  • Overall, our predictions suggest the existence of another layer of crosstalk, namely between ß-catenin (downstream to cadherin-11) and an ERK inhibitor protein (e.g. (bvsalud.org)
  • Similar to STAM, this protein acts downstream of JAK kinases, and is phosphorylated in response to cytokine stimulation. (nih.gov)
  • The final step in the first ubiquitylation event is an attack from the target protein lysine amine group, which will remove the cysteine, and form a stable isopeptide bond. (wikipedia.org)
  • Here, we describe the fate of Arabidopsis PIN2 protein, required for directional cellular efflux of the phytohormone auxin, and identify cis- and trans-acting mediators of PIN2 ubiquitylation. (cas.cz)
  • The RING-variant domain is a C4HC3 zinc-finger like motif found in a number of cellular and viral proteins. (embl.de)
  • Over two dozen proteins involved in protein import and membrane insertion, peroxins, encoded by PEX genes, have been characterized. (tcdb.org)
  • The protein encoded by this gene associates with late endosome membranes as is involved in tubule formation, cholesterol transport, and transport of tetraspanin CD81. (nih.gov)
  • To create particular shaped cells and cell organelles, membranes must undergo deformations which are determined by the structure and elasticity of the membrane and this process is most probable driven by proteins, lipids and/or interplay of both. (db-engine.de)
  • These proteins act as channels and allow ions to move across cell membranes. (elifesciences.org)
  • As in a petrochemical plant, different steps in the production process take place in dedicated compartments, and signaling systems regulate the movement of molecules between compartments. (alzforum.org)

  • Recruitment of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex stabilizes the TNF-R1 signaling complex and is required for TNF-mediated gene induction. (nature.com)

  • Description of the protein which includes the UniProt Function and the NCBI Gene Summary. (nih.gov)
  • In contrast, loss-of-function mutations in the let-7 microRNA gene prevent a developmental decline in dendritic growth ability, whereas loss-of-function mutations in its direct target, the lin-41 tripartite motif protein gene, cause further decline. (stanford.edu)
  • The LIN-14 transcription factor likely directly represses dma-1 gene expression through a transcriptional means, whereas the LIN-41 tripartite motif protein likely indirectly promotes dma-1 gene expression through a posttranscriptional means. (stanford.edu)
  • Ubiquitin and SUMO modification of specific proteins is recognised as an important element of the cellular response to genetic damage. (lancaster.ac.uk)
  • Through a combination of biochemical analysis, using purified proteins and cell-free extracts of Xenopus laevis eggs, and in vivo cell biological analysis using established human cell lines, my group is identifying key targets of ubiquitin and SUMO modification in the DNA damage response.

  • Speciality: Previous and ongoing research in my group is in the area of stress responses, including the unfolded protein response and heat shock responses. (cost-proteostasis.eu)
  • During eucaloric conditions the continual breakdown of protein that occurs in the body's organs and vital tissues is replenished in the post-absorptive state via supply of amino acids derived primarily from the skeletal muscle component of FFM[ 7 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Providing there is adequate dietary protein intake, muscle protein gains which occur in the fed state balances the loss of muscle protein which occurs in the post absorptive state allowing day to day skeletal muscle mass to remain relatively constant[ 7 , 10 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The FFM reduction that typically occurs during CR weight loss also implies a negative net skeletal muscle protein balance. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To test the idea that loss of Rab11 may promote cancer progression, archival human patient tissues were analyzed and 51 out of 70 colon cancer tissues had lower Rab11 protein staining. (sdbonline.org)
