Apical membrane P2Y4 purinergic receptor controls K+ secretion by strial marginal cell epithelium
Background It was previously shown that K+ secretion by strial marginal cell epithelium is under the control of G-protein coupled receptors of the P2Y family in the apical membrane.

Feeding behavior in juvenile snook, Centropomus undecimalis. I. Individual effect of some chemical substances [PDF]
This study was designed to analyze the influence of certain chemical substances on the feeding behavior of juvenile common snook. The following chemicals were tested: L-alanine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-glutamic acid, glycine, L-proline, L-histidine, L-

This study presents a method for precise control of RIG‐I (retinoic acid inducible gene I), an innate immune receptor of RNA that, when activated, induces anti‐tumor immune responses and cancer cell death. By incorporating photocage modifications into RNA ligands, we enable a spatially and temporally regulated immune response and offer a targeted ...

Gastric cancer (GC) is the one of the most prevalent cancers and one of the leading causes of cancer-induced deaths. Previously, we found that the expression of purinergic P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) is increased in GC samples as compared to adjacent healthy ...

Development of Carbon-Fiber Electrodes Modified for Electrochemical ATP Detection [PDF]
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a highly energetic molecule used as a coenzyme in the transfer of chemical energy required for the continuation of cellular metabolism. In addition, extracellular ATP has an important role in cell-to-cell communication in immune, nervous and vascular systems.

ATP- and Polyphosphate-Dependent Glucokinases from Aerobic Methanotrophs
The genes encoding adenosine triphosphate (ATP)- and polyphosphate (polyP)-dependent glucokinases (Glk) were identified in the aerobic obligate methanotroph Methylomonas sp. 12. The recombinant proteins were obtained by the heterologous expression of the

Coulomb Interaction as the Source of Muscle Force [PDF]
Myosin motor is the machine, which performs mechanical work in the course of adenosine triphosphate molecule hydrolysis and myosin head conformations accompanying this process. For displacement of individual fragments of large molecule relative to each other to arise and work to be performed, force must be born inside protein.

Effects of pH on Olfactory Behaviours in Male Shore Crabs, Carcinus maenas
The effects of climate change are becoming more apparent, predominantly concerning the impacts of ocean acidification on calcifying species. Many marine organisms rely on chemical signals for processes such as foraging for food, predator avoidance, or ...

Functional and genetic evidence that nucleoside transport is highly conserved in Leishmania species: Implications for pyrimidine-based chemotherapy [PDF]
Leishmania pyrimidine salvage is replete with opportunities for therapeutic intervention with enzyme inhibitors or antimetabolites. Their uptake into cells depends upon specific transporters; therefore it is essential to establish whether various ...
