  2021-05-26

  

  Most remarkably, an essentially identical collagen-binding mode to DDR2 is employed by SPARC, an α-helical matricellular protein unrelated to DDR2 that also recognizes the GVMGFO motif in collagen (Giudici et al., 2008, Hohenester et al., 2008). The convergence of binding mechanisms suggests that th

  Abbreviations Introduction Collagen-induced DDR activation A key feature of DDRs is their ability to bind both fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagens (Shrivastava et al., 1997, Vogel et al., 1997). DDR1 and DDR2 recognize the GVMGVO (O, hydroxyproline) motif within fibrillar collagens I–III

  The first ones class A receptors found as heterodimers were reported by Gomes et al. (2000), who identified a heteromer constituted by two subtypes of opioid receptors (μ and δ) in heterologous cells. The same year, Ginés et al. (2000) showed the first heteromer composed of two different receptors,

  The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important farmed fish with an XX/XY sex-determining system. The availability of the whole genome sequence of tilapia and tissue transcriptomes (Brawand et al., 2014), together with its gonadal transcriptomes at different developmental stages (Tao et al.

  It has been reported that vernolic WAY-600 accumulation in transgenic Arabidopsis seeds expressing a Δ12-epoxygenase often resulted in failure of germination and impaired growth and development (Singh et al., 2001). Similar phenomena were also reported for transgenic Arabidopsis seeds with accumula

  Introduction Biocatalysis can be used to synthesize chiral building blocks, such as monomers for polymer materials, and precursors for pharmaceuticals [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. Enzymes are very suitable for catalyzing reactions with high enantioselectivity to obtain chiral products. For instance, alc

  Collectively, the results presented here provide new insights into ligand binding, clustering, spatial distribution, and phosphorylation of DDR1b and DDR2 in response to soluble collagen I. As depicted in the cartoon of Scheme 1, we postulate a model in which the spatial distribution and assembly of

  It is interesting to note that oligomerization of recombinant DDR1 ECD primarily occurred when the protein was incubated with collagen in solution and to a much lesser extent when collagen was pre-immobilized on a surface as reported in our earlier studies (Agarwal et al., 2007). We believe that pre

  Furthermore, haplotypes formed by rs6269, rs4633, rs4818, and rs4680 of the COMT gene constitute a central COMT locus haploblock that is associated with the enzymatic activity of COMT [8]. The SNPs rs6269 and rs4818, which are located in the central COMT locus haploblock, have been observed to be as

  The strong adsorption of amines to the stationary phase of gas chromatography (GC) columns causes issues such as tailing, ghosting and low reproducibility [12], [13]. A common practice to overcome this problem is the chemical derivatisation of amines prior to GC analysis [14]. Comprehensive reviews

  In the frontal cortex, the present study found a relationship between working memory performance and activated Erk2 expression for the E2-only group, where animals that tended to perform better on the WMC measure tended to have higher activated Erk2 expression. This suggests that there is a unique r

  Introduction Neuropathic pain occurs in approximately one-third of patients with diabetes and is refractory to currently available analgesic drugs (Abbott et al., 2011). This painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is associated with elevated levels of methylglyoxal (MG; a reactive glucose metabolite) an

  The Liver X Receptor-α and -β (LXRs, NR1H3 and NR1H2, respectively) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily that play a central role in controlling cholesterol homeostasis [9], [10]. In macrophages, LXRs can decrease the cellular sterol burden by inducing expression of the cholesterol efflux

  The enantiomeric ratio (ER) of chiral compounds accumulated in organisms has been found to be different among species (Borga and Bidleman, 2005, Harner et al., 1999, Warner et al., 2005, Wiberg et al., 2000), indicating enantioselective accumulation of chiral compounds are species-specific. The ER o

  Introduction Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) is a lipid-metabolizing enzyme that phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DG) to produce phosphatidic nf-κb inhibitor (PA) [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. DG and PA act as lipid second messengers in a wide variety of biological processes. Ten DGK isozymes (α, β, γ, δ, η, κ
