Prostacyclin and its prostacyclin receptor, the IP, play essential roles in regulating haemostasis and vascular tone and have also been implicated in a range cardio-protective effects, but through largely unknown mechanisms. ...
Short linear motifs in proteins (typically 3–12 residues in length) play key roles in protein–protein interactions by frequently binding specifically to peptide binding domains within interacting proteins. Their tendency ...
Background: Short linear protein motifs are attracting increasing attention as functionally independent sites, typically 3-10 amino acids in length that are enriched in disordered regions of proteins. Multiple methods have ...
In humans, TPα and TPβ isoforms of the thromboxane A2 receptor are transcriptionally regulated by distinct promoters, designated Prm1 and Prm3. Previous investigations identified two upstream repressor regions (URR) 1 and ...
Accurate computational methods for predicting the electrostatic energies are of major importance for our understanding of protein energetics in general, for computer-aided drug design and in the design of novel biocatalysts ...
In humans, thromboxane (TX) A2 signals through two TXA2 receptor (TP) isoforms, termed TPalpha and TPbeta, that diverge exclusively within their carboxyl terminal cytoplasmic domains. The amino terminal extracellular ...
Protein kinases (PK) control phosphorylation in eukaryotic cells, and thereby regulate
metabolic pathways, cell cycle progression, apoptosis and transcription.
Consequently there is significant interest in manipulating ...
The chemical shift of the carboxylate carbon of Z-tryptophan is increased from 179.85 to 182.82 ppm and 182.87 on binding to thermolysin and stromelysin-1 respectively. The chemical shift of Z-phenylalanine is also increased ...
Prostacyclin is increasingly implicated in re-endothelialization and angiogenesis but through largely unknown mechanisms. Herein, the HDL scavenger receptor class B, type 1 (SR-B1) adapter protein PDZ domain-containing ...
In humans, thromboxane (TX) A2 signals through the TPα and TPβ isoforms of its G-protein coupled TXA2 receptor (TP) to mediate a host of (patho)physiologic responses. Herein, angio-associated migratory cell protein (AAMP) ...
