AG 879 has been widely used as a Tyr kinase inhibitor specific for ErbB2 and FLK-1, a VEGF receptor. The IC(50) for both ErbB2 and FLK-1 is around 1 microM. AG 879, in combination of PP1 (an inhibitor specific for Src kinase family), suppresses almost completely the growth of RAS-induced sarcomas in nude mice. In this paper we demonstrate that AG 879 even at 10 nM blocks the specific interactio...

Siderite (FeCO3) is commonly found in coal overburden and, when present, can cause interference in the determination of neutralization potential (NP). Under acidic testing conditions, FeCO3 reacts to neutralize acid, which contributes to the NP. However, continued weathering of FeCO3 (oxidation of Fe 21 and hydrolysis of Fe) produces a neutral to slightly acidic solution. The effects of hydroge...

Sec15, a component of the exocyst, recognizes vesicle-associated Rab GTPases, helps target transport vesicles to the budding sites in yeast and is thought to recruit other exocyst proteins. Here we report the characterization of a 35-kDa fragment that comprises most of the C-terminal half of Drosophila melanogaster Sec15. This C-terminal domain was found to bind a subset of Rab GTPases, especia...

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, antibiotics that kill the bacteria in vitro fail to eradicate them in the patient, while treatment with antibiotics to which the bacteria are apparently resistant in vitro can be associated with clinical improvement. In P. aeruginosa infections in other patients, both rifampicin and chloramphenicol, to which the organisms we...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a member of a nuclear receptor superfamily and acts as a ligand-dependent transcription factor, playing key roles in maintenance of adipose tissue and in regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis. This receptor is the target of thiazolidinediones, a class of antidiabetic drugs, which improve insulin sensitization and regulate glycemi...

BACKGROUND Interventions for T2DM have in part aimed to mimic exercise. Here, we have compared the independent and combined effects of a PPARdelta agonist and endurance training mimetic (GW501516) and a myostatin antibody and resistance training mimetic (PF-879) on metabolic and performance outcomes in obese insulin resistant mice. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Male ob/ob mice were treated f...
