A Gs-selective analog of the receptor-mimetic peptide mastoparan binds to Gs alpha in a kinked helical conformation.
Mastoparan, a 14-residue peptide, stimulates GDP/GTP exchange on G proteins in a manner strikingly analogous to that of agonist-bound receptors. Presumably, the peptide structurally mimics a receptor's G protein-binding domain. We previously reported that mastoparan-X binds to alpha-subunits of Gi and Go in a predominantly alpha-helical conformation [Sukumar, M., & Higashijima, T. (1992) J. Bio...
متن کاملInteractions of HIV-1 NEF with cellular signal transducing proteins.
Nef is a 27 - 34 kD myristoylated protein unique to primate lentiviruses. A functional Nef gene is important for development of high viremia and simian AIDS in SIV infected rhesus macaques (1). In a transgenic mouse model expression of Nef protein alone when expressed under a CD4-promoter is sufficient to cause an AIDS like disease (2). A critical role for Nef in development of AIDS in humans i...
متن کاملEvaluating the Changes in Alpha-1 Band Due to Exposure to Magnetic Field
Introduction Increase in alpha band is observed when blood perfusion in frontal area of head decreases. The present study evaluated some changes in the alpha band particularly, alpha-1 of frontal and central areas of the head, when several areas were exposed simultaneously to magnetic field. Materials and Methods Five points of head (F3, F4, Cz, T3, and T4) of twenty healthy male participants w...
متن کاملGinkgolic acid specifically potentiates alpha 1 glycine receptors
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, 22–25 nucleotide long transcripts that may suppress entire signaling pathways by interacting with the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of coding mRNA targets, interrupting translation and inducing degradation of these targets. The long 3’-UTRs of brain transcripts compared to other tissues predict important roles for brain miRNAs. Supporting this notion, we found th...
متن کاملIncreased expression of Gs(alpha) enhances activation of the adenylyl cyclase signal transduction cascade.
Expression of the stimulatory G protein, G(S)alpha, can vary over a 3-fold range in human tissues and in rodent central nervous system. In fact, the offspring of alcoholics have higher levels of G(S)alpha expression in certain tissues compared with the offspring of nonalcoholics. The aim of this research was to test the hypothesis that a causal relationship exists between the level of expressio...
