Is there a classical nonsense-mediated decay pathway in trypanosomes? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In many eukaryotes, messenger RNAs with premature termination codons are destroyed by a process called "nonsense-mediated decay", which requires the RNA helicase Upf1 and also, usually, an interacting factor, Upf2.

Discovery of a metabolic alternative to the classical mevalonate pathway
eLife, 2013 Eukarya, Archaea, and some Bacteria encode all or part of the essential mevalonate (MVA) metabolic pathway clinically modulated using statins. Curiously, two components of the MVA pathway are often absent from archaeal genomes.

Proprotein Convertases and the Complement System
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Proteins destined for secretion - after removal of the signal sequence - often undergo further proteolytic processing by proprotein convertases (PCs).

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 In the evolution of the complement system, a major humoral innate immune factor, the existence of multiple isotypes of the complement components is considered as a key strategy to enhance innate immune defense. Complement C4 is also diversified in a wide

Complement Activation-Independent Attenuation of SARS-CoV-2 Infection by C1q and C4b-Binding Protein
Viruses, 2023 The complement system is a key component of the innate immune response to viruses and proinflammatory events. Exaggerated complement activation has been attributed to the induction of a cytokine storm in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Classical pathway complement activation in Kawasaki syndrome
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1994 In this study the complement breakdown products C3d, C4d, Bb and membrane attack complex were measured in plasma of patients with Kawasaki syndrome. The results suggested strong activation of the classical activation pathway. However, there was no significant decrease in hemolytic titer or in the concentrations of the intact proteins C3, C4, and B. The

cGAS/STING: novel perspectives of the classic pathway [PDF]
Molecular Biomedicine, 2020 AbstractCyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) is a cytosolic DNA sensor and innate immune response initiator. Binding with exogenous or endogenous nucleic acids, cGAS activates its downstream adaptor, stimulator of interferon genes (STING). STING then triggers protective immune to enable the elimination of the pathogens and the clearance of cancerous ...

Platelets, 2023 Increased platelet destruction is central in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia. However, impaired platelet production is also relevant and its significance underlies the rationale for treatment with thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs ...

Cytokine and Complement Response in the Glaucomatous βB1-CTGF Mouse Model
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disease leading to a loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and optic nerve axons. An activation of the complement system seems to contribute to cell loss in this disease.
