Myosin light chain kinase is not a regulator of synaptic vesicle trafficking during repetitive exocytosis in cultured hippocampal neurons [PDF]
The mechanism by which synaptic vesicles (SVs) are recruited to the release site is poorly understood. One candidate mechanism for trafficking of SVs is the myosin-actin motor system.

Total Synthesis of Tetranormethyl-calcimycin
The title compound 2 was synthesized. Asymmetric epoxidation of 9 followed by reductive cleavage of the epoxide 10 and acidification gave a symmetrical spiroketal (3), to which pyrrole and benzoxazole moieties were introduced in an efficient manner by the previously developed method.

Stimulation of Ca2+‐ATPase Transport Activity by a Small‐Molecule Drug
Electric insight: The interaction between the small‐molecule drug CDN1163 and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+−ATPase was investigated by electrical current measurements. It was shown that CDN1163 reversibly binds to the ATPase protein and significantly enhances ATP‐dependent calcium translocation.

Abstract Panton‐Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a bicomponent leukotoxin produced by 3%‐10% of clinical Staphylococcus aureus (SA) strains involved in the severity of hospital and community‐acquired infections. Although PVL was long known as a pore‐forming toxin, recent studies have challenged the formation of a pore at the plasma membrane, while its ...

The effects of immune challenge on phenoloxidase activity in locust salivary glands in vitro [PDF]
Homogenates of salivary glands from Locusta migratoria possess phenoloxidase (PO) activity. This study investigates the activation of prophenoloxidase (PPO) in these glands in vitro. When freshly dissected salivary glands from L. migratoria are incubated

Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of some novel sulfonylamido-benzoxazoles [PDF]
A series of 2-(p-substituted phenyl)-5-[(4-substituted phenyl) sulfonylamido]-benzoxazoles were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial activities. The structures of the new derivatives were elucidated by spectral techniques.

Calcimycin-induced lens epithelial cell apoptosis contributes to cataract formation
Previous studies have shown that calcimycin induces cataract in organ culture. To investigate the mechanism of this induction, the viability of lens epithelial cells in calcimycin (calcium ionophore, A23187)-treated rat lenses were examined. During incubation of lenses with 5 microM calcimycin, apoptotic epithelial cells were found after a 2-hr ...

Calcium Ionophore, Calcimycin, KillsLeishmaniaPromastigotes by Activating Parasite Nitric Oxide Synthase [PDF]
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genusLeishmania. There is no vaccine against human leishmaniasis and the treatment of the disease would benefit from a broader spectrum and a higher efficacy of leishmanicidal compounds.
