Advances in research on the accumulation, redox behavior, and function of vanadium in ascidians.

Biomolecular concepts

Michibata H, Ueki T.
PMID: 25961989
Biomol Concepts. 2010 May 01;1(1):97-107. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2010.003.

The discovery of high levels of vanadium-containing compounds in ascidian blood cells goes back to 1911. Ascidians, which are also known as tunicates or sea squirts, belong to a subphylum of the Chordata, between the vertebrates and invertebrates. This...

Lipoprotein assembly and function in an evolutionary perspective.

Biomolecular concepts

Van der Horst DJ, Rodenburg KW.
PMID: 25961995
Biomol Concepts. 2010 Aug 01;1(2):165-83. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2010.012.

Circulatory fat transport in animals relies on members of the large lipid transfer protein (LLTP) superfamily, including mammalian apolipoprotein B (apoB) and insect apolipophorin II/I (apoLp-II/I). ApoB and apoLp-II/I, constituting the structural (non-exchangeable) basis for the assembly of various...

Variable contribution of protein kinases to the generation of the human phosphoproteome: a global weblogo analysis.

Biomolecular concepts

Salvi M, Cesaro L, Pinna LA.
PMID: 25961996
Biomol Concepts. 2010 Aug 01;1(2):185-95. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2010.013.

In an attempt to evaluate the contribution of individual protein kinases to the generation of the human phosphoproteome, we performed a global weblogo analysis exploiting a database of 45641 phosphosites (80% pSer, 11% pTyr, 9% pThr). The outcome of...

MTERF factors: a multifunction protein family.

Biomolecular concepts

Roberti M, Polosa PL, Bruni F, Deceglie S, Gadaleta MN, Cantatore P.
PMID: 25961998
Biomol Concepts. 2010 Aug 01;1(2):215-24. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2010.015.

The MTERF family is a large protein family, identified in metazoans and plants, which consists of four subfamilies, MTERF1, 2, 3 and 4. Mitochondrial localisation was predicted for the vast majority of MTERF family members and demonstrated for the...

Liver X receptors and immune regulation.

Biomolecular concepts

Nunomura S, Makishima M, Ra C.
PMID: 25962011
Biomol Concepts. 2010 Dec 01;1(5):381-7. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2010.030.

Recent studies suggest that homeostasis of lipid metabolism is crucial for the function of various immune cells. Oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol (oxysterols) are well-known regulators of lipid metabolism and have diverse functions, such as inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, efflux...

Functional specificity of Akt isoforms in cancer progression.

Biomolecular concepts

Fortier AM, Asselin E, Cadrin M.
PMID: 25962016
Biomol Concepts. 2011 Apr 01;2(1):1-11. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2011.003.

Akt/PKB kinases are central mediators of cell homeostasis. There are three highly homologous Akt isoforms, Akt1/PKBα, Akt2/PKBβ and Akt3/PKBγ. Hyperactivation of Akt signaling is a key node in the progression of a variety of human cancer, by modulating tumor...

Antimicrobial peptides from amphibians.

Biomolecular concepts

Xiao Y, Liu C, Lai R.
PMID: 25962017
Biomol Concepts. 2011 Apr 01;2(1):27-38. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2011.006.

Increased prevalence of multi-drug resistance in pathogens has encouraged researchers to focus on finding novel forms of anti-infective agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found in animal secretions are components of host innate immune response and have survived eons of pathogen...

The role of symmetry in the regulation of bacterial carboxyltransferase.

Biomolecular concepts

Waldrop GL.
PMID: 25962018
Biomol Concepts. 2011 Apr 01;2(1):47-52. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2011.009.

Carboxyltransferase is one component of the multifunctional enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase which catalyzes the first committed step in fatty acid biosynthesis. Carboxyltransferase is an α2β2 heterotetramer and possesses two distinct but integrated functions. One function catalyzes the transfer of carbon...

Human aldo-keto reductases: structure, substrate specificity and roles in tumorigenesis.

Biomolecular concepts

Ma J, Cao D.
PMID: 25962023
Biomol Concepts. 2011 Apr 01;2(1):115-26. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2011.010.

The aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily consists of over 150 protein members sharing similar structure and enzymatic activities. To date, 13 human AKRs have been identified, and they participate in xenobiotic detoxification, biosynthesis and metabolism. Increasing evidence suggests the involvement...

Epigenetherapy, a new concept.

Biomolecular concepts

Husso T, Turunen MP, Parker N, Ylä-Herttuala S.
PMID: 25962024
Biomol Concepts. 2011 Jun 01;2(3):127-34. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2011.012.

Small RNAs have been shown to regulate gene transcription by interacting with the promoter region and modifying the histone code. The exact mechanism of function is still unclear but the feasibility to activate or repress endogenous gene expression with...

Coiled coils as possible models of protein structure evolution.

Biomolecular concepts

Gáspári Z, Nyitray L.
PMID: 25962029
Biomol Concepts. 2011 Jun 01;2(3):199-210. doi: 10.1515/bmc.2011.015.

Coiled coils are formed by two or more α-helices wrapped around one another. This structural motif often guides di-, tri- or multimerization of proteins involved in diverse biological processes such as membrane fusion, signal transduction and the organization of...
