their functions requires an understanding of their mechanochemical and motility properties.

Ischemic preconditioning attenuates portal venous plasma concentrations of purines following warm liver ischemia in man [PDF]
, 2005 Background/Aims: Degradation of adenine nucleotides to adenosine has been suggested to play a critical role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Thus, we questioned in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy whether (i) IPC will increase plasma purine ...

Phosphoproteins and protein-kinase activity in isolated envelopes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts [PDF]
, 1985 A protein kinase was found in envelope membranes of purified pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. Separation of the two envelope membranes showed that most of the enzyme activity was localized in the outer envelope.

Extracellular ATP released by osteoblasts is a key local inhibitor of bone mineralisation [PDF]
, 2013 Previous studies have shown that exogenous ATP (>1µM) prevents bone formation in vitro by blocking mineralisation of the collagenous matrix. This effect is thought to be mediated via both P2 receptor-dependent pathways and a receptor-independent ...

Potentiation of thrombus instability: a contributory mechanism to the effectiveness of antithrombotic medications [PDF]
, 2018 © The Author(s) 2018The stability of an arterial thrombus, determined by its structure and ability to resist endogenous fibrinolysis, is a major determinant of the extent of infarction that results from coronary or cerebrovascular thrombosis.

Adenosine diphosphate and the measurement of platelet adhesiveness [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1967 Platelet adhesiveness to glass beads was measured in citrated blood at intervals up to two hours after the addition of adenosine diphosphate (A.D.P.). Adhesiveness increased for 15 minutes, fell towards the original level, and then steadily increased.

Adenosine diphosphate inhibits the serotonin transporter
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1996 Adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) caused rapid and significant reductions in the rates of [3H]serotonin uptake observed for human platelets, human platelet vesicles, and rat brain synaptic vesicles. Estimated Vmax values in platelets (N = 15). platelet vesicles (N = 3), and synaptic vesicles (N = 3) exposed to 100 microM ADP were 42.3 +/- 11.4%, 78.8 ...
