  • Thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip) inhibits the activity of thioredoxin (Trx) to modulate inflammatory responses. (frontiersin.org)
  • Corticosterone increases protein tyrosine kinase activity in the locus coeruleus and other monoaminergic nuclei of rat brain. (aspetjournals.org)
  • Oxidized protein substrates induced higher proteolytic activity than unmodified proteins. (lu.se)
  • The sAPP peptide may also control the function of certain other proteins by turning off (inhibiting) their activity. (medlineplus.gov)
  • So it is likely that a similar mechanism exists to regulate editing in humans," said Dr. Hundley, adding that she and colleagues will now turn to teasing out the specifics of how proteins like ADR-1 regulate editing and how they might be exploited "to modulate editing for the treatment of human diseases.

  • So what is the mechanism that plants adopt to maintain an appropriate ubiquitination level of key proteins? (phys.org)
  • Here we investigated the role of IPO13 in the pathogenesis of pterygium and the underlying mechanism including interaction with other cell proliferation-related factors: keratin 17 (K17), a lesional protein and a member of the type I keratins, and c-Jun, a protein of the activator protein-1 complex.
