  2022-02-28

  

  Toxoplasma gondii is an exceptionally tractable apicomplexan parasite that expresses a limited yet representative subset of apicomplexan cyclase orthologs, making it an ideal model for investigating cyclic nucleotide signaling in Apicomplexa. Of the five putative nucleotide cyclases, only TgACα1 and

  2022-02-26

  

  The discovery that the physiological functions of LPI are associated with the activation of specific GPR55 membrane receptor [4] has launched a new era of research on this lysophospholipid. However, the activation of membrane receptors by lysophospholipids is extremely complex due to the multitude o

  2022-02-26

  

  Recently, a G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR109a, was identified as a molecular target for niacin. Following this breakthrough, our group initiated a drug discovery program focused on the development of a high affinity ‘flush-free’ niacin-like agonist. Previously, we reported on the identification of

  2022-02-26

  

  In Locusta migratoria, a worldwide agricultural pest, we previously identified 51 CPRs containing eight endocuticle structural glycoproteins, which are homologs of SgAbd-1, SgAbd-2, SgAbd-3, SgAbd-4, SgAbd-5, SgAbd-6, SgAbd-8, and SgAbd-9 in the adult desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria [17,26].

  2022-02-26

  

  Both anxiety-like behavior and sucrose preference/intake were reduced in GPR40/FFAR1 KO male mice, while social behavior was normal in KO mice. These findings indicate that brain GPR40/FFAR1 is involved in the modulation of anxiety- and depression-like behavior in rodents. Previous studies have demo

  2022-02-26

  

  Cys-loop GABA receptors are well-studied targets for insecticides and also play an important role in nematode biology. These receptors are also targets for the anthelmintic piperizine (Accardi et al., 2012). The nematode GABA receptor most studied is the UNC-49 receptor which plays a role in muscle

  2022-02-26

  

  Regulation of FGF signalling is critical to ensure a balanced response to receptor stimulation. This occurs largely through negative feedback mechanisms, including receptor internalisation via ubiquitination (Wang et al., 2002) and induction of negative regulators, for example SPRY, SPRED 1 and 2 an

  2022-02-26

  

  Significance Metabolites present in the extracellular environment can potently modulate cellular phenotypes and potentially serve as therapeutics for various diseases. Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic cell death process characterized by the generation of toxic lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). I

  H2O2 induced astrocyte ATP release through lysosome exocytosis. The LDH assay and electric microscope results indicated that the increase of extracellular ATP concentration was not due to the cell rupture, but the alternations in cell activities. In addition, when lysosome exocytosis was blocked by

  2022-02-26

  

  Introduction Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone and the principal stimulator of erythropoiesis (Jelkmann, 2011). EPO promotes the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cells, which is important for oxygen transport. Low EPO levels in blood cause anemia; however, excessive lev

  2022-02-26

  

  The Hippo pathway is a growth control signaling cascade that has been demonstrated to play an important role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation [5,6]. The core signaling pathway consists of a group of kinases which negatively regulate the expression of transcriptional co-activators
