Lipids and signal transduction in the nucleus.
During the last few years a growing amount of data has accumulated showing phospholipid participation in nuclear signal transduction. Very recent data strongly support the hypothesis that signal transduction in the nucleus is autonomic. Local production of inositol polyphosphates, beginning with the activation of phospholipase C is required for their specific function in the nucleus. Enzymes wh...
متن کاملBacterial endotoxins.
Endotoxins possess an intrinsic fascination that is nothing less than fabulous. They seem to have been endowed by nature with virtues and vices in the exact and glamorous proportions needed to render them irresistible to any investigator who comes to know them.
متن کاملCholangiocarcinoma cells secrete soluble factors that activate Jak/STAT signal transduction and promote MDSC expansion
Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a universally lethal disease that responds poorly to chemoand immunotherapy. Patients with CC typically display elevated systemic interleukin-6 (IL-6) and systemic expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Interestingly, both of these processes involve activation of the STAT3 transcription factor. We hypothesize that tumor-derived cytokines may act via di...
متن کاملSignal transduction: Hair brains in bacterial chemotaxis
The conserved cytoplasmic domains of bacterial chemotaxis receptors are a fibrous arrangement of alpha-helical coiled coils that look a lot like hair. Such bundles of alpha-helical filaments mediate sensory-motor responses in all prokaryotic cells. How do they work? Very nearly perfectly is probably as good an answer as any.
متن کاملHybrid Formation between Bacterial Endotoxins
When endotoxins extracted from enteric bacteria were mixed in the presence of sodium deoxycholate, and the bile salt was subsequently removed by dialysis or by extraction with ethanol, a new type of endotoxin was formed. The latter material was as biologically active as the original endotoxins and possessed a combination of antigenic determinants that were previously unique to each of the indiv...
