  VMD v1.9.2 (Humphrey et al., 1996) was used to analyze the MD trajectories, salt bridge interactions and secondary structure information from each frame. Once the model was optimized, the topological diagram and area and volume of protein cavities were analyzed using PDBsum (Laskowski, 2009) and CAS

  2020-04-22

  

  Immunomodulation effects of certain oxysterols were previously shown to depend on activation of oxysterol-binding liver X receptors (LXRs). Recent work from our labs as well as from others has shown additional receptors linking oxysterols and immunity. For example, we found that 7α,25-dihydroxychole

  In order to assess quantitatively the contribution of the ung, dug and dut cysteine protease to uracil-DNA accumulation in E. coli, we have developed a novel method for measuring uracil residues in DNA that is based on the approach of Kow and co-workers [33] for measuring AP-sites in DNA. The metho

  Methods Results First, we compared Aβ plaque number, Aβ concentration, and neurobehavior functions between naive APP/PS1 and APP/PS1xEP1−/− mice. Significantly lower Aβ burden in APP/PS1xEP1−/− mice was evidenced by fewer plaques in the hippocampal area and a lower concentration of soluble Aβ42

  O-GlcNAc transferase OGT belongs to the metal-independent GT-B superfamily of glycosyltransferases, which has been well-reviewed previously [14,15]. OGT is an essential gene encoded on the X-chromosome, and it has two main regions: a long N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) region and a C-t

  Activatable MRI probes MRI is commonly used in clinics around the world and has the advantages of outstanding tissue-penetration depth and extremely high spatial resolution for in vivo imaging [33]. MRI has relatively poor sensitivity and usually requires 78 4 agents to enhance the imaging contr

  Future directions The proposed membrane topology model of DGAT1 has only three TMDs, with the N-terminus oriented toward the cytosol and the C-terminus in the ER lumen. The catalytic activity is exclusively on the luminal side of the ER membrane. The second and third TM domains are only about 10

  At the cellular level, TGF-β1 has been involved in the formation of invadosomes (Mandal et al., 2008, Varon et al., 2006). Invadosomes are actin-based structures involved in matrix degradation and cell invasion through metalloproteinases (MMP) activity (Linder et al., 2011). Invadosomes, constitutiv

  Distribution of DGTS in basidiomycete fungi has been demonstrated to be heterogeneous. In certain fungal taxons, such as Agaricales, Polyporales and Russulales, there are species that synthesize and species that do not synthesize DGTS that belong to the same order or even family (Dembitsky, 1996, Va

  Another novel finding of our study was that the global 5 hmC was down-regulated and was associated with a substantial reduction of TET expression in the PE placentas compared with the controls. The decreased global 5 hmC level was consistent with the increased global 5 mC level in the preeclamptic p
