Physiological polyamines: simple primordial stress molecules
Physiological polyamines are ubiquitous polycations with pleiotropic biochemical activities, including regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and modulation of cell signalling. Reports that the polyamines with cytoprotective activities were induced by diverse stresses raised the hypothesis that physiological polyamines may play a role in inducing stress response. In a wide range of o...
متن کاملPrimordial molecules at millimeter wavelengths
Chemistry plays a particular role in astrophysics. After atomic hydrogen, helium and their ions, the Universe probably contains more mass in molecules than in any other species. Molecule formation in the early, pre-galactic Universe may have had much to do with the formation of galaxies themselves. In this context the possible interaction between primordial molecules and photons of the Cosmic M...
متن کاملIon Channels: A physiological function for polyamines?
It is now recognized that polyvalent organic cations, such as polyamines, can act as endogenous modifiers of ion-channel gating, properties which were previously assumed to be entirely intrinsic to the channel proteins. All cells possess myriad different ion channels, which span their plasma membranes. These proteins are usually made up of four or five subunits, which together form an ion-perme...
متن کاملRadiative cooling functions for primordial molecules
Cooling of primordial gas plays a crucial role in the birth of the first structures in our Universe. Due to the low fractional abundance of molecular species at high redshifts, spontaneous emission rather than collisions represents the most efficient way to cool the pristine plasma. In the present work, radiative cooling functions are evaluated for the diatomic species HD, HD+, HeH+, LiH and Li...
متن کاملAdhesion molecules for mouse primordial germ cells.
In the present article we will focus on the adhesion molecules expressed by mouse primordial germ cells (PGCs) and will discuss the role that they play, or are believed to play, in two crucial processes of PGC development, namely cell lineage specification and migration into the gonadal ridges. Recent findings indicate that the adhesion-dependent allocation of the PGC precursors to a niche with...
