RNase P: A promising molecular target for the development of new drugs
(2004)RNase P is an ubiquitous and essential endonuclease in tRNA biogenesis, which generates the mature 5′-termini of tRNAs. RNase P activities have been identified in all three kingdoms of life (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya). ... -
Role of Arc1p in the modulation of yeast glutamyl-tRNA synthetase activity
(2005)Yeast methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) and glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) possess N-terminal extensions that bind the cofactor Arc1p in trans. The strength of GluRS-Arc1p interaction is high enough to allow copurification ... -
The role of nitric oxide donors in schizophrenia: Basic studies and clinical applications
(2015)Schizophrenia is a complex and chronic mental health disease that affects nearly 1% of the population worldwide. While the current antipsychotic medications have profoundly impacted the treatment of schizophrenia over the ... -
Seasonal cellular stress responses of commercially important invertebrates at different habitats of the North Aegean Sea
(2020)In many aquatic species, the negative effect of temperature variations has a significant impact on physiological performance since beyond Tp (upper pejus) and Tc (critical temperatures), according to the oxygen- and ... -
Transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR by CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonists
(2007)Cannabinoids have long been used as therapeutic agents. The recent identification of the endogenous cannabinoid system in the brain, namely the abundance of the CB1 receptor (CB1R) in the CNS and the discovery of the ... -
Tryptophan depletion under conditions that imitate insulin resistance enhances fatty acid oxidation and induces endothelial dysfunction through reactive oxygen species-dependent and independent pathways
(2017)In atherosclerosis-associated pathologic entities characterized by malnutrition and inflammation, l-tryptophan (TRP) levels are low. Insulin resistance is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and induces endothelial ... -
Urate crystals induce NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1β secretion and proliferation in isolated primary human T-cells
(2015)Background: Urate through NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent caspase-1 activation stimulates macrophages to secrete inteleukin-1β (IL-1β). Urate also enhances adaptive immunity ... -
Uric acid induces caspase-1 activation, IL-1β secretion and P2X7 receptor dependent proliferation in primary human lymphocytes
(2013)Background: Urate through Nacht Domain, Leucine-Rich Repeat, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NALP3) dependent caspase-1 activation stimulates macrophages to secrete inteleukin-1β (IL-1β). Purinergic receptor P2X7 ... -
We are what we eat: Ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) modulation through dietary products
(2020)During lifetime, the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for cellular defense against adverse conditions such as oxidative and heat stress tend to be less efficient, thus gradually leading to the natural phenomenon ...
