Extracellular Adenosine Diphosphate Ribose Mobilizes Intracellular Ca2+ via Purinergic-Dependent Ca2+ Pathways in Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Background/Aims: Adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), a product of β-NAD+ metabolism generated by the multifunctional enzyme CD38, is recognized as a novel signaling molecule. The catalytic site of CD38 orients extracellularly or intracellularly, capable

PARP inhibition and immune modulation: scientific rationale and perspectives for the treatment of gynecologic cancers

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology, 2020
Poly[adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribose]polymerase (PARP) has multifaceted roles in the maintenance of genomic integrity, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair and replication, and the maintenance of immune-system homeostasis.

Review of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Pathogenic Variants in GFPT1

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) catalyzes the first and rate‐limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to generate UDP‐GlcNAc. GFPT1 exon 9 is specifically spliced in in striated muscles, which makes a long isoform of GFPT1 (GFPT1‐L).

The plant Nudix hydrolase family. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Nudix hydrolases are a family of proteins defined by a conserved amino-acid sequence GX(5)-EX(7)REUXEEXGU, where U is a hydrophobic residue. These enzymes are widely distributed among all classes of organisms and catalyze, with varying degrees of ...

Rapid Synthetic Route toward Structurally Modified Derivatives of Cyclic Adenosine 5‘-Diphosphate Ribose

open access: yes, 2016
A concise synthesis of five new analogues of the second messenger cADPR (cyclic adenosine 5‘-diphosphate ribose) is presented. The synthetic plan centered around the key derivative 8-Br-N1-cIDPR (cyclic 8-Br-inosine 5‘-diphosphate ribose, 2), which was ...

Host cell poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase is crucial for Trypanosoma cruzi infection cycle. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Trypanosoma cruzi, etiological agent of Chagas' disease, has a complex life cycle which involves the invasion of mammalian host cells, differentiation and intracellular replication. Here we report the first insights into the biological role of a poly(ADP-

RAD51AP1 and RAD54L Can Underpin Two Distinct RAD51-Dependent Routes of DNA Damage Repair via Homologous Recombination

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Homologous recombination DNA repair (HR) is a complex DNA damage repair pathway and an attractive target of inhibition in anti-cancer therapy. To help guide the development of efficient HR inhibitors, it is critical to identify compensatory HR sub ...

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora
