Cell surface localization of tissue transglutaminase is dependent on a fibronectin-binding site in its N-terminal beta-sandwich domain [PDF]
Increasing evidence indicates that tissue transglutaminase (tTG) plays a role in the assembly and remodeling of extracellular matrices and promotes cell adhesion.

DNA-Mediated Transfer of the Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Locus into Mammalian Cells [PDF]
In this report, we demonstrate the feasibility of transforming mouse cells deficient in adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (aprt; AMP:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, EC 2.4.2.7) to the aprt+ phenotype by means of DNA-mediated gene transfer ...

Locomotor hyperactivity in 14-3-3Zeta KO mice is associated with dopamine transporter dysfunction [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission requires a complex series of enzymatic reactions that are tightly linked to catecholamine exocytosis and receptor interactions on pre- and postsynaptic neurons.

Targeting cancer metabolism: a therapeutic window opens [PDF]
Genetic events in cancer activate signalling pathways that alter cell metabolism. Clinical evidence has linked cell metabolism with cancer outcomes. Together, these observations have raised interest in targeting metabolic enzymes for cancer therapy, but ...

Explicit consideration of topological and parameter uncertainty gives new insights into a well-established model of glycolysis [PDF]
Previous models of glycolysis in the sleeping sickness parasite Trypanosoma brucei assumed that the core part of glycolysis in this unicellular parasite is tightly compartimentalized within an organelle, the glycosome, which had previously been shown to ...

Role of CD4 epitopes outside the gp120-binding site during entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [PDF]
CD4 is the primary receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The binding site for the surface glycoprotein of HIV type 1 (HIV-1), gp120, has been mapped to the C'-C" region of domain 1 of CD4. Previously, we have shown that a mutant of rat CD4, in

Assignment of the Human and Mouse Prion Protein Genes to Homologous Chromosomes [PDF]
Purified preparations of scrapie prions contain one major macromolecule, designated prion protein (PrP). Genes encoding PrP are found in normal animals and humans but not within the infectious particles.
