  2022-01-17

  

  Mammals have three known Gli proteins: Gli-1, -2 and -3. Gli-1 does not undergo proteosomal degradation and hence, remains untruncated and always acts as a transcription promoter. Gli-1 is an important target gene for Gli-2. Full-length Gli-2 accumulates when Smo is activated because activated Smo p

  HCC is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors and a leading cause of cancer-related death, globally [[11], [12], [13]]. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is closely related to the development of liver diseases [[14], [15], [16], [17]]. More than 350 million people are chronically infected with H

  Introduction In the 1980s, nitric oxide (NO) was first characterized as critical to both innate immunity and endogenous signaling in animals [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]]. NO was the first gaseous signaling molecule synthesized by animals to have its biochemical signaling pathway fully described [2]. P

  The beta-catenin/TCF complex is an important target in the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. This complex has proven challenging to target. However, natural inhibitors of this complex have been identified. One group of inhibitors is called the inhibitors of Wnt response (IWR-1/2). IWR-1/2 targets Axin and s

  2022-01-17

  

  Crystal structures from soluble E2 constructs (Khan et al., 2014; Kong et al., 2013) have revealed globular protein with no regular structure in spite of having eight disulphide bonds (Kong et al., 2013). Although 62% of the protein exists in loops or disordered structures, overall it was well-defin

  At the second step, blind docking simulation of 150 independent runs was performed with smaller grid box. Structures of open (1v4t.pdb), semi-closed (4dch.pdb) and two structures of closed configuration of GK (pdb codes are 1v4s and 3vev) were used for simulation (for detailed explanations on can se

  Various strategies have been pursued in the search for GIPR antagonists. Antibodies raised against both GIP(1–42) [14], [15] or the GIPR [16], [17], a small molecule antagonist [18], amino farnesyl diphosphate synthase substitutions of GIP(1–42) [19], and various GIP(1–42) truncations and modificati

  Conclusions Acknowledgement Work in the authors’ labs was funded by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (OGP0194652 and OGP0041653) and Diabète Québec. Introduction Fifty years ago, Sydney Brenner proposed Caenorhabditis elegans as a useful model for the study of an

  Determination of enzyme activity differs from other analytical procedures. In this glycogen phosphorylase case, instead of enzyme concentration, a substrate depletion or product accumulation should be monitored. Such approach allows calculating activity basis of calibration curves performed for enz

  Zn2+ is the second most abundant trace metal in many cells and neurons in the brain. It regulates cellular functions such as gene expression, epigenetic enzymatic activity, protein structural stability, and neuronal plasticity. Zn2+ is particularly abundant in the cortex and limbic system, including

  2022-01-17

  

  FXR agonists represent an attractive class of drugs for patients with PFIC. Synthetic and semi-synthetic FXR agonists, with higher affinity and potency to activate FXR, have been successfully tested in animal models of cholestasis. In these murine models, the semi-synthetic steroidal FXR ligand obet

  Lastly, certain populations of immune cells may be Hh responsive. Although PC have not been demonstrated in healthy liver-resident macrophages or lymphocytes, macrophages in injured livers have been shown to produce Hh ligands[58], [100], [101] and treating liver-derived macrophages with neutralisin
