Molecular characterization of the Caenorhabditis elegans ALP/Enigma gene alp-1.
Members of the ALP/Enigma family of PDZ-LIM proteins play a role in cytoskeletal anchorage and mutations in at least one member of this family are associated with human cardiomyopathy. Here, we describe the analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans alp-1 gene. alp-1 is predicted to encode the entire nematode ALP/Enigma protein family, consisting of one ALP-related protein with a single LIM domain ...
متن کاملALP/Enigma PDZ-LIM domain proteins in the heart.
Actinin-associated LIM protein (ALP) and Enigma are two subfamilies of Postsynaptic density 95, discs large and zonula occludens-1 (PDZ)-Lin-11, Isl1 and Mec-3 (LIM) domain containing proteins. ALP family members have one PDZ and one LIM domain, whereas Enigma proteins contain one PDZ and three LIM domains. Four ALP and three Enigma proteins have been identified in mammals, each having multiple...
متن کاملEvaluation of Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Heat Stable- ALP (HS-ALP) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Background: COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is defined as a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles and gases. Tobacco smoke remains the main etiological agent. COPD inflammation initiated by tobacco smoke...
متن کاملSupersymmetry for Alp Hikers
These lectures provide a phenomenological introduction to supersymmetry, concentrating on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). In the first lecture, motivations are provided for thinking that supersymmetry might appear at the TeV scale, including the naturalness of the mass hierarchy, gauge unification and the probable mass of the Higgs boson. In the second lecture...
متن کاملHunting for Chameleons in ALP searches
We discuss some recent developments in chameleon models presented at the Fourth Patras workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs. In particular we discuss the possibility of searching for chameleons in axion-like particle searches performed in the laboratory. Such chameleons may couple to both photons and matter with different coupling strengths. We discuss the exciting possibility of searching for t...
