Purified preparations of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase (specific activity 6 to 42 units/mg of protein) were found to be contaminated with calciumdependent kinase(s) which catalyzed the phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase b and glycogen synthase. In a series of glycogen synthase preparations there was a correlation between the phosphorylation rates of glycogen synthase and of ad...

microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (mark2) protein has a substantial role in regulation of vital cellular processes like induction of polarity, regulation of cell junctions, cytoskeleton structure and cell differentiation. the abnormal function of this protein has been associated with a number of pathological conditions like alzheimer disease, autism, several carcinomas and development of...

beauveria spp. as entomopathogenic fungi have extremely diverse insect host ranges.here, a comparative transcript analysis of a bassiasin i (bsni), a dipeptidyl peptidase (dpp), a cytochrom p450 monooxygenase (cyp52), a mitogen activated protein kinase (mapk), and a neuronal calcium sensor 1 (ncs) in two isolates of beauveria bassiana., with low and high virulence, were carried out. for this, i...

nitric oxide (no) is thought to be involved in spatial learning and memory in several brain areas such as hippocampus. this study examined the effects of post-training intrahippocampal microinjections of 1400w as a selective inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos) inhibitor on spatial memory, in both anesthetized and non-anesthetized situations in rats. in the present work, 4-day training trials...

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that caused by many factors. However, the underlying mechanism of remains unclear. The current study focused on roles triptolide hydrogen peroxide treated nasal epithelial cells and underling mechanism. Hydrogen human were cultured different concentrations triptolide, cell growth death determined counting kit-8 flow cytometry methods. M...

The B cell-specific transmembrane protein RP-105 belongs to the family of Drosophila toll-like proteins which are likely to trigger innate immune responses in mice and man. Here we demonstrate that the Src-family protein tyrosine kinase Lyn, protein kinase C beta I/II (PKCbetaI/II), and Erk2-specific mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MEK) are essential and probably functionally con...
