A1M, an extravascular tissue cleaning and housekeeping protein: a possible drug candidate.
Alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M) is a small protein found intra- and extracellularly in all tissues of vertebrates. The protein was discovered 40 years ago and its physiological role remained unknown for a long time. A series of recent publications have demonstrated that A1M is a vital part of tissue housekeeping. A strongly electronegative free thiol group forms the structural basis of heme-binding...
متن کاملDual Host-Virus Arms Races Shape an Essential Housekeeping Protein
Transferrin Receptor (TfR1) is the cell-surface receptor that regulates iron uptake into cells, a process that is fundamental to life. However, TfR1 also facilitates the cellular entry of multiple mammalian viruses. We use evolutionary and functional analyses of TfR1 in the rodent clade, where two families of viruses bind this receptor, to mechanistically dissect how essential housekeeping gene...
متن کاملMammalian housekeeping genes evolve more slowly than tissue-specific genes.
Do housekeeping genes, which are turned on most of the time in almost every tissue, evolve more slowly than genes that are turned on only at specific developmental times or tissues? Recent large-scale gene expression studies enable us to have a better definition of housekeeping genes and to address the above question in detail. In this study, we examined 1581 human-mouse orthologous gene pairs ...
متن کاملExtended Abstract—Tissue Gel Composite Cleaning
In the recent past, the Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg (SRAL) developed a method for removing varnish from the surface of paintings by employing tissues saturated with simple solvent gels (comprising organic solvent and cellulose ether gelling agents only). Initially conceived for treating paintings in the Oranjezaal, Huis ten Bosch, the Netherlands (Van Och et al., 1999), the use of sol...
متن کاملAn intravascular lymphoma with extravascular tendencies.
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVL) is rare and characterized by selective growth of neoplastic cells within the lumina of small blood vessels. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman who died of a widespread IVL with extravascular involvement of the lymph nodes, liver, bladder, and adrenal gland. This report discusses the unique features of IVL with concurrent extravascular components.
