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.

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.

Staurosporine induces necroptotic cell death under caspase-compromised conditions in U937 cells [PDF]
, 2012 For a long time necrosis was thought to be an uncontrolled process but evidences recently have revealed that necrosis can also occur in a regulated manner.

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 ...

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
