Rapid progesterone actions on thymulin-secreting epithelial cells cultured from rat thymus [PDF]

, 1999
Many soluble factors of neural, endocrine, paracrine and autocrine origin are present in the thymus and modulate its function. Long-term effects of sex steroids have! been documented for thymocytes and cells of the thymic microenvironment. In this report

Effect of sigma-1 receptor activation on corticosterone-induced mitochondrial damage in astrocytes

徐州医科大学学报
Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of sigma-1 receptors on corticosterone-induced mitochondrial damage in astrocytes. Methods A corticosterone-induced primary astrocyte damage model was established, and the sigma-1 receptor ...

Sigma-1 receptor is involved in modification of ER-mitochondria proximity and Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiomyocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2023
The Sigma-1 receptor (Sigmar1) is downregulated in heart failure model mice with mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the mechanism in detail has not been investigated.

Deconvolution of complex G protein-coupled receptor signaling in live cells using dynamic mass redistribution measurements [PDF]

, 2010
Label-free biosensor technology based on dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) of cellular constituents promises to translate GPCR signaling into complex optical 'fingerprints' in real time in living cells.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Recent Advances in Neurogenic Small Molecules as Innovative Treatments for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Molecules, 2016
The central nervous system of adult mammals has long been considered as a complex static structure unable to undergo any regenerative process to refurbish its dead nodes.

The pharmacology of sigma-1 receptors [PDF]

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2009
Originally considered an enigmatic protein, the sigma-1 receptor has recently been identified as a unique ligand-regulated molecular chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum of cells. This discovery causes us to look back at the many proposed roles of this receptor, even before its molecular function was identified, in many diseases such as ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
