ER Adaptor SCAP Translocates and Recruits IRF3 to Perinuclear Microsome Induced by Cytosolic Microbial DNAs. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING, also known as MITA, ERIS or MPYS) induces the activation of TBK1 kinase and IRF3 transcription factor, upon sensing of microbial DNAs. How IRF3 is recruited onto the STING signalosome remains unknown. We report here

Aloe vera Tannin Ameliorates Fructose‐Induced Dyslipidaemia and Oxidative Stress in Wistar Rats

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Aloe vera tannin (AVT) significantly enhances liver reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in rats. Fructose consumption creates dyslipidaemia in rats by significantly increasing serum cholesterol and LDL levels. AVT prevented fructose‐induced dyslipidaemia in rats by controlling the lipid profile. AVT did not affect liver, hippocampus

Microsomal epoxide hydrolase polymorphisms

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2010
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase plays a dual role in the activation and detoxification of carcinogenic compounds. Two polymorphic sites have been described in exons 3 and 4 of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene that change tyrosine residue 113 to histidine (Tyr113His) and histidine 139 to arginine (His139Arg), respectively.

Effect of ER-27856, a novel squalene synthase inhibitor, on plasma cholesterol in rhesus monkeys: comparison with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Squalene synthase (SQS; EC 2.5.1.21) plays an important role in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. We discovered ER-28448, 5-{N-[2-butenyl-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)]-N-methylamino}-1,1-penthylidenebis(phosphonic acid) trisodium salt, as a potent and ...

Toxic properties of microsome-associated alpha-synuclein species in mouse primary neurons

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
α-synuclein (αS) is a small protein that self-aggregates into α-helical oligomer species and subsequently into larger insoluble amyloid fibrils that accumulate in intraneuronal inclusions during the development of Parkinson's disease.
