Transgenic A1 adenosine receptor overexpression increases myocardial resistance to ischemia.
Activation of myocardial A1 adenosine receptors (A1AR) protects the heart from ischemic injury. In this study transgenic mice were created using the cardiac-specific alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter and rat A1AR cDNA. Heart membranes from two transgene positive lines displayed approximately 1,000-fold overexpression of A1AR (6,574 +/- 965 and 10,691 +/- 1,002 fmol per mg of protein vs. 8 +/- 5...
متن کاملOverexpression of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) increases resistance to natural product drugs.
Amplification of the gene encoding multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) and overexpression of its cognate mRNA have been detected in multidrug-resistant cell lines derived from several different tumor types. To establish whether or not the increase in MRP is responsible for drug resistance in these cell lines, we have transfected HeLa cells with MRP expression vectors. The transfectant...
متن کاملOverexpression of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Cdc34 confers resistance to methylmercury in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A search was made for genes that confer resistance to methylmercury in yeast using a genomic DNA library derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The genomic library was introduced into yeast and transformants that grew in the presence of a normally toxic concentration of methylmercury were selected. We sequenced the genomic DNA fragment in the plasmid from the clone with the highest resistance t...
متن کاملOverexpression of the novel F-box protein Ymr258c confers resistance to methylmercury in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We searched a yeast genomic library for genes that conferred methylmercury resistance to yeast. Ymr258c was identified as a factor that conferred strong methylmercury resistance when overexpressed in budding yeast. Ymr258c is regarded as one of the F-box proteins, i.e., component factors of the Skp1/Cullin/F-box protein (SCF) complex that functions as a ubiquitin ligase in the ubiquitin-proteas...
متن کاملOverexpression of a Functional Vicia sativa PCS1 Homolog Increases Cadmium Tolerance and Phytochelatins Synthesis in Arabidopsis
Phytochelatins (PCs) catalyzed by phytochelatin synthases (PCS) are important for the detoxification of metals in plants and other living organisms. In this study, we isolated a PCS gene (VsPCS1) from Vicia sativa and investigated its role in regulating cadmium (Cd) tolerance. Expression of VsPCS1 was induced in roots of V. sativa under Cd stress. Analysis of subcellular localization showed tha...
