Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

The structural and functional integrity of peripheral nerves depends on the glial-derived signal desert hedgehog [PDF]

, 2006
We show that desert hedgehog ( dhh), a signaling molecule expressed by Schwann cells, is essential for the structural and functional integrity of the peripheral nerve.

Predicting OCT2/MATEs‐Mediated Drug Interactions in Healthy Volunteers and Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Insights from Extended Clearance Concept, Endogenous Biomarkers, and In Vitro Inhibition Studies (Perspectives from the International Transporter Consortium)

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 and multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters play significant roles in the renal secretion of organic cations and drug–drug interactions (DDIs). Recent in vitro studies indicate that the Ki values for OCT2 exhibit substrate dependency and increase in potency with pre‐incubation.

Axon myelin transfer of a non-enveloped virus.

PLoS ONE, 2007
We showed previously that Theiler's virus, a neurotropic non-enveloped picornavirus of mouse, traffics from the axon of infected neurons into the surrounding myelin. When this traffic is interrupted, as in the shiverer mouse which bears a mutation in the

Are there optical communication channels in the brain?

, 2017
Despite great progress in neuroscience, there are still fundamental unanswered questions about the brain, including the origin of subjective experience and consciousness. Some answers might rely on new physical mechanisms. Given that biophotons have been

Phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by an adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase.

Biochemical Journal, 1973
Myelin basic protein was shown to be a substrate for protein kinase from rabbit muscle. One of the major sites of phosphorylation was the serine residue in the sequence Gly-Arg-Gly-Leu-Ser-Leu.

Designing, Optimization and Construction of Myelin Basic Protein Coding Sequence Binding to the Immunogenic Subunit of Cholera Toxin

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2014
Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. Mucosal feeding of myelin basic protein binding to the cholera toxin B subunit can reduce the intensity of the immune response in MS patients.

Higher levels of myelin phospholipids in brains of neuronal α-Synuclein transgenic mice precede myelin loss

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2017
α-Synuclein is a protein involved in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Temporal and partial inhibition of GLI1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) results in the early maturation of NSC derived oligodendrocytes in vitro. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundOligodendrocytes are a type of glial cells that synthesize the myelin sheath around the axons and are critical for the nerve conduction in the CNS.

Myelin Formation by Oligodendrocytes Is Enhanced Through Laminin‐411 and Its Derived Peptide

Glia, EarlyView.
Laminin (LM) α1, α2, and α4 chains are expressed at the myelination stage of oligodendrocyte (OL). LM411 and its E8 fragment enhance OL myelin membrane formation. A4G47 from LM411E8 is a novel peptide that promotes OL myelin formation. ABSTRACT In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes (OLs) form myelin sheaths that accomplish the efficient ...
