A secretion trap screen in yeast identifies protease inhibitor 16 as a novel antihypertrophic protein secreted from the heart.
BACKGROUND Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is of central importance in the development of congestive heart failure. Whether proteins secreted from the myocardium itself contribute to myocardial hypertrophy is largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a genetic yeast secretion trap screen using a murine cardiac cDNA library and identified 54 cardiac proteins that contained a secretion signal...
متن کاملKlotho as a Novel Cardioprotective Protein in Aged Heart
In recent years, researchers have been looking for genes whose products can directly affect the aging process. Among these, the anti-aging protein klotho has attracted much attention. This single transmembrane protein is expressed in the renal tissues, parathyroid gland and choroid network of the brain and acts as a co-receptor for Fibroblast Growth Factor FGF. In this way, it contributes to c...
متن کاملA novel yeast cell-based screen identifies flavone as a tankyrase inhibitor.
The telomere-associated protein tankyrase 1 is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and is considered to be a promising target for cancer therapy, especially for BRCA-associated cancers. However, an efficient assay system for inhibitor screening has not been established, mainly due to the difficulty of efficient preparation of the enzyme and its substrate. Here, we report a cell-based assay system for...
متن کاملPak1 as a novel therapeutic target for antihypertrophic treatment in the heart.
BACKGROUND Stress-induced hypertrophic remodeling is a critical pathogenetic process leading to heart failure. Although many signal transduction cascades are demonstrated as important regulators to facilitate the induction of cardiac hypertrophy, the signaling pathways for suppressing hypertrophic remodeling remain largely unexplored. In this study, we identified p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) a...
متن کاملthe significance of conjunction as a cohesive device in teaching writing
the research questions were as follows: 1. is there any relationship between the students concious awareness of the form and implications of the conjuncations and their improvement in using appropriate conjunctions? 2. does students knowledge of the from and the implications of the conjunctions help them to produce more coherent writings. 3. does a comparison between english conjunctions and th...
