Cyclic nucleotide specificity of the activator and catalytic sites of a cGMP-stimulated cGMP phosphodiesterase from Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
, 1985 The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum has an intracellular phosphodiesterase which specifically hydrolyzes cGMP. The enzyme is activated by low cGMP concentrations, and is involved in the reduction of chemoattractant-mediated elevations of ...

Loss of angiotensin II receptor expression in dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease correlates with pathological progression and is accompanied by increases in Nox4- and 8-OH guanosine-related nucleic acid oxidation and caspase-3 activation [PDF]
, 2015 In rodent models of Parkinsons disease (PD), dopamine neuron loss is accompanied by increased expression of angiotensin II (AngII), its type 1 receptor (AT1), and NADPH oxidase (Nox) in the nigral dopamine neurons and microglia.

Phosphorylation of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides by isolated rat liver mitochondria [PDF]
, 1975 Formation of 5'-AMP, 5'-GMP, 5'-CMP and 5'UMP was confirmed in isolated rat liver mitochondria incubated with alpha-ketoglutarate, inorganic phosphate, purine nucleoside and pyrimidine nucleoside. Increased incorporation of 32Pi into ATP, GTP and UTP was

Role of Guanosine Kinase in the Utilization of Guanosine for Nucleotide Synthesis in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Microbiology, 1989 Using purine auxotrophic strains of Escherichia coli with additional genetic lesions in the pathways of interconversion and salvage of purine compounds, we demonstrated the in vivo function of guanosine kinase and inosine kinase. Mutants with increased ability to utilize guanosine were isolated by plating cells on medium with guanosine as the sole ...

Dynamics of Microtubule Growth and Catastrophe [PDF]
, 2007 We investigate a simple model of microtubule dynamics in which a microtubule evolves by: (i) attachment of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) to its end at rate lambda, (ii) GTP converting irreversibly to guanosine diphosphate (GDP) at rate 1, and (iii ...

Synthetic (p)ppGpp analogue is an inhibitor of stringent response in mycobacteria [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteria elicit an adaptive response against hostile conditions such as starvation and other kinds of stresses. Their ability to survive such conditions depends, in part, on stringent response pathways.
