  Introduction Mammalian proteases comprise both the peptidases or exopeptidases, which act at the N- or C-terminal positions of polypeptides, and proteinases or endopeptidases, which are capable of cleaving peptide bonds in the central regions of polypeptides. The endopeptidases are classified in

  Most remarkably, an essentially identical collagen-binding mode to DDR2 is employed by SPARC, an α-helical matricellular protein unrelated to DDR2 that also recognizes the GVMGFO motif in collagen (Giudici et al., 2008, Hohenester et al., 2008). The convergence of binding mechanisms suggests that th

  2020-12-15

  

  The role of activation of xenosensor nuclear receptors such as PPARα, CAR, and PXR in producing hepatomegaly and liver tumors in rodents has been well-established (Klaunig et al., 2003, Lake, 2009). In the case of PPARα, the increase in liver weight results from increased peroxisomal mass and expans

  ICT is a product of icariin via the metabolism of intestinal bacteria with estrogen-like activities [33]. ICT as a bone-protecting agent can enhance osteoblast differentiation while suppressing osteoclastic differentiation in vitro [19], and stimulate osteogenic differentiation and inhibit adipogene

  The human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptor family consists of 14 receptor subtypes to date, which are primarily G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with 5-HT3 being the sole ligand-gated ion channel (Alexander et al., 2017). These receptors are widely distributed in the central and per

  The folate pathway plays an essential role in cell survival by generating 5, 10-methylene tetrahydrofolate as a one-carbon donor for the synthesis of deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), purines, methionine and histidine. Disruption of this pathway leads to the critical deficiency of these key molec

  Widely expressed mammalian adhesion receptors for fibrillar collagens include the α2β1- and α11β1-integrins and the discoidin domain receptors (DDRs), DDR1 and DDR2 (Leitinger, 2011). Integrins and DDRs bind distinct and separate motifs in native fibrillar collagen (Curat et al., 2001, Vogel et al.,

  In conclusion, our work led to the characterization of some signalling events of the CysLT1 receptor variants, at several levels, and showed that a punctual serine mutation could alter the response of receptors to cysLTs. Although atopy is a complex phenotype implicating different cell types, mediat

  The large body of structural knowledge that is currently available for CRM1 has contributed to atomic level and mechanistic understanding of many steps in the CRM1 nuclear export cycle. However, structural analysis could still inform on several outstanding questions and guide future discoveries pert

  CRF binds to CRF1 and CRF2 receptor subtypes, triggering downstream cascades and leading to stimulatory G protein (GsP) activation. Once activated, GsP undergoes a structural change provoking the separation of the subunits Gα and Gβγ. The Gα subunit induces the production of the second messenger cAM
