Regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting involves intrathylakoid lumen pH sensing by the PsbS protein

open access: yes, 2004
The biochemical, biophysical, and physiological properties of the PsbS protein were studied in relation to mutations of two symmetry-related, lumen-exposed glutamate residues, Glu-122 and Glu-226.

Biological Sources of Inflexibility in Brain and Behavior with Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2012
Almost unequivocally, aging and neurodegeneration lead to deficits in neural information processing. These declines are marked by increased neural noise that is associated with increased variability or inconsistency in behavioral patterns.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

Enzymatic identification and functional sites study of a novel cold-active cellulase (MkCel5) from Microbacterium kitamiensea

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
A strain of Microbacterium kitamiense capable of decomposing cellulose was obtained from the soil of Shigatse region in Tibet. Low temperature and cellulase gene MkCel5 was cloned and sequenced.

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.

UAS domain of Ubxd8 and FAF1 polymerizes upon interaction with long-chain unsaturated fatty acids

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Ubxd8, a multidomain protein sensor for long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), plays a crucial role to maintain cellular homeostasis of FAs. Ubxd8 polymerizes upon interaction with long-chain unsaturated FAs, but the molecular mechanism involved in ...

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Recurrence of Autoimmune Encephalitis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a disease with a potential for recurrence, and patients receive immunotherapy to prevent it. However, there is no consensus on the duration of immunotherapy. This study aimed to determine the recurrence rate and identify the risk factors for AE to provide guidance on the duration of immunotherapy ...

Interaction of Glutamate and Norvaline with Glutamate Dehydrogenase

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2006
Glutamate Dehydrogenases from higher eukaryotes show complex allosteric behaviour associated with the utilization of glutamate as the amino acid substrate. While the cofactors NAD(P)+ and NAD(P)H have been demonstrated to bind to the enzyme with cooperative properties, kinetic studies suggest that the manifestations of cooperativity relie upon ...

Neurochemical Endpoints to Inform Early‐Stage Trials of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 2 and 3 in a Multisite Setting

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurochemical levels measured by brain MR spectroscopy (MRS) have been proposed as endpoints for clinical trials in early‐stage spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) trials. We tested their trial‐readiness by quantifying neurochemicals in three affected brain regions in early‐stage cohorts of SCA2 and SCA3, examining their reproducibility in ...

A role for oxytocin in the etiology and treatment of schizophrenia

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
Schizophrenia is a chronic debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder estimated to affect 51 million people worldwide. Several symptom domains characterize schizophrenia, including negative symptoms, such as social withdrawal and anhedonia, cognitive ...
