Adenosine-mediated modulation of ventral horn interneurons and spinal motoneurons in neonatal mice [PDF]
, 2015 The authors are grateful for support from the Wellcome Trust.Neuromodulation allows neural networks to adapt to varying environmental and biomechanical demands. Purinergic signalling is known to be an important modulatory system in many parts of the CNS,

The dynamics of single spike-evoked adenosine release in the cerebellum [PDF]
, 2011 The purine adenosine is a potent neuromodulator in the brain, with roles in a number of diverse physiological and pathological processes. Modulators such as adenosine are difficult to study as once released they have a diffuse action (which can affect ...

ATP11C mutation is responsible for the defect in phosphatidylserine uptake in UPS-1 cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 2015 Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) translocate phospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflets of cellular membranes. We and others previously showed that ATP11C, a member of the P4-ATPases, translocates phosphatidylserine (PS) at the ...

Protective effect of rutin in comparison to silymarin against induced hepatotoxicity in rats [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2017 Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of rutin (RTN) in comparison to silymarin (SLM) against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar albino rats (n=24) of 3 months age were

A depletable pool of adenosine in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus [PDF]
, 2001 Adenosine plays a major modulatory and neuroprotective role in the mammalian CNS. During cerebral metabolic stress, such as hypoxia or ischemia, the increase in extracellular adenosine inhibits excitatory synaptic transmission onto vulnerable neurons via

In Favor of Establishment: Regulation of Chromatid Cohesion in Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 In eukaryotic organisms, the correct regulation of sister chromatid cohesion, whereby sister chromatids are paired and held together, is essential for accurate segregation of the sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes into daughter cells during ...

Role of cGMP as second messenger of adenosine in the inhibition of renin release [PDF]
, 1988 Adenosine is known to be a potent inhibitor of renin release from the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the transmembrane signalling avenue that the second messenger of adenosine causes inhibition of renal renin release.

Clathrin coat controls synaptic vesicle acidification by blocking vacuolar ATPase activity
eLife, 2018 Newly-formed synaptic vesicles (SVs) are rapidly acidified by vacuolar adenosine triphosphatases (vATPases), generating a proton electrochemical gradient that drives neurotransmitter loading.

MgATP-induced inhibition of the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the chloroform-released mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1981 1. Preincubation of the ox heart chloroform-released mitochondrial ATPase with MgATP results in a time-dependent inhibition of ATPase activity. No re-activation occurs when MgATP remains in the preincubation medium. The enzyme activity returns when all the MgATP in the preincubation system has been hydrolysed. 2.
