PAK-in' Up cGMP for the Move
نویسنده
چکیده
Although guanylyl cyclases have been implicated in cell migration, how they are activated to promote cell motility is unknown. In this issue, report direct communication between guanylyl cyclases and the Rac-p21-activated kinase (PAK) signaling pathway--which is essential for cell migration--to promote cell motility, through allosteric activation of guanylyl cyclases by autophosphorylated PAK.

A Rac-cGMP Signaling Pathway
The small GTPase Rac and the second messenger cGMP (guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate) are critical regulators of diverse cell functions. When activated by extracellular signals via membrane signaling receptors, Rac executes its functions through engaging downstream effectors such as p21-activated kinase (PAK), a serine/threonine protein kinase. However, the molecular mechanism by which memb...
متن کاملThe Effect of Teachers' Follow-up Move Approach (F-move) on Iranian EFL Learners' Conversation Quality
The present paper investigated the effect of teacher’s follow‐up move approach on Iranian EFL learners’ conversation quality. Ninety students were selected in a senior high school in Poldokhtar, Iran. Through an oral test sixty out of ninety students whose scores were between one standard deviation (SD) above and below the mean were selected as the participants of the study. Then they were divi...

Background: This study aimed to investigate Levisticum officinale hydroalcoholic extract (LOHE) effect on both cGMP signaling pathway and phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) gene expression pattern and to examine the role of LOHE in apoptosis induction of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cell lines. Methods: The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of LOHE was examined in both cell lines using the MTT assay...
متن کاملThe Role of NO and cGMP in vasodilatory effect of β2-adrenoceptors in rat skin
Introduction: In recent study both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent mechanisms have been reported for the action of β-adrenoceptor. The aim of this study was to investigate on the role of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosin monophosphate (cGMP) in vasodilation mechanisms of β2-adrenoceptors (β2-AR) in rat skin vessels. Methods: All drugs were injected subcutaneous into p...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Phosphodiesterase 3A and 3B Using Baculovirus Expression System
Background: Phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) play a critical role in the regulation of intracellular level of adenosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP, cAMP) and guanosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP, cGMP). Subsequently PDE3 inhibitors have shown to relax vascular and inhibit platelet aggregation in cardiovascular disease. Objectives: In th...
