Toward identifying specific roles for G-protein β and γ subunit variants in olfactory reception
G-proteins mediate many cellular signaling processes; some are restricted to certain tissues or cell types, whereas others are involved in more general activities. For example, information regarding a change in the concentration of peptides, hormones, lipids, neurotransmitters, ions, odorants and tastants or an influx of photons to the eye can be transmitted to a cell via G-proteins. Heterotrim...
متن کاملA U-Box E3 Ubiquitin Ligase, PUB20, Interacts with the Arabidopsis G-Protein β Subunit, AGB1
An Arabidopsis U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase Plant U-box 20 (PUB20; alternatively called AtCMPG1) was identified as a possible interactor of the Arabidopsis G-protein β subunit, AGB1, by yeast two-hybrid screening. A bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay showed that PUB20 interacted with AGB1 in the nuclei and the cytosol. The expression levels of PUB20 and its closest homolog, PUB2...
متن کاملHigh glucose condition down-regulates the inhibitory G-protein subunit, Gαi, in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells
Introduction: G-proteins have an important role in the cell signaling of numerous receptors. The situation of G-proteins in health and disease and their critical role in the development of diabetic side effects is an interested scientific field. Here, the changes in the expression of G-protein subunits (Gαi, Gαs and Gβ) were evaluated in hyperglycemic situation of PC12 cells as...
متن کاملProduction of Brucella lumazine Synthase Recombinant Protein to Design a Subunit Vaccine against Undulant Fever
Brucella bacterium causes Brucellosis, an infectious disease spreading from animals to human. Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS) is a highly immunogenic protein with adjuvant properties, which has been introduced as an effective protein carrier for vaccine development. This protein also plays a significant role in inducing immune system. This study aimed to clone, express, and purify the BLS gene...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Protein B Subunit Pili from Vibrio Cholera
Background & Aims: Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes cholera disease. Following ingestion by a host and entry into the upper intestine, V. cholera colonizes and begins to emit enterotoxin. One of the most pathogenic factors of Vibrio cholera is toxin-coregulated pili (TCP). ToxinCoregulated pili is as the primary factor requiered for the colonization and insisten...
