Evidence of Metallic and Polyether Ionophores as Potent Therapeutic Drug Candidate in Cancer Management

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Cancer remains one of the most crucial human malignancies with a higher mortality rate globally, and is predicted to escalate soon. Dysregulated ion homeostasis in cancerous cells prompted the researchers to investigate further ion homeostasis impeding ...

A P-type ATPase importer that discriminates between essential and toxic transition metals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Transition metals, although being essential cofactors in many physiological processes, are toxic at elevated concentrations. Among the membrane-embedded transport proteins that maintain appropriate intracellular levels of transition metals are ATP-driven

When, where and how? Focus on neuronal calcium dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD), since its characterization as a precise form of dementia with its own pathological hallmarks, has captured scientists\u2019 attention because of its complexity.

Transcriptional regulation of salinity stress: role and spatio-temporal expressions of ion-transporter gene promoters

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2018
Ion transporters play an important role in ion homeostasis and control ion flow from its intrusion to exclusion in the entire plant system. Abiotic stress tolerance in plants depends immensely on the activity of these transporters.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Ion flux profiles and plant ion homeostasis control under salt stress [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2009
The ability of a plant to maintain an ionic homeostasis is crucial in plant salt tolerance. Direct evidence based on data from the non-invasive measurement of ion fluxes would not only offer new insight about the function of the transporter but also provide a whole plant approach for dissecting salt adaptation mechanisms.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Environmental concentrations of N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) disturb the Ca2 + and K+ homeostasis in the gills and epidermis of mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis)

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a nitrogenous disinfection by-product, is notorious for its ubiquitous presence in the environment and its carcinogenic properties. However, its impact on ion homeostasis in aquatic organisms remains underexplored.

Increased intestinal carbonate precipitate abundance in the sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) in response to ocean acidification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Marine fish contribute to the carbon cycle by producing mineralized intestinal precipitates generated as by-products of their osmoregulation. Here we aimed at characterizing the control of epithelial bicarbonate secretion and intestinal precipitate ...
