The enzymatic dephosphorylation of endogenous and exogenous dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P) by membrane preparations from calf brain has been reported previously (Burton, W.A., Scher, M.G., and Waechter, C. J. (1981) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 208, 409-417). The study presented here shows that polyisoprenyl phosphate phosphatase activity increases with age in ...

Myxococcus xanthus displays several social behaviors involving cell–cell contacts. To understand the role of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in these behaviors, we identified key enzymes involved in O‐antigen and LPS biosynthesis: the polyisoprenyl‐phosphate hexose‐1‐phosphate transferase, responsible for priming O‐antigen synthesis and the O‐antigen ...

This review is focused on the possible causes of mitochondrial dysfunction in AD, underlying molecular mechanisms of this malfunction, possible causes and known consequences of APP, Aβ, and hyperphosphorylated tau presence in mitochondria, and the contribution of altered lipid metabolism (nonsterol isoprenoids) to pathological processes leading to ...

Molecular Circuits of Resolution in Airway Inflammation
Inflammatory diseases of the lung are common, cause significant morbidity, and can be refractory to therapy. Airway responses to injury, noxious stimuli, or microbes lead to leukocyte recruitment for host defense. As leukocytes respond, they interact with lung resident cells and can elaborate specific mediators that are enzymatically generated from ...

Lipoxins (LXs) represent a class of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites that carry potent immunoregulatory and anti‐inflammatory properties, LXA4 and LXB4 being the main components of this series. LXs are generated by cooperation between 5‐lipoxygenase (LO) and 12‐ or 15‐LO during cell‐cell interactions or by single cell types.

It is well appreciated that lipid‐derived mediators play key roles in inflammation and many other physiologic responses where multicellular processes are involved. Among them, lipoxins (LX) and aspirin‐triggered LX (ATL) evoke actions of interest in a range of physiologic and pathophysiologic processes, and these two series have emerged as founding ...

The cis‐prenyltransferase protein family in Taraxacum koksaghyz
Significance Statement The novelty of this work lies in the comprehensive description of cis‐prenyl transferases in the rubber‐producing plant Taraxacum koksaghyz. This provides valuable insights for breeding and rational protein design in heterologous systems.

A method for the rapid determination of alkaline phosphates with five cubic millimeters of serum.
The alkaline phosphatase of the serum increases early and markedly in rickets and returns completely to normal only after healing is complete. Because of this fact, serum phosphatase is the most satisfactory index now known for the detection of this ...

Coordination tuning of cobalt phosphates towards efficient water oxidation catalyst
The development of efficient and stable water oxidation catalysts is necessary for the realization of practically viable water-splitting systems. Although extensive studies have focused on the metal-oxide catalysts, the effect of metal coordination on ...

Quantification of dolichol in the human lens with different types of cataracts. [PDF]
PURPOSE: To quantify and characterize dolichol species in cataractous and clear human lenses. METHODS: Whole lenses were collected from cadaver eyeballs from the C.H. Nagri Eye Bank and Red Cross Society Eye Bank (Ahmedabad, India). Cataractous nuclei
