The p38/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAP kinase 2)/heat shock protein (HSP)25/27 pathway is thought to play a critical role in actin dynamics. In the present study, we examined whether p38 was involved in the morphological changes seen in endothelial cells (EC) exposed to shear stress. Cultured bovine aortic EC were subjected to 14 dyn/cm(2) laminar stea...

Crustacean muscle has four calpain-like proteinase activities (CDP I, IIa, IIb and III) that are involved in molt-induced claw muscle atrophy, as they degrade myofibrillar proteins in vitro and in situ. Using PCR cloning techniques, three full-length calpain cDNAs (Gl-CalpB, Gl-CalpM and Gl-CalpT) were isolated from limb regenerates of the tropical land crab Gecarcinus lateralis. All three had ...

The present work deals with the antifungal activity of SN 105-843 (Naftifine) against dermatophytes in vivo. Fifty cases suffering from various types of dermatomycoses were studied from November 1979 to September l980. The patients were supplied with 1% gel preparation of SN 105-843 for local application on the lesion for a period of 2-8 weeks. The results indicate that the drug has very signif...

The entry of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) into biologically relevant epithelial and endothelial cells involves endocytosis followed by low-pH-dependent fusion. This entry pathway is facilitated by the HCMV UL128, UL130, and UL131 proteins, which form one or more complexes with the virion envelope glycoprotein gH/gL. gH/gL/UL128-131 complexes appear to be distinct from the gH/gL/gO complex, whic...
