Expression profiles of carnosine synthesis–related genes in mice after ingestion of carnosine or ß-alanine
BACKGROUND Carnosine is a dipeptide that improves exercise performance. The carnosine synthesis mechanism through carnosine and ß-alanine ingestion remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the tissue distribution of carnosine synthase, ATP-grasp domain-containing protein-1 (ATPGD1) mRNA, and ATPGD1 and carnosine specific dipeptidase (CN1) gene expression profiles in mice that were given carn...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Carnosine N-Methyltransferase as Chicken Histamine N-Methyltransferase-Like Protein (HNMT-Like)
Anserine (beta-alanyl-N(Pi)-methyl-L-histidine), a naturally occurring derivative of carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine), is an abundant constituent of skeletal muscles and brain of many vertebrates. Although it has long been proposed to serve as a proton buffer, radicals scavenger and transglycating agent, its physiological function remains obscure. The formation of anserine is catalyzed by ca...
متن کاملThe ATP synthase--a splendid molecular machine.
An X-ray structure of the F1 portion of the mitochondrial ATP synthase shows asymmetry and differences in nucleotide binding of the catalytic beta subunits that support the binding change mechanism with an internal rotation of the gamma subunit. Other structural and mutational probes of the F1 and F0 portions of the ATP synthase are reviewed, together with kinetic and other evaluations of catal...
متن کاملIdentification of FERM domain‐containing protein 5 as a novel target of β‐catenin/TCF7L2 complex
Deregulation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in human tumorigenesis through the accumulation of β-catenin and subsequent transactivation of TCF7L2. Although some of the consequences associated with the accumulated β-catenin have been clarified, the comprehensive effect of activated β-catenin/TCF7L2 transcriptional complex on tumorigenesis remains to be elucidated....
متن کاملComparative Investigation of R213G Mutation in DNA-Binding Domain of P53 Protein via Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Introduction: P53 is a tumor suppressor protein with numerous missense mutations identified in its gene. These mutations are observed in a vast number of cancers. R213G is one of them which has a role in metastatic lung cancers. In this research, R213G was studied in comparison with the wild type via molecular dynamics simulation. Method: For the three-dimensional structure of the wild-type P53...
