Here, we report the identification of dimethylarsinothioyl glutathione (DMMTA(V)(GS)) as a metabolite in cellular extracts of dimethyarsinous glutathione (Darinaparsin, DMA(III)(GS)) treated human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Co-elution of sulfur and arsenic on the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) indicated the presence of sulfur along with arsenic in the newly observe...

The GTPase activity of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (Gs) of hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase was investigated using purified rabbit hepatic Gs and either [alpha-32P]- or [gamma-32P] GTP as substrate. The binding of [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was used to quantitate the total concentration of Gs. 1) GTPase activity was a saturable func...

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by reduced muscle glycogen synthesis. The key enzyme in this process, glycogen synthase (GS), is activated via proximal insulin signaling, but the exact molecular events remain unknown. Previously, we demonstrated that phosphorylation of Thr³⁰⁸ on Akt (p-Akt-Thr³⁰⁸), Akt2 activity, and GS activity in muscle were positively associated with insulin sensitivity. He...

Labow, Brian I., Wiley W. Souba, and Steve F. Abcouwer. Glutamine synthetase expression in muscle is regulated by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Endocrinol. Metab. 39): E1136–E1145, 1999.— Skeletal muscle exports glutamine (Gln) and increases the expression of the enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS) in response to physiological stress. Acute stress or dire...

Epinephrine increases glycogen synthase (GS) phosphorylation and decreases GS activity but also stimulates glycogen breakdown, and low glycogen content normally activates GS. To test the hypothesis that glycogen content directly regulates GS phosphorylation, glycogen breakdown was stimulated in condition with decreased GS activation. Saline or epinephrine (0.02 mg/100 g rat) was injected subcut...

GS-9620 is a potent and selective oral Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist that directly activates plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). GS-9620 suppressed hepatitis B virus (HBV) in animal models of chronic infection and transiently activated HIV expression ex vivo in latently infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from virally suppressed patients. Currently, GS-9620 is under clini...
