Human fur Gene Encodes a Yeast KEX2-1ike Endoprotease That Cleaves Pro-/5-NGF In Vivo
Extracts from BSC-40 cells infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing either the yeast KEX2 prohormone endoprotease or a human structural homologue (fur gene produc0 contained an elevated level of a membrane-associated endoproteolytic activity that could cleave at pairs of basic amino acids (-LysArgand -ArgArg-). The fur-directed activity (fufin) shared many properties with Kex2p including ...

Extracts from BSC-40 cells infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing either the yeast KEX2 prohormone endoprotease or a human structural homologue (fur gene product) contained an elevated level of a membrane-associated endoproteolytic activity that could cleave at pairs of basic amino acids (-LysArg- and -ArgArg-).

متن کاملIncreased pro-nerve growth factor and decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor in non-Alzheimer's disease tauopathies.
Alterations in the expression and signaling of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the precursor to nerve growth factor (NGF), proNGF, play a role in the neuronal and cognitive dysfunction of Alzheimer's disease. Aggregated amyloid-β has been shown to down-regulate specific BDNF transcripts in Alzheimer's disease, but the role of tau pathology in neurotrophin dysregulation has not been...
متن کاملAre Pro-Growth Policies Pro-Poor?
The basis, and characterization, of pro-poor growth remain a source of debate in the current development literature. The paper sheds light on this debate with an example drawn from an analysis of household panel data from Bangladesh. The objective is to determine if observed rural income growth and the policies supporting this growth have been pro-poor — that is, whether policies and growth hav...
متن کاملNerve growth factor in human semen: Effect of nerve growth factor on the normozoospermic men during cryopreservation process
Objective(s):Althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. Adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm DNA fragmentation and infertility. The post-thaw survival of sperm...
