Diaminic carbonates, a new class of anti-inflammatory compounds: their biological characterization and mode of action.
Taking advantage of a standard assay on mouse LM cells (murine fibroblast-like cells), we found that several diaminic carbonates, a new class of organic compounds synthesized in our laboratories, were able to inhibit human tumor necrosis factor alpha (huTNFalpha)-induced cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. Structure-function relationship studies indicated precise structural requirements fo...
متن کاملActin mutations that show suppression with fimbrin mutations identify a likely fimbrin-binding site on actin
Actin interacts with a large number of different proteins that modulate its assembly and mediate its functions. One such protein is the yeast actin-binding protein Sac6p, which is homologous to vertebrate fimbrin (Adams, A. E. M., D. Botstein, and D. G. Drubin. 1991. Nature (Lond.). 354:404-408.). Sac6p was originally identified both genetically (Adams, A. E. M., and D. Botstein. 1989. Genetics...
متن کاملClimatic Effects Due to Halogenated Compounds in the Earth's Atmosphere
Using a one-dimensional radiative-convective model, we perform a sensitivity study of the effect of ozone depletion in the stratosphere on the surface temperature. There could be a cooling of the surface temperature by -0.2 K due to chlorofluoromethane-induced ozone depletion at steady state (assuming 1973 release rates). This cooling reduces significantly the greenhouse effect due to the prese...
متن کاملThree sea urchin actin genes show different patterns of expression: muscle specific, embryo specific, and constitutive.
The expression of three different actin genes in the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, was monitored in embryos and adult tissues by using untranslated mRNA sequences as specific hybridization probes. Three distinct patterns of expression were found: muscle specific, embryo specific, and constitutive (i.e., present in all tissues examined). The actin genes encoding the muscle-specific ...
متن کاملPhotocontrollable NO-releasing compounds and their biological applications
Photocontrollable nitric oxide (NO)-releasing compounds, or caged NOs, are very useful to expose cells or tissues to NO in a spatiotemporally well-controlled manner, e.g., for precise investigations of biological responses to NO and NO-related signaling pathways. We have developed photocontrollable NO releasers based on two mechanisms: photoinduced isomerization reaction of a dimethylnitrobenze...
