Ursolic Acid, a Natural Nutraceutical Agent, Targets Caspase3 and Alleviates Inflammation‐Associated Downstream Signal Transduction
SCOPE Ursolic acid (UA) is a pentacyclicterpenoid carboxylic acid that is present in a wide variety of plant foods. There are many beneficial health effects that are attributed to the properties of UA. However, the specific cellular targets of UA and the mechanism underlying downstream signal transduction processes linked to the anti-inflammation pathway have not been thoroughly elucidated to d...
متن کاملDDSE: downstream targets of the SNF3 signal transduction pathway.
Mutations in the yeast SNF3 gene affect glucose sensing and snf3 mutants show defective growth on glucose. DNA sequence dependent suppressing elements (DDSEs) are regions located in the promoters of yeast glucose transporter (HXT) genes that when present in high copy suppress the snf3 growth defect. Here we provide evidence that the multicopy DDSE suppression is due to the titration of the Rgt1...
متن کاملAbscisic Acid Signal Transduction.
The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a major role in seed maturation and germination, as well as in adaptation to abiotic environmental stresses. ABA promotes stomatal closure by rapidly altering ion fluxes in guard cells. Other ABA actions involve modifications of gene expression, and the analysis of ABA-responsive promoters has revealed a diversity of potential cis-acting regulatory el...
متن کاملAmino-acid-dependent signal transduction.
Recent research carried out in several laboratories has indicated that, in addition to their role as intermediates in many metabolic pathways, amino acids can interact with insulin-dependent signal transduction. In this short review, the current state of this rapidly expanding field is discussed.
متن کاملSignal transduction pathways: targets for green and black tea polyphenols.
Tea is one of the most popular beverages consumed in the world and has been demonstrated to have anti-cancer activity in animal models. Research findings suggest that the polyphenolic compounds, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate found primarily in green tea, and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate, a major component of black tea, are the two most effective anti-cancer factors found in tea. Several mechanism...
