Fluorescence Titrations to Determine the Binding Affinity of Cyclic Nucleotides to SthK Ion Channels
The cyclic-nucleotide modulated ion channel family includes cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channels, which play essential roles in visual and olfactory signaling and the heart ...

MODULATION OF NEUTROPHIL EXTRACELLULAR TRAPS (NETS) RELEASE BY CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDES STIMULATORS
Introduction: The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a key factor contributing to the severity of acute respiratory distress syndromes (ARDS).

Kinesin's backsteps under mechanical load [PDF]
Kinesins move processively toward the plus end of microtubules by hydrolyzing ATP for each step. From an enzymatic perspective, the mechanism of mechanical motion coupled to the nucleotide chemistry is often well explained using a single-loop cyclic ...

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: structural basis of ligand efficacy and allosteric modulation [PDF]
Most working proteins, including metabolic enzymes, transcription regulators, and membrane receptors, transporters, and ion channels, share the property of allosteric coupling. The term 'allosteric' means that these proteins mediate indirect interactions

Attenuation of ischemic liver injury by prostaglandin E
Background: Prostaglandin has been reported to have protective effects against liver injury. Use of this agent in clinical settings, however, is limited because of drugrelated side effects.

The Role of Cyclic Nucleotides in Pituitary Lactotroph Functions
Lactotrophs are one of the five secretory anterior pituitary cell types specialized to synthesize and release prolactin. In vitro, these cells fire action potentials spontaneously and the accompanied Ca2+ transients are of sufficient amplitude to keep ...

We have engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae to inducibly synthesize the prokaryotic signaling nucleotides cyclic di-GMP (cdiGMP), cdiAMP, and ppGpp in order to characterize the range of effects these nucleotides exert on eukaryotic cell function during ...

Cyclic nucleotide specificity of the activator and catalytic sites of a cGMP-stimulated cGMP phosphodiesterase from Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum has an intracellular phosphodiesterase which specifically hydrolyzes cGMP. The enzyme is activated by low cGMP concentrations, and is involved in the reduction of chemoattractant-mediated elevations of ...
