Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) enzymes-catalyzing adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing possibly modulates gene expression and function. In this study, we investigated whether ADARs regulate the expression of human constitutive androstane receptor

Rational quantitative structure–activity relationship (RQSAR) screen for PXR and CAR isoform-specific nuclear receptor ligands [PDF]
Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) are closely related orphan nuclear receptor proteins that share several ligands and target overlapping sets of genes involved in homeostasis and all phases of drug metabolism.

Flexible protein-peptide docking using CABS-dock with knowledge about the binding site [PDF]
Despite considerable efforts, structural prediction of protein-peptide complexes is still a very challenging task, mainly due to two reasons: high flexibility of the peptides and transient character of their interactions with proteins. Recently we have developed an automated web server CABS-dock (http://biocomp.chem.uw.edu.pl/CABSdock), which conducts ...

Crosstalk of HNF4α with extracellular and intracellular signaling pathways in the regulation of hepatic metabolism of drugs and lipids [PDF]
The liver is essential for survival due to its critical role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. Metabolism of xenobiotics, such as environmental chemicals and drugs by the liver protects us from toxic effects of these xenobiotics, whereas ...

Effect of CAR activation on selected metabolic pathways in normal and hyperlipidemic mouse livers [PDF]
Background Detoxification in the liver involves activation of nuclear receptors, such as the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), which regulate downstream genes of xenobiotic metabolism.

The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a nuclear receptor involved mainly in xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism regulation. CAR is activated directly by its ligands via the ligand binding domain (LBD) or indirectly by inhibition of the epidermal

THE ROLE OF CAR AND PXR IN TOXICANT SENSITIVITY [PDF]
The Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) and the Pregnane X Receptor (PXR) are nuclear receptors of significant importance in the regulation of enzymes that metabolize, detoxify and eliminate compounds from the body.
