The Location of the Antimicrobial Peptide Maculatin 1.1 in Model Bacterial Membranes
Maculatin 1.1 (Mac1) is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from the skin secretions of Australian tree frogs. In this work, the interaction of Mac1 with anionic phospholipid bilayers was investigated by NMR, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, neutron ...

Regulation of Copper Metabolism by Nitrogen Utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
To understand the relationship between carbon or nitrogen utilization and iron homeostasis, we performed an iron uptake assay with several deletion mutants with partial defects in carbon or nitrogen metabolism. Among them, some deletion mutants defective

The Yeast Transcription Factor Mac1 Binds to DNA in a Modular Fashion [PDF]
Mac1 is a metalloregulatory protein that regulates expression of the high affinity copper transport system in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Under conditions of high copper concentration, Mac1 represses transcription of genes coding for copper transport proteins.

HMGB1 Acts on Microglia Mac1 to Mediate Chronic Neuroinflammation That Drives Progressive Neurodegeneration [PDF]
What drives the gradual degeneration of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease, remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated, for the first time, that persistent neuroinflammation was indispensible for such a neurodegenerative process. 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, lipopolysaccharide

AbstractRecent studies showed increased expression of complements in various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, the mechanism regulating the expression of complements and their roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration are unclear.

Fluid shear-induced cathepsin B release in the control of Mac1-dependent neutrophil adhesion [PDF]
Abstract There is compelling evidence that circulatory hemodynamics prevent neutrophil activation, including adhesion to microvessels, in the microcirculation. However, the underlying mechanism or mechanisms by which that mechanoregulation occurs remain unresolved.

The mac1 Gene: Controlling the Commitment to the Meiotic Pathway in Maize [PDF]
Abstract The switch from the vegetative to the reproductive pathway of development in flowering plants requires the commitment of the subepidermal cells of the ovules and anthers to enter the meiotic pathway. These cells, the hypodermal cells, either directly or indirectly form the archesporial cells that, in turn, differentiate into the

Overexpression of Mcl-1 exacerbates lymphocyte accumulation and autoimmune kidney disease in lpr mice [PDF]
Cell death by apoptosis has a critical role during embryonic development and in maintaining tissue homeostasis. In mammals, there are two converging apoptosis pathways: the ‘extrinsic’ pathway, which is triggered by engagement of cell surface ‘death ...

Molecular Basis for ADP-Ribose Binding to the Mac1 Domain of SARS-CoV-2 nsp3 [PDF]
The virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, has a large RNA genome that encodes numerous proteins that might be targets for antiviral drugs. Some of these proteins, such as the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, helicase, and main protease, are well conserved between SARS-CoV-2 and the original SARS virus, but several others are not. This study examines one

Analysis of security protocols using finite-state machines [PDF]
This paper demonstrates a comprehensive analysis method using formal methods such as finite-state machine. First, we describe the modified version of our new protocol and briefly explain the encrypt-then-authenticate mechanism, which is regarded as more ...
