  • These results suggest that Flcn-FnipL/Fnip2 and Flcn-Fnip1 complexes positively regulate S6K1 phosphorylation and that FnipL/Fnip2 provides an important clue to elucidating the function of Flcn and the pathogenesis of BHD. (nih.gov)
  • These unusual ORFs are maternally inherited, and effectively translated into novel mitochondrial proteins, with the resulting failure to produce functional pollen as the sole observed phenotype ( Chen and Liu, 2014 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • Conversely, maternal cytosine methylation is protected from hydroxylation by the PGC7/Dppa3/Stella protein and methylation pattern is effectively maintained. (i-sis.org.uk)
  • Importantly, the CALR-sTFR1 complex remains functional for TpoR activation. (ox.ac.uk)
  • 1999 ) provided evidence that p75 NTR can regulate axon extension by signaling through the RhoA pathway, such that the unbound state of p75 NTR activates RhoA, whereas neurotrophin binding to p75 NTR terminates this mode of RhoA activation. (jneurosci.org)
  • As you can see, the production, distribution and activation of thyroid hormone is complex and involves several other organs and tissues other than the thyroid gland itself. (chriskresser.com)
  • This protein family is largely expanded in land plant genomes. (frontiersin.org)
  • The Begley Group is interested in the mechanistic chemistry and enzymology of complex organic transformations, particularly those found on the vitamin biosynthetic pathways. (tamu.edu)
  • CFE reactions based on the use of Escherichia coli can quickly synthesize grams of protein per liter in batch reactions, are scalable from the nanoliter to 100-L scale, and can be freeze-dried for months of shelf stability. (scienceboard.net)
  • These are different from that previously described for Escherichia coli Ni-BP NikA, known to bind nickel via a nickelophore, and indicate a variegated ligand selectivity for Ni-BPs. (rcsb.org)
  • Secretory proteins exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in coat protein complex II (COPII)-coated vesicles and then progress through the Golgi complex before delivery to their final destination. (biologists.com)
  • It is a local immune complex reaction occurring in the skin. (ncertmcq.com)
  • Carbohydrate, fat, or protein malabsorption is caused by a disorder in the intestinal processes of digestion, transport, or both of these nutrients across the intestinal mucosa into the systemic circulation. (medscape.com)
  • DJBP mRNA was found to be specifically expressed in the testis. (nih.gov)
  • Biodistribution of onasemnogene abeparvovec DNA, mRNA and SMN protein in human tissue. (harvard.edu)
  • Expression of mouse zonadhesin mRNA is evident only within the testis, and the protein is found exclusively on the apical region of the sperm head. (embl.de)
  • To further characterize the function of DJ-1, we cloned cDNA encoding a novel DJ-1-binding protein, DJBP, by a yeast two-hybrid system. (nih.gov)
  • What complicates matters is that every known epigenetic information carrier interacts with every other carrier. (i-sis.org.uk)
  • As adhesion to host tissues is essential for many gastro-intestinal pathogens, the paradigm of competitive exclusion through competition for binding sites has evolved. (biomedcentral.com)
  • By controlling access to the brain, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts the entry of proteins and potential drugs to cerebral tissues. (aspetjournals.org)
  • The biological functions of Lactobacillus S-layer proteins (Slp:s) are not well understood. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Alternatively, indirect conjugates encompass those in which two or more components are joined via an intermediary complex involving a biological macromolecule. (justia.com)
  • They found that upstream extract processing (cell lysis) can be used to tune vesicle concentration. (scienceboard.net)
  • Typically, proteins spontaneously find their fold - chaperones just assist them by making the process more effective and keeping the protein away from interactions that would hamper folding. (mpg.de)
  • These structures thus support the hypothesis that it is subtle rearrangements, rather than dramatic conformational changes, which govern carrier protein interactions and selectivity during non-ribosomal peptide synthesis. (rcsb.org)
