Transmission to interneurons is via slow excitatory synaptic potentials mediated by P2Y(1) receptors during descending inhibition in guinea-pig ileum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The nature of synaptic transmission at functionally distinct synapses in intestinal reflex pathways has not been fully identified. In this study, we investigated whether transmission between interneurons in the descending inhibitory pathway ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]
, 1998 The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

P2 receptors: new potential players in atherosclerosis [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2002 Atherosclerosis is a focal inflammatory disease of the arterial wall. It starts with the formation of fatty streaks on the arterial wall that evolve to form a raised plaque made of smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and infiltrating leukocytes surrounding a necrotic core.

ATP drives eosinophil effector responses through P2 purinergic receptors
Allergology International, 2015 Background: Eosinophils recognize various stimuli, such as cytokines, chemokines, immunoglobulins, complement, and external pathogens, resulting in their accumulation in mucosal tissues and the progression of inflammation.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

ROLE OF PURINERGIC RECEPTORS IN IMMUNE RESPONSE
Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2016 Purine receptors are located on immune and somatic cells of animal and human organisms. Summation of signals from purine and TOLL-like receptors takes place on the level of inflammasome formation and results in summation of the first and second signals ...

Point mutation of an RGD sequence in the human P2Y2 receptor to a QGD sequence conserves Go-mediated signal transduction [PDF]
, 2005 only availableThe P2Y2 nucleotide receptor is a Go/q coupled receptor that is activated equipotently by extracellular nucleotides such as ATP or UTP and is upregulated in a variety of tissues in response to injury or stress.
