Toxins, 2019 Myeloid phagocytes have evolved to rapidly recognize invading pathogens and clear them through opsonophagocytic killing. The adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) of Bordetella pertussis and the edema toxin (ET) of Bacillus anthracis are both calmodulin ...

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a

Mediators of Inflammation, 1993 Alveolar macrophages have recently been postulated as being involved in the aetiology of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To evaluate their role, basal cyclic AMP levels and responsiveness of adenylyl cyclase alveolar macrophages were ...

The role of mislocalized phototransduction in photoreceptor cell death of retinitis pigmentosa.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Most of inherited retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) cause photoreceptor cell death resulting in blindness. RP is a large family of diseases in which the photoreceptor cell death can be caused by a number of pathways.

Treatment Efficacy of Theophylline in ADCY5‐Related Dyskinesia: A Retrospective Case Series Study
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background ADCY5‐related dyskinesia is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the ADCY5 gene resulting in abnormal involuntary movements. Currently, there are no standardized guidelines to treat this condition. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of theophylline administration in improving symptoms and quality of life ...

Effects of chlorogenic acid on carbachol-induced contraction of mouse urinary bladder
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018 Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenol found in coffee and medicinal herbs such as Lonicera japonica. In this study, the effect of CGA-induced relaxation on carbachol (CCh)-induced contraction of mouse urinary bladder was investigated. CGA (30–300 μg/ml)

The dynamics of H-bonds of the hydration shells of ions, ATPase and NE-activated adenylyl cyclase on the coupling of energy and signal transduction [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Glycerol titration distinguished from free water the local hydration shell involved in ATPase transition from active to inactive, with cooperativity for water n=16. Rat brain cortex: NE-stimulated and its basal AC in the absence of free Mg2+, allows a refractive state of AC with negative cooperativity for MgATP and ATP4-.

A calcium-inhibited Drosophila adenylyl cyclase
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2000 Mammals possess a family of transmembrane, G-protein-responsive adenylyl cyclase isoforms (tmACs) encoded by distinct genes differing in their patterns of expression and modes of biochemical regulation. Our previous work confirmed that Drosophila melanogaster also possesses a family of tmAC isoforms defining the fly as a suitable genetic model for ...

Inhibition by Calcium of Mammalian Adenylyl Cyclases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Ca(2+) regulates mammalian adenylyl cyclases in a type-specific manner. Stimulatory regulation is moderately well understood. By contrast, even the concentration range over which Ca(2+) inhibits adenylyl cyclases AC5 and AC6 is not unambiguously defined; even less so is the mechanism of inhibition. In the present study, we compared the regulation of Ca(

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to
