Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists as analgesic drugs in equine medicine

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Managing pain in horses is challenging despite the availability of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, local anaesthetics, opioids and α2‐adrenoreceptor agonists. While α2‐agonists are widely used for sedation and restraint, their analgesic properties remain underutilised.

Elevated intracellular cAMP exacerbates vulnerability to oxidative stress in optic nerve head astrocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, but the underlying biological basis for the accompanying neurodegeneration is not known.

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

On the roles of Mg in the activation of G proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this review, we highlight the evolution of our knowledge about the way Mg2+ participates in the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins, beginning with its requirement in hormonal stimulation of fat cell adenylyl cyclase (1969) and ending with ...

Structural analysis of the NifL‐NifA complex reveals the molecular basis of anti‐activation of nitrogen fixation gene expression in Azotobacter vinelandii

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using cryo‐EM combined with biochemical and genetic approaches, we mapped the interaction surface between NifL and NifA to gain insights into the regulation of nitrogen fixation genes in A. vinelandii. Our findings suggest that NifL, a homolog of histidine kinases lacking phosphorylation activity, evolved to act as a steric block of NifA activity ...

Resistin and adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) regulate the expression of genes related to insulin resistance in BNL CL.2 mouse liver cells

open access: yesData in Brief, 2019
Resistin is an adipokine produced in white adipose tissue that is thought to modulate insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues (such as liver, skeletal muscle or adipose tissue). Human and murine resistin molecules share only about 60% sequence homology.

Activity of Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterases and Adenylyl Cyclase in Peripheral Nerve after Crush and Permanent Transection Injuries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Recent studies demonstrate that cAMP levels are tightly controlled during demyelination and remyelination in Schwann cells as cAMP decreases to 8–10% of normal following both sciatic nerve crush or permanent transection injury and only begins to increase

The importin‐alpha superfamily engages in ethylene signaling by shuttling ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 2 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The plant hormone ethylene regulates plant growth, ripening, senescence, and stress responses. The hormonal signal transmission, from receptors at the ER membrane to the transcriptional regulators in the nucleus, is still not completely understood.

An entropy based heuristic model for predicting functional sub-type divisions of protein families [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Multiple sequence alignments of protein families are often used for locating residues that are widely apart in the sequence, which are considered as influential for determining functional specificity of proteins towards various substrates, ligands, DNA ...

Unlocking nitrogen regulation: structural insights into the NifL‐NifA complex and prospects for engineered diazotrophs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The urgent need for sustainable agriculture places biological nitrogen fixation at the forefront of current biotechnological research. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria play crucial roles in agriculture by enhancing nutrient absorption, regulating hormonal balance, and providing reduced nitrogen to plants. Among these, diazotrophic bacteria, such as
