Molecular Approaches to Urea Transporters [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
Urea plays a critical role in the urine-concentrating mechanism in the inner medulla. Physiologic data provided evidence that urea transport in red blood cells and kidney inner medulla was mediated by specific urea transporter proteins. Molecular approaches during the past decade resulted in the cloning of two gene families for facilitated urea ...

Functional expression of cAMP-dependent and independent urea transporters in Xenopus oocytes

, 1993
Facilitated transport of urea by the inner medullary collecting duct in kidney is important for the urinary concentrating mechanism. To examine the nature and tissue distribution of urea transporters, mRNA was isolated from different tissues and ...

Self‐Assembled Calcite Architectures for Programmable Information Storage

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Programmable biomineralization enables the formation of 3D calcite architectures that encode information through spatially defined refractive‐index modulations. Data are written via laser‐directed mineralization, stored in stable voxelized mineral structures, and retrieved non‐destructively through optical diffraction, offering a pathway toward ultra ...

Analysis and update of the human solute carrier (SLC) gene superfamily

Human Genomics, 2009
The solute-carrier gene (SLC) superfamily encodes membrane-bound transporters. The SLC superfamily comprises 55 gene families having at least 362 putatively functional protein-coding genes.

Agnuside Stabilizes the Complex I Assembly Factor NDUFAF6 to Reinforce Mitochondrial Efficiency and Thermogenic Responsiveness

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brown and beige adipocytes dissipate energy as heat, yet effective strategies to enhance their mitochondrial efficiency remain limited. Here, we identify Agnuside (AGN) as a selective stabilizer of the complex I assembly factor NDUFAF6. AGN directly binds cytosolic NDUFAF6, suppresses its ubiquitination, prolongs its half‐life, and facilitates

The Helicobacter pylori VacA toxin is a urea permease that promotes urea diffusion across epithelia [PDF]

, 2001
Urease and the cytotoxin VacA are two major virulence factors of the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which is responsible for severe gastroduodenal diseases.

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

Massive reduction of urea transporters in remnant kidney and brain of uremic rats

, 2000
Massive reduction of urea transporters in remnant kidney and brain of uremic rats.BackgroundThe facilitated urea transporters (UT), UT-A1, UT-A2, and UT-B1, are involved in intrarenal recycling of urea, an essential feature of the urinary concentrating ...

Covalent Inhibition of SHMT2 by Gambogic Acid Induces Ferroptosis Through Mitochondrial Collapse in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, chemoproteomics combined with genetic and functional analyses was integrated to identify SHMT2 as a covalent and functional target of gambogic acid (GA) in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). Further validation demonstrated that GA selectively modifies the Cys241 site of SHMT2, triggering mitochondrial dysfunction, activating the Nrf2 ...

Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...
