Mammalian sialidases: physiological and pathological roles in cellular functions.
Sialic acids are terminal acidic monosaccharides, which influence the chemical and biological features of glycoconjugates. Their removal catalyzed by a sialidase modulates various biological processes through change in conformation and creation or loss of binding sites of functional molecules. Sialidases exist widely in vertebrates and also in a variety of microorganisms. Recent research on mam...
متن کاملPhysiological and Pathological Functions of Mammalian MicroRNAs
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 19to 26-nucleotide RNAs that regulate gene expression. Over 700 human miRNAgenes have been identified, with one report predicting close to 1000. Recent computational methods indicatethat up to 92% of human genes may be regulated by miRNA. In this chapter, we discuss recent progress inmiRNA biology and their roles in human disease pathogenesis, as well as o...
متن کاملPhysiological and Pathological Roles for MicroRNAs: Implications for Immunity Complications
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding regulatory RNAs molecules with a size of approximately 22 nucleotides that are implicated in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional regulatory levels. Inflammatory disorders especially autoimmune diseases (ADs) occur from an abnormal immune response of body against cells of their own specific tissues or multiple organ systems leading to ch...
متن کاملSOCS2: physiological and pathological functions.
Suppressors of cytokine signalling (SOCS) proteins are modulators of cytokine and growth factor signalling whose aberrant regulation has been linked to a variety of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. SOCS proteins are able to act as substrate-recruiting component of E3-ubiquitin ligase complexes and target interacting proteins for degradation. At least some of the family members can also dir...
متن کاملHMGB1 and its physiological and pathological roles.
HMGB1 has been formerly known for its intracellular function - as the intranuclear non-histone DNA binding protein, which contributes to stabilization of nucleosomes, mediation of DNA bending and is regarded to have an essential position in DNA repair. Lately, its participation in innate and specific immune responses has been revealed. Passively released from necrotic cells or actively produced...
