Chicken scavenger receptors and their ligand-induced cellular immune responses.
The scavenger receptors (SRs) comprise structurally and functionally divergent groups of cell surface and secreted proteins that play an important role in innate immune defenses. Searching translated chicken genomic databases revealed many proteins homologous to mammalian SRs. SR mediated immune functions (oxidative burst, degranulation, phagocytosis, nitric oxide (NO) production, and cytokine ...
متن کاملLiver uptake of phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides is mediated by scavenger receptors.
The therapeutic activity of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) often is impaired due to premature degradation and poor ability to reach the (intra)cellular target. In this study, we addressed the in vivo fate of ODNs and characterized the major sites responsible for the clearance of intravenously injected phosphodiester ODN. On injection into rats, 32P-ODNs (miscellaneous sequences and GT-c...
متن کاملPreparation of a Photoactivable Ligand for Bradykinin Receptors
ABSTRACT Most of physiological effects of bradykinin is due to its effect on bradykinin B2 receptors. There is no reports of preparation of a photoactivatable analogue of bradykinin reactive with sloubilized bradykinin B2 recpetors. Photoactivatable radioactive ligands are powerful tools in purification of receptors. In this study we report preparation of a photoactivatable iodinatable analo...
متن کاملPeptide ligand recognition by G protein-coupled receptors
The past few years have seen spectacular progress in the structure determination of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We now have structural representatives from classes A, B, C, and F. Within the rhodopsin-like class A, most structures belong to the α group, whereas fewer GPCR structures are available from the β, γ, and δ groups, which include peptide GPCRs such as the receptors for neurote...
متن کاملReelin Is a Ligand for Lipoprotein Receptors
A signaling pathway involving the extracellular protein Reelin and the intracellular adaptor protein Disabled-1 (Dab1) controls cell positioning during mammalian brain development. Here, we demonstrate that Reelin binds directly to lipoprotein receptors, preferably the very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) and apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2). Binding requires calcium, and it is inh...
