Beyond red/far‐red sensing: phytochrome perception of the marine light field by microalgae
Summary Phytochromes (PHYs) are a major group of photoreceptors, described as red and far‐red light sensors in land plants. Recent genomic and metagenomic explorations have revealed the presence of PHYs also in various eukaryotic microalgae originating from distinct endosymbiotic events.

HFD withdrawal results in early restoration of systemic glucose tolerance and PVAT lipid unsaturation that is temporarily dissociated from the reversal of endothelial dysfunction in aorta that may be linked to altered PVAT function featured by impaired guanylate cyclase signaling pathway.

Reactive oxygen-related diseases: therapeutic targets and emerging clinical indications [PDF]
SIGNIFICANCE Enhanced levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with different disease states. Most attempts to validate and exploit these associations by chronic antioxidant therapies have provided disappointing results. Hence, the

Guanylate cyclase and the ⋅NO/cGMP signaling pathway
Signal transduction with the diatomic radical nitric oxide (NO) is involved in a number of important physiological processes, including smooth muscle relaxation and neurotransmission. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), a heterodimeric enzyme that converts guanosine triphosphate to cyclic guanosine monophosphate, is a critical component of this signaling ...

Hederagenin Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling by Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9A
ABSTRACT Background and Aim New therapeutic strategies for heart failure are urgently needed. The protective effects of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)—protein kinase G (PKG) pathway on heart have been widely reported. Despite phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A) inhibitors combating cardiac remodeling, clinically available drugs are lacking. Hederagenin

Functional EF-hands in neuronal calcium sensor GCAP2 determine its phosphorylation state and subcellular distribution in vivo, and are essential for photoreceptor cell integrity [PDF]
The neuronal calcium sensor proteins GCAPs (guanylate cyclase activating proteins) switch between Ca2+-free and Ca2+-bound conformational states and confer calcium sensitivity to guanylate cyclase at retinal photoreceptor cells.

Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

Visual consequences of molecular changes in the guanylate cyclase activating protein [PDF]
Purpose: In this study, we characterize and model changes in visual performance associated with a Tyr99Cys substitution in the guanylate cyclase activating protein (GCAP1) in four family members aged between 39 and 55 years.

Background and Purpose Regular physical activity is an effective non‐pharmacological approach to hypertension management and maternal exercise improves offspring cardiovascular health, although mechanisms remain unclear. A‐kinase anchoring protein 150 (AKAP150) targets protein kinase Cα to L‐type Ca2+ channels (CaV1.2), enhancing vascular tone in ...
