Rapamycin biosynthesis: Elucidation of gene product function.
The function of gene products involved in the biosynthesis of the clinically important polyketide rapamycin were elucidated by biotransformation and gene complementation.
متن کاملEstablishment of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) gene knockout mice with preliminary gene function analyses
Pyruvate plays a critical role in the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and it is the center product for the synthesis of amino acids, carbohydrates and fatty acids. Pyruvate transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane appears to be essential in anabolic and catabolic intermediary metabolism. The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) mounted in the inner membrane of mitochond...
متن کاملOlfactory function in apoE knockout mice.
Apolipoprotein E (apoE), a lipid transporting protein, has been shown to play a vital role in nerve repair and remodeling. Since the olfactory system is in a continuous state of remodeling, the present study tested the hypothesis that apoE is required for normal functioning of the olfactory system. Olfactory behavior of wild-type (WT) and apoE-deficient (apoE KO) mice was assessed by using thre...
متن کاملPreservation of cochlear function in Fabp3 (H-Fabp) knockout mice
Fatty acid-binding protein 3 (Fabp3) is an intracellular lipid trafficking protein that mediates energy metabolism and long-chain fatty acid-related signaling. Fabp3 is expressed in the spiral ganglion neurons and supporting cells of the organ of Corti. However, it is unclear what role Fabp3 plays in the cochlea. Here, we demonstrated that the ABR thresholds of young and aged Fabp3 knockout mic...
متن کاملSusceptibility of heterozygous MnSOD gene-knockout mice to oxygen toxicity.
Recent studies have shown that homozygous Mn superoxide dismutase (Sod2) gene-knockout mice (Sod2(-/-)) die shortly after birth with extensive myocardial injury, whereas heterozygous mutants (Sod2(+/-)) are phenotypically normal in room air. In the current study, we showed that Sod2(+/-) mice with approximately 50% of normal pulmonary MnSOD activity and normal levels of lung CuZnSOD, catalase, ...
