A Retrospective on eIF2A-and Not the Alpha Subunit of eIF2. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2020 Initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotes is a complex process requiring more than 12 different initiation factors, comprising over 30 polypeptide chains. The functions of many of these factors have been established in great detail; however, the precise role of some of them and their mechanism of action is still not well understood.

Characterisation of the tryptophan synthase alpha subunit in maize [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2008 Background In bacteria, such as Salmonella typhimurium, tryptophan is synthesized from indole-3-glycerole phosphate (IGP) by a tryptophan synthase αββα heterotetramer.

Molecular cloning and analysis of zebrafish voltage-gated sodium channel beta subunit genes: implications for the evolution of electrical signaling in vertebrates [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Action potential generation in excitable cells such as myocytes and neurons critically depends on voltage-gated sodium channels. In mammals, sodium channels exist as macromolecular complexes that include a pore-forming alpha subunit and 1 or ...

Distinct functions of integrin alpha and beta subunit cytoplasmic domains in cell spreading and formation of focal adhesions [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1993 Integrin-mediated cell adhesion often results in cell spreading and the formation of focal adhesions. We exploited the capacity of recombinant human alpha IIb beta 3 integrin to endow heterologous cells with the ability to adhere and spread on fibrinogen

An MLSA-based online scheme for the rapid identification of Stenotrophomonas isolates [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011 An online scheme to assign Stenotrophomonas isolates to genomic groups was developed using the multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), which is based on the DNA sequencing of selected fragments of the housekeeping genes ATP synthase alpha subunit (atpA ...

Inherited/Genetically-Associated Pheochromocytoma/ Paraganglioma Syndromes and COVID-19
Medicina, 2021 In some subjects with inherited pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPG) syndromes, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1α) stabilization/activation could lead to an increase in angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE).

Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus – an overview [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2021 Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is characterized by a group of genetic epilepsies associated predominately with an autosomal dominant pattern, but also with de novo and autosomal-recessive inheritance, these last two found in a small ...

A Novel Di-Leucine Motif at the N-Terminus of Human Organic Solute Transporter Beta Is Essential for Protein Association and Membrane Localization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The heteromeric membrane protein Organic Solute Transporter alpha/beta is the major bile acid efflux transporter in the intestine. Physical association of its alpha and beta subunits is essential for their polarized basolateral membrane localization and ...

G alpha 12 and G alpha 13 subunits define a fourth class of G protein alpha subunits. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1991 Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) are central to the signaling processes of multicellular organisms. We have explored the diversity of the G protein subunits in mammals and found evidence for a large family of genes that encode the alpha subunits.
