Characterization of ADP-ribosyl cyclase 1-like (ARC1-like) activity and NAADP signaling during slow muscle cell development in zebrafish embryos [PDF]

Developmental Biology, 2019
We recently demonstrated the requirement of two-pore channel type 2 (TPC2)-mediated Ca2+ release during slow muscle cell differentiation and motor circuit maturation in intact zebrafish embryos. However, the upstream trigger(s) of TPC2/Ca2+ signaling during these developmental processes remains unclear.

Type III CD38 is present in the membrane of neurosecretory vesicles and has a cytosol-facing catalytic domain in primate oxytocin neurons. [PDF]

J Neuroendocrinol
Abstract CD38, an ADP‐ribosyl cyclase that generates cyclic ADP‐ribose (cADPR), is essential for Ca2+‐dependent oxytocin release. However, its subcellular localisation and membrane topology within oxytocin neurones have remained unclear. We investigated the distribution and orientation of CD38 in oxytocin‐producing neurones of Japanese macaques (Macaca

The Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase β1 Subunit is a Kidney ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase. [PDF]

FASEB J
This study highlights that the β1 subunit of Na, K‐ATPase, known as Atp1b1, functions as an ADP‐ribosyl cyclase in rat kidney (kARC). We found that reducing Atp1b1 expression in mouse mesangial cells suppressed angiotensin II (AngII)–induced synthesis of cyclic ADP‐ribose (cADPR) and the associated sustained Ca2+ signaling.

Synthesis of Bispecific Conjugates by ADP-Ribosyl Cyclases. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Genetic fusion of a CD38 enzymatic domain to antibody scaffolds allows site‐specific conjugation of small‐molecule ligands. Using this approach, a PSMA ligand DUPA is conjugated with an anti‐human CD3 Fab antibody. The resulting bispecific anti‐CD3‐DUPA conjugate facilitates recruitment and activation of cytotoxic T cells against PSMA‐expressing ...

Emerging Roles of Adenosine Metabolism in Astrocytes During Brain Injury. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
Adenosine, as a key metabolic and neurotransmitter in the brain, has become an important therapeutic target for improving the efficacy of immunotherapy for stroke. However, gaps in knowledge about its metabolic pathways have become a key factor limiting its clinical translation.

Conceptual framework for SARS-CoV-2–related lymphopenia

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2022
The emerging of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates globally. One of the most prominent characteristics of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is lymphopenia, which is ...

Bone marrow stromal cell antigen-1 (CD157) regulated by sphingosine kinase 2 mediates kidney fibrosis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Chronic kidney disease is a progressive disease that may lead to end-stage renal disease. Interstitial fibrosis develops as the disease progresses. Therapies that focus on fibrosis to delay or reverse progressive renal failure are limited.

Ectonucleotidases in Acute and Chronic Inflammation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Ectonucleotidases are extracellular enzymes with a pivotal role in inflammation that hydrolyse extracellular purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, e.g., ATP, UTP, ADP, UDP, AMP and NAD+. Ectonucleotidases, expressed by virtually all cell types, immune cells

Multiomic analysis revealed the regulatory role of the KRT14 gene in eggshell quality

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background: Eggshell strength and thickness are critical factors in reducing the egg breaking rate and preventing economic losses. The calcite biomineralization process is very important for eggshell quality.

Endogenous ADP-ribosylation of the G Protein β Subunit Prevents the Inhibition of Type 1 Adenylyl Cyclase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
Mono-ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification of cellular proteins that has been implicated in the regulation of signal transduction, muscle cell differentiation, protein trafficking, and secretion. In several cell systems we have observed that the major substrate of endogenous mono-ADP-ribosylation is a 36-kDa protein.
