Septin functions in organ system physiology and pathology.
Human septins comprise a family of 13 genes that encode for >30 protein isoforms with ubiquitous and tissue-specific expressions. Septins are GTP-binding proteins that assemble into higher-order oligomers and filamentous polymers, which associate with cell membranes and the cytoskeleton. In the last decade, much progress has been made in understanding the biochemical properties and cell biologi...
متن کاملPeripheral Functions of the Endocannabinoid System: Pathology and Physiology
Introduction Although the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is best known for its important neuromodulatory role, it has become apparent in recent years that the physiology of almost every organ is affected by the ECS. This is especially true under pathological conditions, in which an up-regulation of the expression of cannabinoid receptors and increased endocannabinoid production can often be obser...
متن کاملSeptin Organization and Functions in Budding Yeast
The septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins present in all eukaryotic cells except plants. They were originally discovered in the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that serves until today as an important model organism for septin research. In yeast, the septins assemble into a highly ordered array of filaments at the mother bud neck. The septins are regulators of spatial com...
متن کاملTissue plasminogen activator in central nervous system physiology and pathology.
Although conventionally associated with fibrin clot degradation, recent work has uncovered new functions for the tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)/plasminogen cascade in central nervous system physiology and pathology. This extracellular proteolytic cascade has been shown to have roles in learning and memory, stress, neuronal degeneration, addiction and Alzheimer's disease. The current review ...
متن کاملThe ubiquitin-proteasome system in cardiac physiology and pathology.
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is the major nonlysosomal pathway for intracellular protein degradation, generally requiring a covalent linkage of one or more chains of polyubiquitins to the protein intended for degradation. It has become clear that the UPS plays major roles in regulating many cellular processes, including the cell cycle, immune responses, apoptosis, cell signaling, and p...
