2021-01-23
One common method to replace the wet limestone process is the use of an amine-based solution as an absorbent to capture SO2. However, almost all of the common amine-based absorbents are highly volatile compounds, whose emissions are air pollutants themselves. Therefore, it is desirable to either use

2021-01-23
Emi2 protein consists of an N-terminal regulatory region and a C-terminal functional region. The C-terminal region contains a destruction box (D-box), which likely competes with APC/C substrates (including cyclin B) for APC/C binding, and a zinc-binding region (ZBR), which somehow inhibits APC/C ubi

2021-01-23
The Liver X Receptor-α and -β (LXRs, NR1H3 and NR1H2, respectively) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily that play a central role in controlling cholesterol homeostasis [9], [10]. In macrophages, LXRs can decrease the cellular sterol burden by inducing expression of the cholesterol efflux

2021-01-22
Introduction In most of the angiosperms, sexual reproduction requires a process called double fertilization where the specialized cell division called meiosis produces haploid gametes combine to form diploid (2n) embryo. In SJB3-019A to this, apomixis, naturally occurs in at least 400 plant fami

2021-01-22
The larger eukaryotic ligases, such as LigI and LigIV, also possess an additional N-terminal DNA-binding domain (DBD) that is required for efficient ligation (Fig. 1c) and enables these ligases to encircle DNA [17]. An equivalent helix–hairpin–helix domain is also present in the bacterial NAD-depend

2021-01-22
In this study, using REMD with the crystal environment, we investigate the effect of cryo-cooling on the crystal structure of Escherichia coli DHFR. DHFR is an important model enzyme (for review, see, e.g., (30)), and has been studied for decades (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43).

2021-01-22
— Δ1-KSTDs are generally reported to be intracellular enzymes, either soluble or bound to subcellular particles. For instance, the enzymes from C. testosteroni ATCC 11996 and ATCC 17410 [50,90,99], R. equi [29], and N. simplex ATCC 6946 [52] were particulate-bound. On the other hand, the Δ1-KSTDs f

2021-01-22
In addition to an action via P2Y receptors, extracellular UDP activates GPCRs for cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT1, CysLT2; Mellor et al., 2001, 2003). GPR17 has been reported to function as a receptor for cysteinyl leukotrienes and uracil nucleotides (Boda et al., 2011; Fumagalli et al., 2011; but se

CYP3A is involved in the metabolism of approximately 50% of all drugs that are currently prescribed to patients [1], [15], [16]. Marked interindividual variabilitity of the catalytic function for metabolizing CYP3A substrates has been demonstrated with variability exceeding 20-fold [1]. Levonorgestr

Materials and methods Results Discussion In this study, we uncovered a female-specific haplotype-MDD vulnerability association, by which a two-marker haplotype TG of rs4633-rs4680 may link to enhanced MDD risk in females. Female haplotype TG carriers were estimated to have a 9.17-fold incre

The genetic basis of resistance to dieldrin has been described for several insect species as a mutation in the transmembrane domain II of the GABA-Cl or rdl (resistance to dieldrin) gene (ffrench-Constant et al., 2004; Bass et al., 2004; Du et al., 2005). A mutation in the GABA-Cl gene was found at

2021-01-22
HOIP's ability to build linear Ub chains arises from a unique domain that follows directly after the RING2 domain, the linear ubiquitin chain-determining domain (LDD) (Fig. 1). Structures have revealed that the LDD is structurally integrated into RING2, creating a single RING2–LDD unit (Fig. 2D) [40

Ubiquitylation of the TGFβ/BMP pathway components Ubiquitylation is a reversible post-translational modification that is essential in many cellular regulatory mechanisms [20], [21]. During the ubiquitylation cascade, ubiquitin is attached to target proteins through the concerted actions of an E1-
