  Repulsive interactions towards undesirable substrates are arguably a very efficient means to implement specificity [8]. In particular, it could be assumed that discrimination against a substrate that is larger than the cognate substrate may be achieved easily by restricting the active site and explo

  UBA5 belongs to the non-canonical E1 enzymes that lack a defined Cys domain but have the active-site Cys within the adenylation domain [24]. Similar to other E1 enzymes, UBA5's adenylation domain comprises an eight-stranded beta sheet that is surrounded by helices [21]. Moreover, like the ancestral

  2021-08-25

  

  Introduction Determining how genes function together as biological systems is a defining challenge of the genomic era. While genome sequences reveal the DNA blueprint of organisms, deciphering how this blueprint leads to biological function is challenging due in large part to the complexity of prot

  Besides chemopreventive effects against oxidative DNA damage we evaluated the protective effects of the three Hypericum sp. and isolated compounds against alkylating DNA damage induced by MMS in HT29 cells. Human exposure to alkylating agents, from different sources, occurs in a continuous way and i

  Moreover, maintaining the pyrimidine pool is not the only important role played by DHODHs. In Toxoplasma gondii, for instance, DHODH plays a second essential function [38] possibly coupled to the mitochondrial respiratory activity, where it replenishes ubiquinol levels and prevents reactive oxygen s

  Introduction Psoralea corylifolia L. (Leguminosae) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, and it has been widely used for the treatment of various diseases like bronchial asthma, leucopenia, vitiligo and psoriasis in East Asian countries (Zhang et al., 1990). Previous studies have reported t

  Studies also provide evidence that cytokines such as TGF-β, a TH3-type cytokine, may also play a role in airway remodeling. Data obtained by Cohen et al suggest that TGF-β1 can induce human BSMC proliferation by increasing the expression of IGFBP-3. Hence, the mitogenic action of TGF-β1 could be rel

  Introduction The carnitine/choline acyltransferase family is a family of enzymes that play diverse roles, ranging from (the regulation of) Alisol B 23-acetate and fuel metabolism in mitochondria and peroxisomes to the generation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In mammals, this family consis

  Other membrane currents are affected as well. Some studies have provided evidence that sulfonylureas, in addition to blocking KATP channels, also inhibit chloride and calcium channels. GLYB has been shown to almost inhibit the current generated by Na+–K+ pumps in a concentration-dependent manner (wi

  Other studies have investigated the role of HDAC inhibitors in particular signaling pathways mediated by EWS–FLI1 (Matsumoto et al., 2001). A recent investigation, showed a physical association of EWS–FLI1 and HDAC1 that helps mediate a disruption in the p53 activation of downstream targets (Li et a

  Furan analogs and N-methylpyrrole analogs had completely different SARs. For example, replacement of the furan-2-sulfonyl moiety of 6 with the furan-3-sulfonyl moiety resulted in 8 with a decreased EP1 calcium calmodulin dependent protein kinase affinity and an increased antagonist activity, while

  Introduction O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA-repair enzyme that specifically transfers alkyl adducts from the O6 position of guanine to the cysteine residue (Cys145) in its active site. In cancer cells, this ability of MGMT disrupts the cytotoxic actions of alkylating antic

  Author Contributions Acknowledgments Introduction Many anticancer agents bind covalently to DNA, introduce bulky adducts, and inhibit DNA metabolic processes including repair, replication and transcription.1., 2., 3. Frequently, the first enzymes to encounter DNA adducts are DNA helicases.

  Expression of MGMT in human Mycophenolate Mofetil can be switched off by enzymatic methylation of a cytosine residue in the MGMT promoter sequence. In this regard, both MGMT and the mismatch repair function MLH1 belong to a subset of DNA repair genes that are subjected to epigenetic control. In con
