The Role of DNA Methyltransferases in Urinary System Diseases. [PDF]
Multiple signaling pathways mediated by DNMTs in the formation of renal fibrosis: (a) DNMTs suppress the expression of transcription factor KLF4 by mediating promoter hypermethylation, thereby promoting epithelial–mesenchymal transition and contributing to the development of renal fibrosis; (b) oxidative stress can upregulate the levels of DNMTs, which

The Urea Carboxylase and Allophanate Hydrolase Activities of Urea Amidolyase Are Functionally Independent [PDF]
Urea amidolyase (UAL) is a multifunctional biotin-dependent enzyme that contributes to both bacterial and fungal pathogenicity by catalyzing the ATP-dependent cleavage of urea into ammonia and CO2.

WWOX Modulates ROS-Dependent Senescence in Bladder Cancer
The tumor-suppressor gene, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX), has been found to be lost in various types of cancers. ROS result as a tightly regulated signaling process for the induction of cell senescence.

Neurological Disorders Associated with WWOX Germline Mutations—A Comprehensive Overview
The transcriptional regulator WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) is a key player in a number of cellular and biological processes including tumor suppression. Recent evidence has emerged associating WWOX with non-cancer disorders.

The oxygen-independent metabolism of cyclic monoterpenes in Castellaniella defragrans 65Phen [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The facultatively anaerobic betaproteobacterium Castellaniella defragrans 65Phen utilizes acyclic, monocyclic and bicyclic monoterpenes as sole carbon source under oxic as well as anoxic conditions.

The key role of nitric oxide in hypoxia: hypoxic vasodilation and energy supply-demand matching [PDF]
Significance: a mismatch between energy supply and demand induces tissue hypoxia with the potential to cause cell death and organ failure. Whenever arterial oxygen concentration is reduced, increases in blood flow - 'hypoxic vasodilation' - occur in an ...
