From substrate specificity to promiscuity: hybrid ABC transporters for osmoprotectants.
The ABC-transporters OpuB and OpuC from Bacillus subtilis function as osmoprotectant import systems. Their structural genes have most likely evolved through a duplication event but the two transporters are remarkably different in their substrate profile. OpuB possesses narrow substrate specificity, while OpuC is promiscuous. We assessed the functionality of hybrids between these two ABC-transpo...
متن کاملRho Kinase Inhibitors as a Novel Treatment for Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension
In an elegant example of bench-to-bedside research, a hypothesis that cells in the outflow pathway actively regulate conventional outflow resistance was proposed in the 1990s and systematically pursued, exposing novel cellular and molecular mechanisms of intraocular pressure (IOP) regulation. The critical discovery that pharmacologic manipulation of the cytoskeleton of outflow pathway cells dec...
متن کاملmitochondria-targeted antioxidant ss-31 as a potential novel ophthalmic drug for neuroprotection in glaucoma
glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness and a neurodegenerative disease with a complex pathogenesis. increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have crucial roles in most neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma. the conventional clinical treatment for glaucoma is lowering the intraocular pressure (iop). some patients have normal i...
متن کاملVirtual Environments as Hybrid Systems
The development of virtual environments (VEs) is a non-trivial task. Many VEs are based around particular technologies and developed using ad hoc prototyping. This is undesirable if any formal evaluation of the system is to be attempted. It is also common for descriptions of VEs to be left at an informal level, if described at all. This is because VEs are dynamic environments and due to their c...
متن کاملAttention Deficits in Chronic Methamphetamine Users as a Potential Target for Enhancing Treatment Efficacy
Methamphetamine (MA) is a potent, addictive psychostimulant that has dramatic effects on the central nervous system (CNS). The onset of methamphetamine use has been linked to heightened attention, and chronic methamphetamine use has been associated with deficits in different aspects of attention that can significantly persist into abstinence. Attention deficits in chronic methamphetamine users ...
