  In the current study, we report the properties of P. anserina mutants carrying mutations in a gene encoding the bi-functional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2). This enzyme catalyzes two opposite reactions (Pilkis et al., 1995, Rider et al., 2004): synthesi

  Acknowledgements Introduction Histamine mediates various physiological functions and pathological actions through its interactions with histamine receptors that belong to the superfamily of seven transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) (Haas et al., 2008). Four histamine receptor subty

  Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins have become attractive targets for anti-cancer agents development, because they are associated with progression of a wide variety of human cancers., , The small-molecular Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax (ABT-199) () has been approved recently for the treatment of patients w

  The imidazopyridines and related imidazopyrimidines – and – were constructed from the key amine intermediates – ( X=CH and Ar=2-FPh, X=N and Ar=2-FPh, X=CH and Ar=5-pyrimidine, X=CH and Ar=2-methyl-5-pyrimidine, and X=CF and Ar=2-methyl-5-pyrimidine). These were synthesized a modified Horner–Em

  2022-01-10

  

  Lactate-induced GPR81 activation was confirmed with a fluorimetric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) assay, in which lactate induced a [Ca2+] flux in CHO cells stably expressing Gqi5 and HA-GPR81 but not vector control (Fig. 1C). The EC50 of lactate in the FLIPR assay was 4.3±0.73mM, a value well within

  2022-01-10

  

  Continuing studies of endocannabinoid ligands at GPR55 reveal that virodhamine (O-arachidonylethanolamine) and AEA can act as a partial agonists at GPR55; at high micromolar concentrations can inhibit β-arrestin recruitment (Sharir et al., 2012). It is likely that there are allosteric as well as ort

  Introduction Although G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) was considered a cannabinoid receptor, it differs phylogenetically from cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2) receptors as it lacks the classic cannabinoid-binding pocket (Baker et al., 2006). GPR55 is sensitive to an array of cannabin

  Previously, we reported that the inhibition of PKC-ζ and PKC-ε activity in hypertrophic adipocytes had deleterious effects on EPA-induced GPR120-mediated VEGF-A production [12]. However, the activation of PKC-θ, -ζ and -λ can also enhance the phosphorylation of IKK and p65, and facilitate the transl

  2022-01-10

  

  Recently, a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR109a, was identified as a molecular target for niacin. Following this breakthrough, our group initiated a drug discovery program focused on the development of a high affinity ‘flush-free’ niacin-like agonist. Previously, we reported on the identification of

  Rapid action of E2 on GnRH neurons has been known for some time. E2 hyperpolarizes guinea pig GnRH neurons, alters cAMP production in GT1-cells and stimulates or inhibits [Ca2+]i oscillations within 15 min (Lagrange et al., 1995; Navarro et al., 2003; Temple et al., 2004; Romanò et al., 2008). Impor

  The need for an ‘inflammatory risk profile’ was recently discussed by several investigators. The present study is all the more significant in that it shows that a phenomenon that is influenced by various atherosclerotic risk factors and acute phase proteins is, indeed, associated with a less favora

  A myriad of receptors in WM To complicate the picture, WM glia express numerous non-glutamatergic neurotransmitter receptors, a fact that is often underappreciated when considering pathophysiology. When examined in isolated optic nerve, a central WM tract completely devoid of neuronal synapses, r

  Conclusions Temporally-controlled disruption of Gcgr reveals a lack meaningful contribution to the improvement of glycemic control in insulinopenic conditions attributable to the intrinsic loss of GCGR signaling. On the other hand, these data highlight the importance of compensatory systems, incl

  Despite potent biological actions, the native hormone undergoes degradation by the enzyme dipeptidylpeptidase-IV (DPP-IV) [17] and is rapidly cleared from the bloodstream by renal filtration [18]. One such approach to prolong the biological half-life of GIP is through conjugation with a polyethylene
