Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Colony-stimulating factor-1 suppresses responses to CpG DNA and expression of toll-like receptor 9 but enhances responses to lipopolysaccharide in murine macrophages

, 2002
During bacterial infections, the balance between resolution of infection and development of sepsis is dependent upon the macrophage response to bacterial products.

MNF, an ankyrin repeat protein of myxoma virus, is part of a native cellular SCF complex during viral infection [PDF]

, 2010
Myxoma virus (MYXV), a member of the Poxviridae family, is the agent responsible for myxomatosis, a fatal disease in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Human Intelectin-1 (hITL-1) as Modulator of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS): An In Silico Study

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences
Human intelectin-1 (hITL-1) has been known to be involved in diseases such as asthma, cancer, metabolic disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate hITL-1 as modulator of metabolic syndrome (MetS) using an in ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

The hepatitis B virus X protein activates nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) by a cyclosporin A-sensitive pathway. [PDF]

, 1998
The X gene product of the human hepatitis B virus (HBx) is a transcriptional activator of various viral and cellular genes. We recently have determined that the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by HBV-infected hepatocytes is ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Estimation of interdomain flexibility of N-terminus of factor H using residual dipolar couplings

, 2011
Characterization of segmental flexibility is needed to understand the biological mechanisms of the very large category of functionally diverse proteins, exemplified by the regulators of complement activation, that consist of numerous compact modules or ...

Ets-2 is a target for an Akt (protein kinase B)/Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway in macrophages of motheaten-viable mutant mice [PDF]

, 2000
The transcription factor ets-2 was phosphorylated at residue threonine 72 in a colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)- and mitogen-activated protein kinase-independent manner in macrophages isolated from motheaten-viable (me-v) mice.
