  2023-10-18

  

  In this study, using pure enzyme preparations of human placental recombinant AR (hAR) and of AR isolated from bovine lens (bAR), which behave as Michaelis SM-164 with glyceraldehyde as substrate, is shown that an apparent negative cooperativity action for glucose still occurs. We present evidence fo

  2023-10-18

  

  According to their structures and substrate specificity, MMPs are divided into five major groups: collagenases (e.g., MMP1), gelatinases (e.g., MMP2, MMP9), stromelysins (e.g., MMP3, MMP10), matrilysins (e.g., MMP7), and membrane-type MMPs [7]. Among them, MMP1 is a major collagenase that degrades t

• In humans the major LOs are subdivided

  2023-10-18

  

  In humans, the major LOs are subdivided by their positional specificity into 5-(ALOX5), 12-(ALOX12) and 15-LO (ALOX15) (Kuhn et al., 2015). 5-LO is the key enzyme for LT biosynthesis and mainly found in mature cells from myeloid origin, including neutrophil, eosinophil and basophil granulocytes, mon

  2023-10-18

  

  A promising target that is involved in the biosynthesis of the precursor LTA4 is the 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP), which in vivo is seemingly indispensable for LT formation [8], [9]. FLAP, a member of the MAPEG family (membrane-associated proteins in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism), is an i

  In conclusion, we have produced some highly potent inhibitors of P450 in comparison to the standard antibiotics KTZ. Also, due to the limited specificity of these compounds against lyase in comparison to the 17α-OHase component, these compounds would be expected to have a major impact on corticoste

• The first description of autophagy as a tumour suppression

  2023-10-18

  

  The first description of autophagy as a tumour suppression process arises from the observation that the initial step regulatory gene, Atg6/BECN1, was monoallelically lost in 40% to 75% of human prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers [31]. However, while BECN1 heterozygous mutant mice develop, with lo

• Acl converts cytosolic citrate CoA and ATP

  2023-10-18

  

  Acl converts cytosolic citrate, CoA and ATP into acetyl-CoA, ADP+Pi and oxaloacetate (Fig. 1). This cytosolic enzyme is present in few Prokaryotes and in all Eukaryotes, but not in non-oleaginous yeasts [14]. Thus, this enzyme was presumed to be essential for FA synthesis [1], [13], [15]. In most mi

  Hsp56 (also called FK506-binding protein 52, FKBP52) is one of the steroid receptor-associated immunophilins with tetratricopeptide repeat domains, which serve as binding sites for Hsp90 (Peattie et al., 1992). Hsp56 is elevated in breast cancer compared with normal breast tissue (Ward et al., 1999)

  The association of male gender with increased atherosclerosis has stimulated interest in the role of androgen signalling in this condition. Androgens act (Fig. 2) by direct activation of androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear receptor that acts as a ligand-regulated transcription factor (Gao et al., 2005

  Introduction It is well known that when epithelial cells are deprived of anchorage, they undergo detachment-induced apoptosis, also known as anoikis. Cancer cells, by contrast, are able to suppress anoikis and survive under anchorage -independent conditions in the circulating system, which is tho
