A key function for microtubule-associated-protein 6 in activity-dependent stabilisation of actin filaments in dendritic spines
(Nature Publishing, 2018-09-17)
Emerging evidence indicates that microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are implicated in synaptic function; in particular, mice deficient for MAP6 exhibit striking deficits in plasticity and cognition. How MAP6 connects ...
Activation of the DnaK-ClpB Complex is Regulated by the Properties of the Bound Substrate
(Nature Publishing, 2018-04-11)
The chaperone ClpB in bacteria is responsible for the reactivation of aggregated proteins in collaboration with the DnaK system. Association of these chaperones at the aggregate surface stimulates ATP hydrolysis, which ...
Integrative Analysis of Transcriptomics and Clinical Data Uncovers the Tumor- Suppressive Activity of MITF in Prostate Cancer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-11)
The dysregulation of gene expression is an enabling hallmark of cancer. Computational analysis of transcriptomics data from human cancer specimens, complemented with exhaustive clinical annotation, provides an opportunity ...
Apaf-1 Inhibitors Protect from Unwanted Cell Death in In Vivo Models of Kidney Ischemia and Chemotherapy Induced Ototoxicity
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-20)
Background: Excessive apoptosis induces unwanted cell death and promotes pathological conditions. Drug discovery efforts aimed at decreasing apoptotic damage initially targeted the inhibition of effector caspases. Although ...
Unravelling the role of Nuclear Membrane dynamics in the behaviour of cancer cells. A multidisciplinary approach using cell biology, advanced imaging and biophysics
(2019-12-19)
Malformación de la membrana de núcleos esta observada en casos de distrofia muscular, así como en ciertos tipos de cáncer, como el de mama o el de riñones. Los mecanismos que intervienen en la integridad de eta membrana ...
Kv7 Channels Can Function without Constitutive Calmodulin Tethering
(Public Library of Science, 2011-09-28)
M-channels are voltage-gated potassium channels composed of Kv7.2-7.5 subunits that serve as important regulators of neuronal excitability. Calmodulin binding is required for Kv7 channel function and mutations in Kv7.2 ...
ATP Antagonizes Thrombin-Induced Signal Transduction through 12(S)-HETE and cAMP
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
In this study we have investigated the role of extracellular ATP on thrombin induced-platelet aggregation (TIPA) in washed human platelets. ATP inhibited TIPA in a dose-dependent manner and this inhibition was abolished ...
Glia-Retinal Ganglion Cell Interactions ins the Mammalian Retina: A Neuroprotetive Approach.
(2017-07-03)
Las células ganglionares de la retina (RGCs) son las neuronas responsables de la comunicación entre el ojo y el cerebro, y su muerte puede causar una ceguera irreversible, como ocurre en el glaucoma. Las RGCs se encuentran ...
Seroprevalence of Triatoma virus (Dicistroviridae: Cripaviridae) antibodies in Chagas disease patients
(Biomed Central, 2015-01-17)
Background: Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, and humans acquire the parasite by exposure to contaminated feces from hematophagous insect vectors known as triatomines. Triatoma virus (TrV) is the sole viral ...
Transcription Factor Binding Site Enrichment Analysis In Co-Expression Modules In Celiac Disease
(MDPI, 2018-05-10)
The aim of this study was to construct celiac co-expression patterns at a whole genome level and to identify transcription factors (TFs) that could drive the gliadin-related changes in coordination of gene expression ...
