Nrf2, a Cap’n’Collar Transcription Factor, Regulates Induction of the Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene*
Stress response elements, which mediate induction of the mouse heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene by several agents, resemble the binding site for the activator protein-1 (Jun/Fos), Maf, and Cap’n’Collar/basic leucine zipper (CNC-bZIP) families of proteins. In

Identification, heterologous expression and characterization of a dye-decolorizing peroxidase of Pleurotus sapidus [PDF]
The coding sequence of a peroxidase from the secretome of Pleurotus sapidus was cloned from a cDNA library. Bioinformatic analyses revealed an open reading frame of 1551 bp corresponding to a primary translation product of 516 amino acids.

ATF4-dependent induction of heme oxygenase 1 prevents anoikis and promotes metastasis.
The integrated stress response (ISR) is a critical mediator of cancer cell survival, and targeting the ISR inhibits tumor progression. Here, we have shown that activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a master transcriptional effector of the ISR ...

Deep Kinship Verification via Appearance-shape Joint Prediction and Adaptation-based Approach [PDF]
Kinship verification aims to identify the kin relation between two given face images. It is a very challenging problem due to the lack of training data and facial similarity variations between kinship pairs. In this work, we build a novel appearance and shape based deep learning pipeline.

Heme oxygenase-1: emerging target of cancer therapy
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a rate-limiting enzyme catalyzing oxidative degradation of cellular heme to liberate free iron, carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin in mammalian cells.

Simulation of Heme using DFT+U: a step toward accurate spin-state energetics [PDF]
We investigate the DFT+U approach as a viable solution to describe the low-lying states of ligated and unligated iron heme complexes. Besides their central role in organometallic chemistry, these compounds represent a paradigmatic case where LDA, GGA, and common hybrid functionals fail to reproduce the experimental magnetic splittings.

Investigating electron conductivity regimes in the bacterial cytochrome wire OmcS [PDF]
The anaerobic bacterium \textit{Geobacter sulfurreducens} produces extracellular, electronically conductive cytochrome polymer wires that are conductive over micron length scales. Structure models from cryo-electron microscopy data show OmcS wires form a linear chain of hemes along the protein wire axis, which is proposed as the structural basis ...

Microglia regulate blood clearance in subarachnoid hemorrhage by heme oxygenase-1.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) carries a 50% mortality rate. The extravasated erythrocytes that surround the brain contain heme, which, when released from damaged red blood cells, functions as a potent danger molecule that induces sterile tissue injury ...

Role of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Murine Renal Allograft Acceptance [PDF]
The acceptance of renal grafts in mice seems to be strain specific. While a kidney transplant between MHC disparate Balb/C and C57/B6 mice is rapidly rejected, a DBA kidney transplanted into a B6 mouse is spontaneously accepted and the acceptance is ...
