Dual Mechanisms for Balancing Th17 and Treg Cell Fate by CREB
Th17 cells, which express the cytokine IL-17A, and master regulator RORγt, are important in the inflammatory response to fungal and bacterial pathogens, but also have a pathogenic role in many inflammatory disorders. In contrast, regulatory T cells (Treg)

Insights into the activation mechanism of PopA, a cyclic di-GMP effector protein involved in cell cycle and development of "Caulobacter Crescentus" [PDF]
In Caulobacter crescentus, a complex network integrating cyclic di-GMP and Phosphorylation-dependent signals controls the proteolysis of key regulatory proteins to drive cell cycle and polar morphogenesis.

The cGMP-dependent protein kinase II Is an inhibitory modulator of the hyperpolarization-activated HCN2 channel [PDF]
Opening of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels is facilitated by direct binding of cyclic nucleotides to a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) in the C-terminus. Here, we show for the first time that in the HCN2 channel

Crossroads between drug and energy metabolism : role of constitutive androstane receptor and AMP-activated kinase [PDF]
Phenobarbital (PB) is a prototype inducer of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes including the cytochromes P450 (CYPs). Additionally, phenobarbital was found to repress genes that encode enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis such as ...

From Drosophila development to adult: clues to Notch function in long-term memory
Notch is a cell surface receptor that is well known to mediate inter-cellular communication during animal development. Data in the field indicate that it is also involved in the formation of long-term memory (LTM) in the fully developed adults and in ...

Crystal Structure of the Escherichia coli Fic Toxin-Like Protein in Complex with Its Cognate Antitoxin [PDF]
FIC domain proteins mediate post-translational modifications of target proteins, which typically results in their inactivation. Depending on the conservation of crucial active site residues, the FIC fold serves as structural scaffold for various ...

Global conformational selection and local induced fit for the recognition between intrinsic disordered p53 and CBP. [PDF]
The transactivation domain (TAD) of tumor suppressor p53 can bind with the nuclear coactivator binding domain (NCBD) of cyclic-AMP response element binding protein (CBP) and activate transcription.
