Astrocytes and microglia but not neurons preferentially generate N-terminally truncated Aβ peptides
The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease include extracellular neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. The neuritic plaques contain β-amyloid peptides (Aβ peptides) as the major proteinaceous constituent and are surrounded by ...

Objective The objective of this study is to determine whether IMA (Ischemic Modified Albumin), a new oxidative stress (OS) marker, can be used to predict the degree of oligozoospermia in infertile men. Materials and Methods Oligozoospermic male patients (n = 113) who remained infertile despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for more than 12 ...

DES-ASP1-Angiotensin II: Possible Role in Mediating Responses of the Renin-Angiotensin System
In dexamethasone-treated dogs, both antiogensin II and its heptapeptide fragment (des-asp1-angiotensin II) stimulated the secretion of the adrenal steroids aldosterone, corticosterone, and cortisol. Further, there was no statistically significant difference in the steroidogenic potency of the two peptides.

Mercury (Hg) is a possible risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, where neuronal death is related to amyloid brain plaques containing aggregated amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptides. We show that equimolar Hg(I) or Hg(II) ions inhibit normal Aβ aggregation. Hg(II) binds Aβ(1–40) with an apparent binding affinity 28 ± 8 μM.

NUDIX‐type hydrolase enzymes of subclade I and II preferentially target the inositol pyrophosphate messengers 4‐ and 3‐InsP7, respectively. Inactivation of subclade II NUDTs disrupts phosphate homeostasis and enhances bacterial resistance, revealing connections between defense and nutrient signaling.

Inositol Pyrophosphate Kinase Asp1 Modulates Chromosome Segregation Fidelity and Spindle Function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Chromosome transmission fidelity during mitosis is of critical importance for the fitness of an organism, as mistakes will lead to aneuploidy, which has a causative role in numerous severe diseases. Proper segregation of chromosomes depends on interdependent processes at the microtubule-kinetochore interface and the spindle assembly checkpoint. Here we

SP3 and DEP1 Orchestrate Panicle Architecture by Jointly Regulating APO2 Expression in Rice
The transcription factor SP3 enhances inflorescence meristem activity and interacts with the cysteine‐rich domain of DEP1. This interaction alters DEP1's subcellular localization between the plasma membrane and nucleus, and suppresses SP3‐mediated transcriptional activation of APO2.

ABSTRACT Although cereal grain products have low protein content, they can contribute up to 25% of total protein in low‐trophic level/omnivorous fish diets. Thus, understanding the amino acid contribution of these ingredients becomes crucial for meeting the dietary requirements of omnivorous fish.
