Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

New Topics in Vasopressin Receptors and Approach to Novel Drugs: Role of the Vasopressin Receptor in Psychological and Cognitive Functions

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a neurohypophyseal peptide best known as an antidiuretic hormone. AVP receptors have been classified into three subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors.

Phosphorylation of the V2 Vasopressin Receptor [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
The V2 vasopressin receptor undergoes ligand-induced sequestration and desensitization (Birnbaumer, M., Antaramian, A., Themmen, A. P. N., and Gilbert, S. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 11783-11788). The V2 receptor expressed in transfected cells labeled with [32P] orthophosphate was phosphorylated following the addition of 100 nM arginine vasopressin (AVP)

Fetal Pain Perception: Legislative Assertions and Developmental Neuroscience

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pain perception is a conscious experience, but neither pain nor consciousness is defined in the developing human fetus. Emergent consciousness may be regarded as a phenomenon that ultimately arises from an essential minimum of functional neuronal connectivity. Proposed U.S.

Noncanonical effects of vasopressin in angiogenesis

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019
The molecular action of vasopressin depends on the localization of hormonal receptors. The basic physiological effects of vasopressin are manifested in the blood vasculature, renal inner medulla and brain.

Risk of Acute Kidney Injury Associated With Nephrotoxic Burden in Hospitalized Patients: A Scoping Review

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Limited evidence exists synthesizing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the concomitant administration of multiple nephrotoxic drugs, and even less examining the concept of nephrotoxic burden. The objective of this scoping review was to (1) identify definitions of nephrotoxic burden; (2) methods used to quantify (use of calculations)

New Topics in Vasopressin Receptors and Approach to Novel Drugs: Involvement of Vasopressin V1a and V1b Receptors in Nociceptive Responses and Morphine-Induced Effects

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptors have been classified into V1a, V1b, and V2 subtypes. Recent studies have demonstrated the involvement of AVP in anti-nociception and in morphine-induced anti-nociception.
