Structure-function study of ubiquitin c-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) by NMR spectroscopy - insights into UCH-L1 mutation's association with the risk of Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Poster Presentation: P72Protein ubiquitination and deubiquitination, play important roles in many aspects of cellular mechanisms. Its defective regulation results in diseases that range from developmental abnormalities to neurodegenerative diseases and ...

Identification of key structural elements for neuronal calcium sensor-1 function in the regulation of the temperature-dependency of locomotion in C. elegans [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intracellular Ca(2+) regulates many aspects of neuronal function through Ca(2+) binding to EF hand-containing Ca(2+) sensors that in turn bind target proteins to regulate their function.

Expression and function of transient receptor potential channels in the female bovine reproductive tract [PDF]
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. The epithelium lining the oviduct is critical for early reproductive events, many of which are mediated via intracellular calcium ions.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate-induced nociceptor excitation and ongoing pain behavior in mice and humans is largely mediated by S1P3 receptor [PDF]
The biolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an essential modulator of innate immunity, cell migration, and wound healing. It is released locally upon acute tissue injury from endothelial cells and activated thrombocytes and, therefore, may give rise to

Regulatory role of proheparanase with peri-synaptic heparan sulfate proteoglycan and AMPA-type glutamate receptor in synaptic plasticity [PDF]
Poster Presentation: P59AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPAR) govern excitatory synaptic transmission. Perineuronal heparan sulfates (HS) have been implicated in controlling the open-state of AMPAR.

Ionic Mechanisms of Spinal Neuronal Cold Hypersensitivity in Ciguatera [PDF]
Cold hypersensitivity is evident in a range of neuropathies and can evoke sensations of paradoxical burning cold pain. Ciguatoxin poisoning is known to induce a pain syndrome caused by consumption of contaminated tropical fish that can persist for months
