Control of the Nucleotide Cycle in Photoreceptor Cell Extracts by Retinal Degeneration Protein 3
Retinal degeneration protein 3 (RD3) is crucial for photoreceptor cell survival and linked to Leber Congenital Amaurosis type 12 (LCA12), a hereditary retinal disease in humans.

The camp analogue, dbcAMP can stimulate rabbit reproductive functions: I. Effect on ovarian folliculogenesis, ovulation and embryo production [PDF]
The aim of our study was to examine the influence of administration of N6,2’-dibutyryladenosine 3’5’-cyclic monophosphate (dbcAMP), a cAMP agonist, on ovarian folliculogenesis and atresia, as well as on reproductive efficiency in rabbits, whose ...

Functional Analysis of the Expanded Phosphodiesterase Gene Family in Toxoplasma gondii Tachyzoites
Toxoplasma motility is both activated and suppressed by 3′,5′-cyclic nucleotide signaling. Cyclic GMP (cGMP) signaling through Toxoplasma gondii protein kinase G (TgPKG) activates motility, whereas cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling through TgPKAc1 inhibits ...

Roles of PDE1 in Pathological Cardiac Remodeling and Dysfunction
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction is a response to various stress stimuli and can result in reduced cardiac output and heart failure. Cyclic nucleotide signaling regulates several cardiac functions including contractility, remodeling, and ...

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: structural basis of ligand efficacy and allosteric modulation [PDF]
Most working proteins, including metabolic enzymes, transcription regulators, and membrane receptors, transporters, and ion channels, share the property of allosteric coupling. The term 'allosteric' means that these proteins mediate indirect interactions

Some ion channels are modulated by binding of cyclic nucleotide to a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain. Here, the authors use high-speed atomic force microscopy to directly monitor the conformational changes induced by ligand binding to a cyclic ...

Effect of knocking down the insulin receptor on mouse rod responses. [PDF]
Previous experiments have shown that the insulin receptor (IR) is expressed in mammalian rods and contributes to the protection of photoreceptors during bright-light exposure.

Compartmentation of Cyclic Nucleotide Signaling in the Heart [PDF]
A current challenge in cellular signaling is to decipher the complex intracellular spatiotemporal organization that any given cell type has developed to discriminate among different external stimuli acting via a common signaling pathway. This obviously applies to cAMP and cGMP signaling in the heart, where these cyclic nucleotides determine the ...
