The D153del mutation in GNB3 gene causes tissue specific signalling patterns and an abnormal renal morphology in rge chickens [PDF]
Background The GNB3 gene is expressed in cone but not rod photoreceptors of vertebrates, where it acts as the β transducin subunit in the colour visual transduction process. A naturally occurring mutation ‘D153del’ in the GNB3 gene causes the recessively

Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA), and perfluorotetradecanoic acid (PFTA), are commonly occurring organic pollutants. Exposure to PFAS affects the immune system, thyroid and kidney function, lipid metabolism, and insulin signaling and is also involved in the ...

Abstract The β2AR is a prototypical G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) known to orchestrate different cellular responses by the stimulation of specific signaling pathways. The best‐established signaling pathways for the β2AR are the canonical Gs pathway and the alternative β arrestin 2 (βarr2) pathway.

Increase in Gs and cyclic AMP generation in HIT cells
Cyclic AMP accumulation in response to forskolin, cholera toxin, or isoproterenol is dramatically increased in HIT T-15 cells, a clonal cell line of Syrian hamster pancreatic islet beta cells, as a function of passage number. Forskolin and cholera toxin elevate cyclic AMP levels 5- to 10-fold higher in later passages (87-100) than in earlier passages ...

Bioinformatic analysis for structure and function of Glutamine synthetase(GS) [PDF]
Objective: To predict structure and function of Glutamine synthetase (GS) from Pseudoalteromonas sp. by bioinformatics technology, and to provide a theoretical basis for further study. Methods: Open reading frame (ORF) of GS sequence from Pseudoalteromonas sp. was obtained by ORF finder and was translated into amino acid residue.

A G protein-gated K channel is activated via beta 2-adrenergic receptors and G beta gamma subunits in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]
In many tissues, inwardly rectifying K channels are coupled to seven- helix receptors via the Gi/Go family of heterotrimeric G proteins. This activation proceeds at least partially via G beta gamma subunits.

Milky Way's eccentric constituents with $Gaia$, APOGEE $\&$ GALAH [PDF]
We report the results of an unsupervised decomposition of the local stellar halo in the chemo-dynamical space spanned by the abundance measurements from APOGEE DR17 and GALAH DR3. In our Gaussian Mixture Model, only four independent components dominate the halo in the Solar neighborhood, three previously known $Aurora$, $Splash$ and Gaia-Sausage ...

Decoupled phase of frustrated spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic chains with and without long range order in the ground state [PDF]
The quantum phases of one-dimensional spin $s= 1/2$ chains are discussed for models with two parameters, frustrating exchange $g = J_2 > 0$ between second neighbors and normalized nonfrustrating power-law exchange with exponent $\alpha$ and distance dependence $r^{-\alpha}$.
