Spatial restriction of alpha4 integrin phosphorylation regulates lamellipodial stability and alpha4beta1-dependent cell migration. [PDF]
Integrins coordinate spatial signaling events essential for cell polarity and directed migration. Such signals from alpha4 integrins regulate cell migration in development and in leukocyte trafficking.

Role of cyclic AMP in the control of cell-specific gene expression [PDF]
Genes have to be expressed in specific cell types at appropriate times of development dependent on external signals. cAMP signaling occurs in all cells, thus raising the question of how this signal transduction pattern is integrated into mechanisms ...

Electroenzymatic CO2 fixation enables energy‐efficient, highly selective synthesis of complex molecules. Unlocking its full potential requires fundamental understanding of electrode‐coupled reductases and carboxylases. This review critically discusses available enzymes, product scope, and key thermodynamic and kinetic considerations, highlighting ...

Isoform-selective susceptibility of DISC1/phosphodiesterase-4 complexes to dissociation by elevated intracellular cAMP levels [PDF]
Disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a genetic susceptibility factor for schizophrenia and related severe psychiatric conditions. DISC1 is a multifunctional scaffold protein that is able to interact with several proteins, including the independently ...

Ribozymes for RNA‐Catalyzed RNA Methylation and Labeling
Ribozymes are powerful tools for site‐specific RNA modification. Their activities range from installing tags and fluorophores to generating natural RNA methylations, making them valuable tools to uncover the many functions that RNA plays in nature.

Separate roles of PKA and EPAC in renal function unraveled by the optogenetic control of cAMP levels in vivo [PDF]
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a variety of essential processes in diverse cell types, functioning via cAMP-dependent effectors such as protein kinase A (PKA) and/or exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC ...

Objective Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients do not respond to it. Low inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of ITPA in vitro. Methods ITPA enzymatic activity

Is NO the Answer? The Nitric Oxide Pathway Can Support Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Mediated Signaling [PDF]
The growth factor bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) plays an important role in bone development and repair. Despite the positive effects of BMP2 in fracture healing, its use is associated with negative side effects and poor cost effectiveness, partly ...
