Identification of APC2, a homologue of the adenomatous polyposis coli tumour suppressor. (1/8246)

The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumour-suppressor protein controls the Wnt signalling pathway by forming a complex with glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta), axin/conductin and betacatenin. Complex formation induces the rapid degradation of betacatenin. In colon carcinoma cells, loss of APC leads to the accumulation of betacatenin in the nucleus, where it binds to and activates the Tcf-4 transcription factor (reviewed in [1] [2]). Here, we report the identification and genomic structure of APC homologues. Mammalian APC2, which closely resembles APC in overall domain structure, was functionally analyzed and shown to contain two SAMP domains, both of which are required for binding to conductin. Like APC, APC2 regulates the formation of active betacatenin-Tcf complexes, as demonstrated using transient transcriptional activation assays in APC -/- colon carcinoma cells. Human APC2 maps to chromosome 19p13.3. APC and APC2 may therefore have comparable functions in development and cancer.  (+info)

Structural basis of profactor D activation: from a highly flexible zymogen to a novel self-inhibited serine protease, complement factor D. (2/8246)

The crystal structure of profactor D, determined at 2.1 A resolution with an Rfree and an R-factor of 25.1 and 20.4%, respectively, displays highly flexible or disordered conformation for five regions: N-22, 71-76, 143-152, 187-193 and 215-223. A comparison with the structure of its mature serine protease, complement factor D, revealed major conformational changes in the similar regions. Comparisons with the zymogen-active enzyme pairs of chymotrypsinogen, trypsinogen and prethrombin-2 showed a similar distribution of the flexible regions. However, profactor D is the most flexible of the four, and its mature enzyme displays inactive, self-inhibited active site conformation. Examination of the surface properties of the N-terminus-binding pocket indicates that Ile16 may play the initial positioning role for the N-terminus, and Leu17 probably also helps in inducing the required conformational changes. This process, perhaps shared by most chymotrypsinogen-like zymogens, is followed by a factor D-unique step, the re-orientation of an external Arg218 to an internal position for salt-bridging with Asp189, leading to the generation of the self-inhibited factor D.  (+info)

The virulence plasmid-encoded impCAB operon enhances survival and induced mutagenesis in Shigella flexneri after exposure to UV radiation. (3/8246)

Upon exposure to UV radiation, Shigella flexneri SA100 displayed survival and mutation frequencies comparable to those of Escherichia coli AB1157, which contains a functional UmuDC error-prone DNA repair system. Survival of SA100 after UV irradiation was associated with the presence of the 220-kb virulence plasmid, pVP. This plasmid encodes homologues of ImpA and ImpB, which comprise an error-prone DNA repair system encoded on plasmid TP110 that was initially identified in Salmonella typhimurium, and ImpC, encoded upstream of ImpA and ImpB. Although the impB gene was present in representatives of all four species of Shigella, not all isolates tested contained the gene. Shigella isolates that lacked impB were more sensitive to UV radiation than isolates that contained impB. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.4-kb DNA fragment containing the imp operon from S. flexneri SA100 pVP was 96% identical to the imp operon from the plasmid TP110. An SA100 derivative with a mutation in the impB gene had reduced survival following UV irradiation and less UV-induced mutagenesis relative to the parental strain. We also found that S. flexneri contained a chromosomally encoded umuDC operon; however, the umuDC promoter was not induced by exposure to UV radiation. This suggests that the imp operon but not the umuDC operon contributes to survival and induced mutagenesis in S. flexneri following exposure to UV radiation.  (+info)

Alternating antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody specificity: drug-induced vasculitis in a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis. (4/8246)

We describe a patient who presented with Wegener's granulomatosis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) directed against proteinase 3 (PR3) with a cytoplasmic immunofluorescence pattern (cANCA), whose ANCA type changed to antimyeloperoxidase antibodies with a perinuclear immunofluorescence pattern (pANCA) when treated with propylthiouracil, and changed back to anti-PR3 antibodies with cANCA after the medication was discontinued. The patient developed flares of vasculitis symptoms associated with rises in either type of ANCA. Tests for antimyeloperoxidase ANCA were repeatedly negative before the drug was started, strongly implicating the drug as the cause of the episode. This case demonstrates that patients with idiopathic ANCA-positive vasculitis may quickly develop a superimposed drug-associated ANCA-positive vasculitis. Iatrogenic vasculitis should be suspected when a patient with idiopathic vasculitis with one type of ANCA develops the other type of ANCA.  (+info)

An Arabidopsis 14-3-3 protein can act as a transcriptional activator in yeast. (5/8246)

The 14-3-3 proteins are a group of highly conserved and widely distributed eukaryotic proteins with diverse functions. One 14-3-3 protein, AFT1 from Arabidopsis thaliana, was found to be able to activate transcription in yeast. When fused to the DNA-binding domain of a bacterial protein LexA, AFT1 can activate transcription of reporter genes that contain LexA operator sequences in their promoters. Although the in vivo function of AFT1 is not completely known, its similarity to previously identified proteins found in transcription complexes of Arabidopsis and maize suggests that AFT1 and some other 14-3-3 proteins may activate gene expression in other systems as well.  (+info)

Dengue virus NS3 serine protease. Crystal structure and insights into interaction of the active site with substrates by molecular modeling and structural analysis of mutational effects. (6/8246)

The mosquito-borne dengue viruses are widespread human pathogens causing dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome, placing 40% of the world's population at risk with no effective treatment. The viral genome is a positive strand RNA that encodes a single polyprotein precursor. Processing of the polyprotein precursor into mature proteins is carried out by the host signal peptidase and by NS3 serine protease, which requires NS2B as a cofactor. We report here the crystal structure of the NS3 serine protease domain at 2.1 A resolution. This structure of the protease combined with modeling of peptide substrates into the active site suggests identities of residues involved in substrate recognition as well as providing a structural basis for several mutational effects on enzyme activity. This structure will be useful for development of specific inhibitors as therapeutics against dengue and other flaviviral proteases.  (+info)

Bile duct epithelial cells exposed to alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate produce a factor that causes neutrophil-dependent hepatocellular injury in vitro. (7/8246)

The acute hepatotoxicity induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) in rats is manifested as neutrophil-dependent necrosis of bile duct epithelial cells (BDECs) and hepatic parenchymal cells. This hepatotoxicity mirrors that of drug-induced cholangiolitic hepatitis in humans. Since BDECs are primary targets of ANIT-induced toxicity, we hypothesized that after exposure to ANIT, BDECs produce a factor(s) that causes neutrophil chemotaxis and neutrophil-dependent hepatocellular injury. To test this hypothesis BDECs were isolated from male Sprague Dawley rats and incubated with ANIT (6.25, 12.5, 25, or 50 microM) or vehicle for 24 h. The conditioned medium (CM) was collected and placed in the bottom chamber of a two-chambered chemotaxis system, while isolated neutrophils were placed in the top chamber. Chemotaxis was indicated by neutrophil migration through a membrane to the bottom chamber. CM from BDECs exposed to each concentration of ANIT was chemotactic, whereas CM from vehicle-treated BDECs was not. ANIT alone caused a modest degree of chemotaxis at 50 microM. The conditioned media were added to isolated hepatocytes or to hepatocyte-neutrophil cocultures and incubated for 24 h. Hepatocyte toxicity was indicated by alanine aminotransferase release into the culture medium. CM from vehicle-treated BDECs did not cause hepatocyte killing in either hepatocyte-neutrophil cocultures or hepatocyte cultures. In contrast, the addition of CM from ANIT-treated BDECs (CM-BDEC-A) to hepatocyte-neutrophil cocultures resulted in hepatocyte killing. The same CM was not cytotoxic to hepatocyte cultures devoid of neutrophils. The hepatocyte killing could not be explained by residual ANIT in the CM, which was below the limit of detection (< or = 0.5 microM). The addition of antiproteases afforded protection against neutrophil-dependent hepatocellular injury induced by CM-BDEC-A. These results indicate that ANIT causes BDECs to release a factor(s) that attracts neutrophils and stimulates them to injure hepatocytes in vitro.  (+info)

Subtilisin-like proprotein convertases, PACE4 and PC8, as well as furin, are endogenous proalbumin convertases in HepG2 cells. (8/8246)

Serum albumin is synthesized as a larger precursor form, proalbumin, which undergoes proteolytic processing at a dibasic site by a hepatic proprotein convertase within the secretory pathway to generate the mature form. Although furin, a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase (SPC) family, was thought to be the only candidate hepatic convertase for proalbumin, SPC family members other than furin were recently suggested to also be involved in proalbumin processing. This study was designed to identify the endogenous proprotein convertases involved in proalbumin processing. Since human hepatoma HepG2 cells are highly differentiated and produce major plasma proteins, this cell line was used as a model for hepatocytes. Northern blot analysis revealed that PACE4, furin and PC8 of the SPC family were expressed in HepG2 cells as well as in the liver. Ribonuclease protection assay showed that PACE4A-II mRNA is the major transcript in HepG2 cells among the PACE4 isoforms. The coexpression studies showed that furin, PACE4A-II and PC8 were all able to convert proalbumin to albumin correctly. To elucidate the roles of these endogenous SPC family members in proalbumin processing, the antisense RNA for PACE4, furin and PC8 was stably expressed in HepG2 cells, respectively. The expression of each antisense RNA resulted in approximately 30% inhibition of endogenous proalbumin processing. We therefore concluded that PACE4 and PC8, as well as furin, are involved in the processing of proalbumin in HepG2 cells, and that these SPC family members are functionally redundant in this processing.  (+info)

FSAP (Factor VII-activating protease) is a novel plasma-derived serine protease that regulates haemostasis as well as vascular cell proliferation. FSAP undergoes autoactivation in the presence of polyanionic macromolecules such as heparin and RNA. Competition experiments suggest that RNA and heparin bind to the same or overlapping interaction sites. A proteolysis approach, where FSAP was hydrolysed into smaller fragments, was used to identify the polyanion-binding site. The EGF (epidermal growth factor)-like domains EGF2 and EGF3 of FSAP are the major interaction domains for RNA. The amino acids Arg170, Arg171, Ser172 and Lys173 within the EGF3 domain were essential for this binding. This is also the region with the highest positive net charge in the protein and is most probably located in an exposed loop. It is also highly conserved across five species. Disruption of disulphide bridges led to the loss of RNA and heparin binding, indicating that the three-dimensional structure of the EGF3 domain ...
Membrane-bound serine proteases play essential assignments in different natural procedures. the Tyr deletion is in charge of the HAI-2 lack of function. Our useful assay allowed us to recognize membrane-bound serine proteases as mobile focus on for inhibition by HAI-2 outrageous type and mutants, also to better define the function from the Tyr in the next Kunitz domains in the inhibitory activity of HAI-2. Launch Membrane-bound or membrane-anchored serine proteases possess lately emerged being a subfamily of 20 serine proteases that talk about a conserved catalytic domains and a transmembrane domains [1]. They screen different pathophysiological and physiological assignments such as for example assignments in epidermis and intestinal hurdle integrity [2]C[5], handling of atrial natriuretic peptide [6], iron homeostasis [7]C[9], trophoblastic advancement [10], hearing [11], ion and [12] homeostasis [13], [14]. Even more elusive, however, will be the identity as well as the assignments of their ...
Our data also support a role for the E(zip) genes in RhoA signaling. By genetic analyses three of the E(zip) mutants encode known components of the RhoA signaling pathway (RhoGEF211-3, RhoA12-6, and zip33-1). All E(zip) mutations are strongly interactive with RhoA and, with the exception of 31-6, which is a semilethal mutation, exhibit moderate-to-strong interactions with zipEbr (Table 10). However, our interaction data suggest that the unidentified 12-5, 18-5, and 31-6 genes may not act in the same pathway as Sb-sbd during leg morphogenesis. First, weak interactions are observed between the 12-5, 18-5, and 31-6 mutants and RhoA pathway members such as DRhoGEF2, drok, and Df(2R)Jp1. In contrast Sb-sbd mutants exhibit robust interactions with drok and Df(2R)Jp1. Second, while interactions between E(zip) and Sb-sbd mutants are robust (all moderate), they are not as strong as those observed between Sb-sbd and the RhoA signaling pathway. Additional mutants and characterization of the gene products ...
The prolyl oligopeptidase family, which is a group of serine peptidases, can hydrolyze peptides smaller than 30 residues. The prolyl oligopeptidase family in plants includes four members, which are prolyl oligopeptidase (POP, EC3.4.21.26), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV, EC3.4.14.5), oligopeptidase B (OPB, EC3.4.21.83), and acylaminoacyl peptidase (ACPH, EC3.4.19.1). POP is found in human and rat, and plays important roles in multiple biological processes, such as protein secretion, maturation and degradation of peptide hormones, and neuropathies, signal transduction and memory and learning. However, the function of POP is unclear in plants. In order to study POP function in plants, we cloned the cDNA of the OsPOP5 gene from rice by nested-PCR. Sequence analysis showed that the cDNA encodes a protein of 596 amino acid residues with Mw ≈ 67.29 kD. In order to analyze the protein function under different abiotic stresses, OsPOP5 was expressed in Escherichia coli. OsPOP5 protein enhanced the

Recently, the mitochondrial serine protease High temperature requirement A2 (HtrA2)/Omi has drawn attention as it played pivotal role in different pathological conditions. We critically discussed the rationale for therapeutically targeting HtrA2 signaling in pathological conditions and explore the molecular mechanisms of HtrA2 inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy. The precise mode of action and importance of HtrA2 in mitochondrial quality control as well as in apoptosis in mammalian cells has been recently studied through biochemical, structural and genetic studies.

Hepcidin is a liver-derived hormone with a key role in iron homeostasis. In addition to iron, it is regulated by inflammation and hypoxia, although mechanisms of hypoxic regulation remain unclear. In hepatocytes, hepcidin is induced by bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) through a receptor complex requiring hemojuvelin (HJV) as a co-receptor. Type II transmembrane serine proteinase (TMPRSS6) antagonizes hepcidin induction by BMPs by cleaving HJV from the cell membrane. Inactivating mutations in TMPRSS6 lead to elevated hepcidin levels and consequent iron deficiency anemia. Here we demonstrate that TMPRSS6 is up-regulated in hepatic cell lines by hypoxia and by other activators of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). We show that TMPRSS6 expression is regulated by both HIF-1α and HIF-2α. This HIF-dependent up-regulation of TMPRSS6 increases membrane HJV shedding and decreases hepcidin promoter responsiveness to BMP signaling in hepatocytes. Our results reveal a potential role for TMPRSS6 in hepcidin

Nucleosomes may be released during cell death but may also derive from NETs that are released from neutrophils.17 It was previously demonstrated that NETs are cytotoxic when added to human alveolar epithelial cells and that histones, and not DNA, mediate the observed cytotoxic effects.18 Strikingly, anti-histone antibodies only partly neutralized the cytotoxicity of NETs, presumably because other proteins in NETs also conferred cytotoxicity. Instead, in a study by Kumar et al,48 the cytotoxicity of NETs was completely inhibited by an anti-histone antibody. The size of the chromatin fragments, presence of antimicrobial proteins, and different histone modifications that modulate chromatin condensation, and thus histone exposure, may have influenced NET cytotoxicity. Because injection of anti-histone antibodies had beneficial effects in mouse and baboon sepsis,11,49 and our results suggest that histones circulate as nucleosomes that are not cytotoxic in vitro, other mechanisms must be involved in ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - High temperature requirement A3 (HtrA3) promotes etoposide- and cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in lung cancer cell lines. AU - Beleford, Daniah. AU - Rattan, Ramandeep. AU - Chien, Jeremy. AU - Shridhar, Viji. PY - 2010/4/16. Y1 - 2010/4/16. N2 - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Here we show for the first time that HtrA3 is a mitochondrial stress-response factor that promotes cytotoxicity to etoposide and cisplatin in lung cancer cell lines. Exogenous expression of wild type HtrA3 domain variants significantly attenuated cell survival with etoposide and cisplatin treatment in lung cancer cell lines H157 and A549 compared with expression of protease inactive mutants (S305A) or vector control. Conversely, HtrA3 suppression promoted cell survival with etoposide and cisplatin treatment in lung cancer cell lines Hop62 and HCC827. Survival was attenuated by re-expression of wild type HtrA3 variants during treatment but not by protease inactive ...
Identification of the molecular nature of the barrier is still under investigation, with the consensus that a protein lipid layer, which is located in the top layers of the epidermis and TJs, plays an essential role in development of the skin barrier function (Tsuruta et al., 2002). Evidence that cornified envelope assembly is necessary for barrier development in skin is obtained from the study of transglutaminase 1-deficient mice that lack confirmed envelopes. These mice suffer from water loss, resulting in neonatal lethality (Matsuki et al., 1998). Alterations of corneocyte morphology have also been described in various mouse models with epidermal permeability barrier defects ranging from near absence in transglutaminase 1-deficient mice (Matsuki et al., 1998) to irregular shaped corneocytes (e.g., Klf4−/− mice; Segre et al., 1999). Our corneocyte phenotype mostly resembled that of matriptase/MT-SP1-deficient mice, a member of the type II transmembrane serine protease family (List et al., ...
A series of substrate analogue inhibitors of the serine protease HAT, containing a 4-amidinobenzylamide moiety as the P1 residue, was prepared. The most potent compounds possess a basic amino acid in the d-configuration as P3 residue. Whereas inhibitor 4 (K(i) 13 nM) containing proline as the P2 residue completely lacks selectivity, incorporation of norvaline leads to a potent inhibitor (15, K(i) 15 nM) with improved selectivity for HAT in comparison to the coagulation proteases thrombin and factor Xa or the fibrinolytic plasmin. Selected inhibitors were able to suppress influenza virus replication in a HAT-expressing MDCK cell model.

Campylobacter jejuni has emerged as a leading cause of bacterial enterocolitis. The serine protease HtrA has been shown to be a pivotal, novel C. jejuni virulence factor involved in cell invasion and transmigration across polarised epithelial cells in vitro. However, the functional relevance of the htrA gene for the interaction of C. jejuni with the host immune system in the infant mouse infection model has not been investigated so far. Here we studied the role of C. jejuni htrA during infection of 3-weeks-old infant mice. Immediately after weaning, conventional wild-type mice were perorally infected with the NCTC11168∆htrA mutant (∆htrA) or the parental wild-type strain. Approximately one third of infected infant mice suffered from bloody diarrhea until day 7 post infection (p.i.), whereas colonic histopathological changes were rather moderate but comparable between the two strains. Interestingly, parental, but not ∆htrA mutant infected mice, displayed a multifold increase of apoptotic cells in
Purpose : Recent studies have shown a strong association between the serine protease HtrA1 and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Increased HtrA1 expression in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) has been shown to cause extracellular matrix degradation and destabilization of the Bruchs membrane. However, little is known about functional effects of HtrA1 overexpression on RPE. To investigate these effects we established an in vitro model of polarized RPE overexpressing HtrA1 where phagocytic activity, a key function of RPE, could be assessed. Methods : Human fetal RPE cells cultured on laminin-coated transwell membranes were infected either with the wild type HtrA1- or the HtrA1 Serine-Alanine mutation (S328A)-GFP IRES construct two weeks after seeding. After five weeks of growth in vitro phagocytosis assay was performed. Thereby, cells were incubated with CY5-labelled photoreceptor outer segments (POS) isolated from porcine retinas for six hours. POS internalization was observed by live cell ...
FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the type II transmembrane serine protease class of the trypsin superfamily. Members of this family are composed of multiple structurally distinct domains. The encoded protein converts pro-atrial natriuretic peptide to biologically active atrial natriuretic peptide, a cardiac hormone that regulates blood volume and pressure.

TMPRSS4 is a novel type II transmembrane serine protease that is highly expressed on the cell surface in pancreatic, thyroid and other cancer tissues, although its oncogenic significance and molecular mechanisms are unknown. Previously, we have shown that TMPRSS4 promotes invasion, migration and metastasis of human tumor cells by facilitating an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we explored the molecular basis underlying TMPRSS4-mediated effects. We show that multiple downstream signaling pathways, including focal adhesion kinase (FAK), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), Akt, Src and Rac1, are activated by TMPRSS4 expression and that FAK signaling and ERK activation are required for TMPRSS4-induced invasiveness and EMT, including cadherin switch. Inhibition of PI3K or Src reduced invasiveness and actin rearrangement mediated by TMPRSS4 without restoring E-cadherin expression. Downregulation of E-cadherin was required for TMPRSS4-mediated effects but was not ...
In our study, using mice with LKB1-deficient mammary glands, we found evidence that basement membrane may be degraded by type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSPs) during mammary tumorigenesis [32]. We reported that loss of LKB1 does not induce palpable tumours during the lifetime of the mice but leads to mild abnormalities in the mammary gland, such as hyperbranching, partial disorganization of apical polarity and incomplete basement membrane. However, combining LKB1 deficiency with oncogenic MYC dramatically accelerates the appearance of mammary tumours in comparison with glands exposed to oncogenic MYC alone [32]. The study shows that both MYC+ and MYC+;LKB1− tumours are histopathologically mostly adenocarcinomas and not informative as such regarding the possible mechanisms underlying accelerated tumorigenesis. However, the histology of hyperplastic regions in between tumour areas was particularly interesting, providing a path for follow-up studies. Expression of oncogenic MYC alone, a ...

Protein HtrA2, also known as Omi, is a mitochondrially-located serine protease. The human protein Serine protease HTRA2, mitochondrial is 49kDa in size and composed of 458 amino acids. The peptide fragment of 1-31 amino acid is the mitochondrial transition sequence, fragment 32-133 amino acid is propertied, and 134-458 is the mature protein Serine protease HTRA2, mitochondrial, and its theoretical pI of this protein is 6.12.[10] HtrA2 shows similarities with DegS, a bacterial protease present in the periplasm of gram-negative bacteria. Structurally, HtrA2 is a trimeric molecule with central protease domains and a carboxy-terminal PDZ domain, which is characteristic of the HtrA family. The PDZ domain preferentially binds C-terminus of the protein substrate and modulate the proteolytic activity of the trypsin-like protease domain.[11] ...
The polytopic membrane protein Rhomboid-1 promotes the cleavage of the membrane-anchored TGFalpha-like growth factor Spitz, allowing it to activate the Drosophila EGF receptor. Until now, the mechanism of this key signaling regulator has been obscure, but our analysis suggests that Rhomboid-1 is a novel intramembrane serine protease that directly cleaves Spitz. In accordance with the putative Rhomboid active site being in the membrane bilayer, Spitz is cleaved within its transmembrane domain, and thus is, to our knowledge, the first example of a growth factor activated by regulated intramembrane proteolysis. Rhomboid-1 is conserved throughout evolution from archaea to humans, and our results show that a human Rhomboid promotes Spitz cleavage by a similar mechanism. This growth factor activation mechanism may therefore be widespread.
Testisin is a recently identified human serine protease expressed by premeiotic testicular germ cells and is a candidate tumor suppressor for testicular cancer. Here, we report the characterization of the gene encoding testisin, designated PRSS21, and its localization on the short arm of human chromosome 16 (16p13.3) between the microsatellite marker D16S246 and the radiation hybrid breakpoint CY23HA. We have further refined the localization to cosmid 406D6 in this interval and have established that the gene is approximately 4. 5 kb in length, and contains six exons and five intervening introns. The structure of PRSS21 is very similar to the human prostasin gene (PRSS8) which maps nearby on 16p11.2, suggesting that these genes may have evolved through gene duplication. Sequence analysis showed that the two known isoforms of testisin are generated by alternative pre-mRNA splicing. A major transcription initiation site was identified 97 nucleotides upstream of the testisin translation start and conforms
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the serine protease family. The encoded protein contains a serine protease domain, a transmembrane domain, an LDL receptor-like domain, and a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain. Serine proteases are known to be involved in a variety of biological processes, whose malfunction often leads to human diseases and disorders. This gene was identified by its association with both congenital and childhood onset autosomal recessive deafness. This gene is expressed in fetal cochlea and many other tissues, and is thought to be involved in the development and maintenance of the inner ear or the contents of the perilymph and endolymph. This gene was also identified as a tumor-associated gene that is overexpressed in ovarian tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012 ...

The typeNII transmembrane serine protease matriptase plays an important role in the integrity of epithelial barriers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of matriptase are unknown. To study these mechanisms, two variants of MadinNDarby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were used, together with the calciumNswitch model of epithelial function with measurements of transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Inhibitors of matriptase proteolytic activity delayed the restoration of TEER after calciumNswitch in MDCKNI, which develop high TEER and lack the leaky tight junction protein claudinN2, but not MDCKNII. This effect was confirmed in MDCKNI, established to stably express matriptase targeted shRNA. The influence of matriptase inhibition on MDCKNI was shown not to involve altered expression or assembly of relevant components of paracelluar junctions or cytoskeleton. This excluded a role for claudinN2 in the function of matriptase, which had previously been shown in human CacoN2 ...

Serine protease with a variety of targets, including extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin. HTRA1-generated fibronectin fragments further induce synovial cells to up-regulate MMP1 and MMP3 production. May also degrade proteoglycans, such as aggrecan, decorin and fibromodulin. Through cleavage of proteoglycans, may release soluble FGF-glycosaminoglycan complexes that promote the range and intensity of FGF signals in the extracellular space. Regulates the availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by cleaving IGF-binding proteins. Inhibits signaling mediated by TGF-beta family members. This activity requires the integrity of the catalytic site, although it is unclear whether TGF-beta proteins are themselves degraded. By acting on TGF-beta signaling, may regulate many physiological processes, including retinal angiogenesis and neuronal survival and maturation during development. Intracellularly, degrades TSC2, leading to the activation of TSC2 downstream targets ...

The high temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) is a potent protease involved in many diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the regulatory mechanisms that control HTRA1 expression need to be determined. In this study, we demonstrated that IFN-γ significantly inhibited the basal and LPS-induced HTRA1 expression in fibroblasts and macrophages, which are two major cells for HTRA1 production in RA. Importantly, the inhibitory effect of IFN-γ on HTRA1 expression was evidenced in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models and in human RA synovial cells. In parallel with the enhanced CIA incidence and pathological changes in IFN-γ-deficient mice, HTRA1 expression in the joint tissues was also increased as determined by real-time PCR and Western blots. IFN-γ deficiency increased the incidence of CIA and the pathological severity in mice. Neutralization of HTRA1 by Ab significantly reversed the enhanced CIA frequency and severity in IFN-γ-deficient mice. Mechanistically, IFN-γ ...
Ynm3 is the only budding yeast protein possessing a combination of a serine protease and PDZ domains, a defining feature of the widely conserved HtrA (high temperature requirement A) protein family. The bacterial HtrA/DegP is involved in protective stress response to aid survival at higher temperatures by cleaving irreversibly unfolded proteins in the periplasm. At ambient growth temperatures, it acts as a chaperone and aids maturation of outer membrane proteins that have escaped folding mediated by the primary periplasmic chaperone SurA. Studies involving overexpression of mammalian mitochondrial HtrA2/Omi in cell culture propose a proapoptotic role for the protein. Mice lacking HtrA2/Omi or its protease activity, however, show no evidence of reduced rate of cell death. Instead, these mice suffer loss of a population of neurons in the striatum leading to a Parkinsonian phenotype. Two mutations in the gene encoding human HtrA2/Omi, leading to partial loss of protease activity have been ...
Epithelial integrity requires the adhesion of cells to each other as well as to an underlying basement membrane. The modulation of adherence properties is crucial to morphogenesis and wound healing, and deregulated adhesion has been implicated in skin diseases and cancer metastasis. Here, we describe zebrafish that are mutant in the serine protease inhibitor Hai1a (Spint1la), which display disrupted epidermal integrity. These defects are further enhanced upon combined loss of hai1a and its paralog hai1b. By applying in vivo imaging, we demonstrate that Hai1-deficient keratinocytes acquire mesenchymal-like characteristics, lose contact with each other, and become mobile and more susceptible to apoptosis. In addition, inflammation of the mutant skin is evident, although not causative of the epidermal defects. Only later, the epidermis exhibits enhanced cell proliferation. The defects of hai1 mutants can be phenocopied by overexpression and can be fully rescued by simultaneous inactivation of the ...
Pneumonia is one of the commonest causes of death worldwide. High‑temperature requirement A2 (HtrA2) is a proapoptotic mitochondrial serine protease involved in caspase‑dependent or caspase‑independent cell apoptosis. UCF‑101 (5‑[5‑(2‑nitrophenyl) furfuryl iodine]‑1,3‑diphenyl‑2‑thiobarbituric acid), an inhibitor of HtrA2, has a protective effect on organs in various diseases by inhibiting cell apoptosis. The aim of the present study was to explore whether UCF‑101 has a protective effect on lungs in pneumonia. A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced pneumonia model was established in rats. UCF‑101 (2 µmol/kg) was used for treatment. Lung injury was detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Pro‑inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress‑related factors were detected using corresponding test kits. TUNEL staining was used to measure the amount of cell apoptosis. Apoptosis‑associated proteins were detected by western blot assay. The present study indicated pulmonary ...

The High temperature requirement A (HtrA) proteases are a family of serine proteases conserved from bacteria to mammals, and are known to have important functions in protecting cells from stress conditions. There are four mammalian HtrA paralogs (HtrA1-4). HtrA1 is involved in apoptosis and anoikis, and is proposed to function as a tumour suppressor. It has also been implicated in the development of other diseases such as arthritis, Alzheimers disease, age-related macular degeneration, and cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy. We have previously shown that HtrA1 is highly enriched in the placenta compared to other tissues, and that in women HtrA1 is expressed in placental and endometrial cells at the placental-maternal interface during the first trimester of pregnancy. HtrA1 has recently been reported to be upregulated in preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy-specific systemic disorder primarily involving hypertension and proteinuria, typically ...

The OHSS cDNA clone of 1759 bp was found to encode a protein of 492 amino acids whose molecular mass was estimated to be 54.7 kDa (Fig. 3). A homology search indicated that the C-terminal part of the deduced amino acid sequence was composed of a trypsin-like serine protease domain (Fig. 4). Serine proteases are involved in many biological process including digestion, blood clotting, proenzyme activation and complement activation (e.g. Neurath, 1984; Lanz et al., 1993; Rawlings and Barrett, 1994; Klein et al., 1996; Levine et al., 2001). Numerous serine proteases are synthesized as inactive zymogens. Zymogens prevent premature physiological functioning of the active portion of the protease, thus protecting host cells from enzymatic damage (Neurath and Walsh, 1976; Rawlings and Barrett, 1994).. The protein encoded in the OHSS cDNA would be a zymogen of OHSS, which is likely to be proteolytically activated. The Arg-Ile-Ile-Gly-Gly motif (Fig. 3) clearly corresponds to the typical Arg-Ile-(Ile or ...

BCX 1470 is a serine protease inhibitor with the IC50 of 96 nM for factor D and 1.6 nM for C1s. Serine proteases are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins which are found ubiquitously in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and serine serves as the nucleophilic amino acid at the active site. According to structure, serine proteases are divided into trypsin-like (chymotrypsin-like) family and subtilisin-like family. It is reported that serine proteases play an important role in various physiological functions, including digestion, immune response, blood coagulation and reproduction. BCX 1470 is a potent serine protease inhibitor and functions on the complement enzymes CIs and factor D sites. By determining the ability of enzyme to hydrolyze appropriate synthetic substrates, the result showed that BCX 1470 inhibited the factor D and C1s esterolytic activity which were important in the function of serine protease. In induced dermal RPA reaction rat model, administration of BCX 1470 markedly ...

The mechanism of a single gene giving rise to greater than one mRNA transcript is referred to as differential splicing. This system is often tightly regulated in a cell-type or developmental stage-specific manner and increases genome complexity by generating different proteins from the same mRNA. The presence of more than one mRNA form for the same gene is common among kallikreins. These variant mRNAs may result from alternative splicing, a retained intronic segment, or use of an alternative.... ...
I think the work by Agard on alpha-lytic protease suggests something , ,like this. , , Isnt that the protein whose folding is catalysed by a part of itself, , the Pro-region? If this is true, then that does not argue against my , statement. I think that the fold, that the protein adopts, is the , global minimum of the molecule _with_ its Pro-region. After the , Pro-region is cleaved, the global minimum is elswhere in the fold , space, but it is kinetically inaccessible. Thus, the native protein , does not adopt its global minimum, but it *folds*to* the global , minimum. From the point of view of someone who wants to do something , with this protein, you may say that this makes no difference. But from , the point of view of someone reasoning about the principles of protein , folding, it does. I completely agree with all of the above. What then about plasminogen activator inhibitor, PAI-1. This protein, AFAIR, has an active (as an inhibitor) state, which is in higher energy than an inactive ...

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates LDL cholesterol metabolism by targeting LDL receptors for degradation. Statins increase serum PCSK9 concentration limiting the potential of statins to reduce LDL cholesterol, whereas ezetimibe, inhibitor of cholesterol absorption, has ambiguous effects on circulating PCSK9 levels. Plant stanols also reduce cholesterol absorption, but their effect on serum PCSK9 concentration is not known. Therefore, we performed a controlled, randomized, double-blind study, in which 92 normo- to moderately hypercholesterolemic subjects (35 males and 57 females) consumed vegetable-oil spread 20 g/d enriched (plant stanol group, n=46) or not (control group, n=46) with plant stanol 3g/d as ester for 6 months. Fasting blood samples were drawn at baseline and at the end of the study. Serum PCSK9 concentration was analyzed with Quantikine Elisa Immunoassay, serum and lipoprotein lipids enzymatically, and serum non-cholesterol sterols with gas-liquid ...
We read with interest the article by Rashid and colleagues1 in Circulation in which they studied the physiological role of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) in intestinal triglyceride-rich lipoprotein production. In that article, Rashid et al stated that few investigators have characterized the functional importance of PCSK9 in the small intestine and its regulatory role on triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism.1 However, they omitted 2 seminal articles that previously addressed the question.. We demonstrated and published in 2009 in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology that PCSK9-deficient mice display reduced postprandial hypertriglyceridemia after an olive oil gavage.2 Using the lymph duct cannulation method, we also showed that PCSK9-deficient mice have reduced intestinal apolipoprotein B production compared with wild-type mice.2 Finally, we confirmed this relationship between intestinal PCSK9 and apolipoprotein B secretion in vitro in differentiated ...

The mature PCSK9 binds with LDLR protein to form a complex to direct LDLR protein toward lysosome for degradation. Thus, PCSK9 inhibits LDLR expression at a post-transcriptional level and plays a critical role in cholesterol homeostasis.23 In addition to SREBP2, we have reported that PPARγ is another transcription factor activating PCSK9 transcription because a PPRE exists in the PCSK9 promoter.24 In the current study, at cellular levels, we determined that PCSK9 expression can be induced by AdipoR agonists, and the induction was completed by activating PPARγ pathway. The induction of PCSK9 expression/secretion was also observed in wild-type mice. Meanwhile, AdipoR agonists activated SRE in the promoter of LDLR, but not of PCSK9, which resulted in a direct induction of LDLR expression by AdipoR agonists and surpassed the facilitation of LDLR degradation by increased PCSK9. Therefore, the long-term ADP355 treatment decreased serum total and LDL-C levels, but increased apoE levels in wild-type ...
Proprotein convertase involved in the processing of hormone and other protein precursors at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino acid residues (By similarity). In males, important for ADAM2 processing as well as other acrosomal proteins with roles in fertilization and critical for normal fertilization events such as sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction and binding of sperm to zona pellucida (By similarity). Plays also a role in female fertility, involved in the regulation of trophoblast migration and placental development, may be through the proteolytical processing and activation of proteins such as IGF2 (PubMed:16040806). May also participate in folliculogenesis in the ovaries (By similarity).
Introduction: CAT-2003 is an orally active small molecule that inhibits SREBP maturation (nSREBP-1 and nSREBP-2) and activation of SREBP-target genes, including PCSK9. CAT-2003 mechanism of action was studied in HepG2 cells and in the transgenic ApoE*3 Leiden mouse model of hyperlipoproteinemia.. Methods and Results: In vitro, CAT-2003 was studied in HepG2 cells and dose dependently reduced mature SREBP-2 protein levels (50% at 25 μM, n=3), PCSK9 mRNA (IC50 16.2 +/- 1.1 μM, n=3), and PCSK9 protein secretion (IC50 = 17.8 +/- 1.1 μM, n=3). CAT-2003 treatment also reduced expression of other SREBP target genes as well as SREBP processing genes including those encoding for HMG-CoA reductase, SCD-1, ACC2, S1P and S2P proteins. The reduction in PCSK9 protein correlated dose dependently with an increase in both low and high molecular weight LDLR protein. Statins increase nSREBP-2 and increase the production of PCSK9. CAT-2003 reversed atorvastatin-induced increases in nSREBP-2 and PCSK9 production ...

A total of 406 participants were randomized to the AMG 145 treatment arms, placebo arms, and the ezetimibe arm, with approximately 45 participants per arm. The mean age of the patients was 51 years, 34% were men, and 79% were white. Mean LDL-C concentration at baseline was 3.7 mmol/L. Of the patients enrolled, 21% of patients had two or more cardiovascular risk factors, 32% had metabolic syndrome, and no one had a history of coronary artery disease. AMG 145 significantly reduced LDL-C concentrations in all dose groups. The changes from baseline were -41.0% (95% confidence interval -46.2 to -35.8) for the AMG 70 mg/2-week dose; -43.9% (-49.0 to -38.7) for the 105 mg/2-week dose; and -50.9% (-56.2 to -45.7) for the 140 mg/2-week dose. Doses given every 4 weeks also resulted in reduced LDL-C.

We collected the stratum corneum (SC) from healthy individuals (n = 46) and AD patients (n = 63) by tape stripping and then measuring the trypsin-and chymotrypsin-like serine protease activity. We also analyzed the p.D386N and p.E420K of SPINK5 variants and loss-of-function mutations of FLG in the AD patients. The serine ...
Cell-cell fusion and cell invasion are essential for placental development. Human cytotrophoblasts in the chorionic villi may undergo cell-cell fusion to form syncytiotrophoblasts to facilitate nutrient-gas exchange or differentiate into extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) to facilitate maternal-fetal circulation. The placental transcription factor glial cells missing 1 (GCM1) regulates syncytin-1 and -2 expression to mediate trophoblast fusion. Interestingly, GCM1 and syncytin-1 are also expressed in EVTs with unknown physiological functions. In this study, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation-on-chip (ChIP-chip) analysis and identified the gene for high-temperature requirement protein A4 (HtrA4) as a GCM1 target gene, which encodes a serine protease facilitating cleavage of fibronectin and invasion of placental cells. Importantly, HtrA4 is immunolocalized in EVTs at the maternal-fetal interface, and its expression is decreased by hypoxia and in preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication associated with
Serine Protease Autotransporters of Enterobacteriaceae (SPATEs) constitute a large family of proteases secreted by Escherichia coli and Shigella. SPATEs exhibit two distinct proteolytic activities. First, a C-terminal catalytic site triggers an intra-molecular cleavage that releases the N-terminal portion of these proteins in the extracellular medium. Second, the secreted N-terminal domains of SPATEs are themselves proteases; each contains a canonical serine-protease catalytic site. Some of these secreted proteases are toxins, eliciting various effects on mammalian cells. Here, we discuss the biogenesis of SPATEs and their function as toxins.
Introduction: Anti-proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) antibodies have been very effective to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol. They attracted the attention on PCSK9 enzyme role in multiple pathways and underlined the complex correlations between lipid metabolism and various other liver or extrahepatic diseases, that are insufficiently known. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) 1c and SREBP2 are the main modulators of liver PCSK9 gene and protein expression, processes that can also be influenced by some natural and synthetic compounds (as berberine, or bortezomib and rosuvastatin, respectively), endoplasmic reticulum stress, metabolic status and the diurnal pattern.. Aim: This minireview is an analysis of PCSK9 involvement in liver pathology.. Results and Conclusion: PCSK9 is a key enzyme which increases LDL-receptor degradation. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) enters into hepatocytes in combination with lipoproteins through ...
PCSK9 inhibitor and high cholesterol. Computer illustration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, bad cholesterol) molecules (round) bound to LDL receptor (LDLR) proteins, with a molecule of the enzyme proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9, blue) bound to a PCSK9 inhibitor antibody (pink). When there are high levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood it builds up on the sides of blood vessels hardening them, a condition named atherosclerosis. This narrows the blood vessels and may block them. LDL receptors recognise and bind to LDL molecules to remove them from the bloodstream. When PCSK9 binds to an LDLR, the receptor is destroyed along with the LDL particle. But if PCSK9 does not bind, the receptor can return to the surface of the cell and remove more cholesterol. Monoclonal antibodies that bind to and inhibit PCSK9 are being used to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood by improving the livers ability to recycle LDLRs. - Stock Image C026/3508

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) associates with lipoproteins to form lipoviral particles (LVPs) that can facilitate viral entry into hepatocytes. Initial attachment occurs via heparan sulphate proteoglycans and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR); CD81 then mediates a post-attachment event. Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) enhances the degradation of the LDLR and modulates liver CD81 levels. We measured LVP and PCSK9 in patients chronically infected with HCV genotype (G)3. PCSK9 concentrations were also measured in HCV-G1 to indirectly examine the role of LDLR in LVP clearance.. ...
Intracellular serine protease-1 (ISP-1) from Bacillus subtilis had been previously purified to homogeneity. The purified protease (Mr = 31,000) had undergone processing to remove 17 to 20 amino-terminal amino acid residues. Then observations and a number of other studies led to the proposal that ISP-1 is synthesized in B. subtilis cells as an inactive precursor, which may undergo activation by amino-terminal processing. To examine these questions, monospecific polyclonal antibodies against ISP-1 were raised. A variety of procedures for extracting ISP-1 from cells under conditions that prevent proteolysis in vitro were evaluated by immunobloting and ISP-1 activity assays. ISP-1 was found to be always produced in a form (Mr = 34,000) that was larger than the purified form. This larger form was readily converted to the smaller form in vitro in crude extracts at pH 8.5 in the presence of Ca$\sp{2+}$ ions. It was also found that the appearance of ISP-1 activity and immunologically cross-reactive ...
At baseline, human chymase gene expression in heart was significantly higher but chymase activity is similar between WT and Tg mice. Treatment with LPS Tg mice showed cardiac hypertrophy, and heart chymase activity tended to show higher than in WT mice but these changes were not statistically significant. Previous studies showed that sepsis is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction [3]. We therefore speculate that LPS-induced cardiovascular dysfunction may be augmented, at least in part, by over-expression of the human chymase gene. This concept is consistent with a recent study by Koga et al. [9] that showed human chymase expression in mice induces mild hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy, characterized by cardiomyocyte hyperplasia and increased fibrosis in the left ventricle. From this data it is difficult to explain about the role of human chymase in LPS-induced increase mortality is due to cardiovascular dysfunction. Because of the low prevalence of survival of LPS induced Tg ...
However, achieving LDL levels of 70 mg/dL or lower in patients with high initial values is often not possible with statins alone, even with maximum dosages.It needs often combination with other drugs (like ezetimibe). Consequently,the search for new cholesterol-lowering interventions is mandatory.. The number of LDL-R expressed on the surface of hepatocytes is the primary determinant of plasma LDL levels.It binds plasma LDL on the hepatocyte surface, mediating LDL uptake and delivery to the endosomal system, where the LDL particle is released, and the LDL-R is recycled back to the hepatocyte surface to bind LDL particles.. The PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9.)protein appears to control the number of low-density lipoprotein receptors,which determines how quickly cholesterol (in the form of low-density lipoproteins) is removed from the bloodstream. Studies suggest that the PCSK9 protein helps control blood cholesterol levels by breaking down low-density lipoprotein receptors ...

Our recent findings indicate that hepatocyte CD36 is involved in the regulation of the IR (insulin receptor) in the liver and this modulates insulin action on glucose and lipid metabolism, including de-novo lipogenesis (DNL) and hepatic glucose production (HGP). We also identify the influence of hepatic CD36 in transcriptional effects of insulin on Pcsk9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) and Angptl3 (Angiopoietin-like 3), which are essential effectors of triglyceride (TG)/lipoprotein clearance. These findings suggest a link between CD36 signaling, FA flux and insulin action in regulation of liver metabolism and function in lipoprotein clearance. This is highly relevant to our understanding of hepatic insulin sensitivity and diabetic dyslipidemia and etiology of cardiovascular disease ...

MONDAY, Oct. 30, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- A combination of clinical factors and payer type increase the likelihood of approval for proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) treatment, and rates of approval are low overall, according to a study published online Oct. 30 in Circulation.. Gregory P. Hess, M.D., from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study using nationwide pharmacy claims linked to electronic medical records. The data set included more than 220 million patients from all 50 states and all payer types, with 5,140 distinct health plans. In the pharmacy data set, PCSK9i prescriptions were submitted for 51,466 patients. Approval or rejection of PCSK9i prescription claims was the main outcome.. The researchers found that 47 percent of patients who were prescribed a PCSK9i were approved for coverage by the payer. Age ,65 years, history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, prescription by a ...
AstraZeneca has launched a phase IIb clinical trial of the investigational antisense agent, ION449 (AZD8233), in patients with dyslipidemia.. The drug is developed by AstraZeneca in partnership with California-based biotech company Ionis Pharmaceuticals. Ionis has received a milestone payment of $20m from AstraZeneca for the initiation of the trial.. ION449 is a ligand conjugated antisense (LICA) medicine designed to lower blood cholesterol levels by targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). PCSK9 is an enzyme that controls the number of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) receptors on the surface of cells.. The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will enrol around 108 adults aged between 18 and 75 with LDL-C levels between 70 and 190 mg/dL and are receiving moderate or high-intensity statin therapy.. The effect of different doses of ION449 on LDL-C versus placebo at week 12 in patients taking baseline statin therapy will be the trials primary ...

The introduction of singular therapies, such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i), to lower high cholesterol levels requires better classification of patients eligible for intensive lipid lowering therapy. According to the European Medicines Administration, PCSK9i are recommended in primary prevention only in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients. Therefore, an FH diagnosis is not simply an academic issue, because it has many clinical implications. The bases of a diagnosis of FH are not entirely clear. The availability of genetic testing, including large genome-wide association analyses and whole genome studies, has shown that some patients with a clinical diagnosis of definite FH have no mutations in the genes associated with the disease. This fact does not exclude the very high cardiovascular risk of these patients, and an early and intensive lipid lowering therapy is recommended in all FH patients. Because an FH diagnosis is a cornerstone for decisions ...
