Transcriptional responses to proteotoxic stressors are profoundly diverse and tissue-specific [PDF]
Cells counteract proteotoxic conditions by launching transcriptional stress responses. While synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) upon acute stress is well characterized, how distinct proteotoxic conditions reshape the transcriptome remains poorly ...

FSHR Trans-Activation and Oligomerization [PDF]
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a key role in human reproduction through, among others, induction of spermatogenesis in men and production of estrogen in women. The function FSH is performed upon binding to its cognate receptor-follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) expressed on the surface of target cells (granulosa and Sertoli cells ...

We report the discovery of strong HNF4α agonists and their use to uncover a previously unknown pathway by which HNF4α controls the level of fat storage in the liver.

Fumarate analogs act as allosteric inhibitors of the human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme. [PDF]
Human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme (m-NAD(P)-ME) is allosterically activated by the four-carbon trans dicarboxylic acid, fumarate. Previous studies have suggested that the dicarboxylic acid in a trans conformation around the carbon-carbon

ZmOrphan94 Transcription Factor Downregulates ZmPEPC1 Gene Expression in Maize Bundle Sheath Cells
Spatial separation of the photosynthetic reactions is a key feature of C4 metabolism. In most C4 plants, this separation requires compartmentation of photosynthetic enzymes between mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) are ubiquitous proteins which are essential for cis-trans isomerisation of peptide bonds preceding the proline residue.

Structural basis of Janus kinase trans-activation
Janus kinases (JAKs) mediate signal transduction downstream of cytokine receptors. Cytokine-dependent dimerization is conveyed across the cell membrane to drive JAK dimerization, trans-phosphorylation, and activation. Activated JAKs in turn phosphorylate receptor intracellular domains (ICDs), resulting in the recruitment, phosphorylation, and ...

Peptidyl-prolyl cis–trans isomerases (PPIases) are the only class of enzymes capable of cis–trans isomerization of the prolyl peptide bond. The PPIases, comprising of different families viz., cyclophilins, FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), parvulins and ...

Cis and trans effects differentially contribute to the evolution of promoters and enhancers
Background Gene expression differences between species are driven by both cis and trans effects. Whereas cis effects are caused by genetic variants located on the same DNA molecule as the target gene, trans effects are due to genetic variants that affect

Trans-activating mutations of the pseudokinase ERBB3
Abstract Genetic changes in the ERBB family of receptor tyrosine kinases serve as oncogenic driver events and predictive biomarkers for ERBB inhibitor drugs. ERBB3 is a pseudokinase member of the family that, although lacking a fully active kinase domain, is well known for its potent signaling activity as a heterodimeric complex with ERBB2 ...
