Regulatory Circuits Controlling Photosynthesis Gene Expression
Carl E. Bauer and Terry H. Bird reduced (and protonated) it migrates to the cytochrome bc1 complex. The cytochrome bc1 complex then cycles Department of Biology Indiana University electrons from the quinone back to the reaction center via cytochrome c2 (or cytochrome cy). The bc1 complex Bloomington, Indiana 47405 also functions to translocate protons across the cytoplasmic membrane which creat...
متن کاملTranscriptional Regulatory Circuits Controlling Brown Fat Development and Activation
Brown and beige adipose tissue is specialized for heat production and can be activated to reduce obesity and metabolic dysfunction in animals. Recent studies also have indicated that human brown fat activity levels correlate with leanness. This has revitalized interest in brown fat biology and has driven the discovery of many new regulators of brown fat development and function. This review sum...
متن کاملRegulatory circuits controlling white versus brown adipocyte differentiation.
Adipose tissue is a major endocrine organ that exerts a profound influence on whole-body homoeostasis. Two types of adipose tissue exist in mammals: WAT (white adipose tissue) and BAT (brown adipose tissue). WAT stores energy and is the largest energy reserve in mammals, whereas BAT, expressing UCP1 (uncoupling protein 1), can dissipate energy through adaptive thermogenesis. In rodents, ample e...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulatory circuits controlling mitochondrial biogenesis and function.
We are witnessing a period of renewed interest in the biology of the mitochondrion. The mitochondrion serves a critical function in the maintenance of cellular energy stores, thermogenesis, and apoptosis. Moreover, alterations in mitochondrial function contribute to several inherited and acquired human diseases and the aging process. This review summarizes our understanding of the transcription...
متن کاملMineralocorticoid receptor activation promotes vascular cell calcification.
OBJECTIVE Clinical studies demonstrate that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonism improves outcomes in cardiovascular patients and that vascular calcification correlates with adverse cardiac events. We have recently demonstrated that human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) express functional MRs that, in response to aldosterone, modulate expression of osteogenic genes including alkaline...
