Neuronal Hypoxia Disrupts Mitochondrial Fusion
Brain ischemia/reperfusion injury results in death of vulnerable neurons and extensive brain damage. It is well known that mitochondrial release of cytochrome c (cyto c) is a hallmark of neuronal death, however the molecular events underlying this release are largely unknown. We tested the hypothesis that cyto c release is regulated by breakdown of the cristae architecture maintenance protein, ...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein
Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. The aim of this stu...
متن کاملHetero-oligomerization between the TNF receptor superfamily members CD40, Fas and TRAILR2 modulate CD40 signalling
TNF receptor superfamily members (TNFRSF) such as CD40, Fas and TRAIL receptor 2 (TRAILR2) participate to the adaptive immune response by eliciting survival, proliferation, differentiation and/or cell death signals. The balance between these signals determines the fate of the immune response. It was previously reported that these receptors are able to self-assemble in the absence of ligand thro...
متن کاملMuscle Differentiation: Signalling Cell Fusion
Myoblast fusion is fundamental both to the production of skeletal muscle during development and to its repair later in life. An in-depth knowledge of cell fusion in general, and myoblast fusion in particular, may also become crucial to developing clinical approaches to tissue repair based on stem cells and/or gene therapy [1,2]. But despite its importance, much remains to be learnt about cell f...
متن کاملStructure of an Engineered β-Lactamase Maltose Binding Protein Fusion Protein: Insights into Heterotropic Allosteric Regulation
Engineering novel allostery into existing proteins is a challenging endeavor to obtain novel sensors, therapeutic proteins, or modulate metabolic and cellular processes. The RG13 protein achieves such allostery by inserting a circularly permuted TEM-1 β-lactamase gene into the maltose binding protein (MBP). RG13 is positively regulated by maltose yet is, serendipitously, inhibited by Zn(2+) at ...
