SIRT1 is essential for normal cognitive function and synaptic plasticity.
Conservation of normal cognitive functions relies on the proper performance of the nervous system at the cellular and molecular level. The mammalian nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 impacts different processes potentially involved in the maintenance of brain integrity, such as chromatin remodeling, DNA repair, cell survival, and neurogenesis. Here we show that SIRT1...
متن کاملSIRPα signaling regulates podocyte structure and function.
Signal-regulatory protein-α (SIRPα) is a transmembrane protein that contains tyrosine phosphorylation sites in its cytoplasmic region; two tyrosine phosphatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2, bind to these sites in a phosphorylation-dependent manner and transduce multiple intracellular signals. Recently, SIRPα was identified as one of the major tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in the glomeruli and found to ...
متن کاملFarnesoid X receptor is essential for normal glucose homeostasis.
The bile acid receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR; NR1H4) is a central regulator of bile acid and lipid metabolism. We show here that FXR plays a key regulatory role in glucose homeostasis. FXR-null mice developed severe fatty liver and elevated circulating FFAs, which was associated with elevated serum glucose and impaired glucose and insulin tolerance. Their insulin resistance was confirmed by...
متن کاملComplexin II is essential for normal neurological function in mice.
Complexins (CPLXs) are modulators of synaptic vesicle release. At 1 year of age, CPLXII knockout (KO) mice appear normal. However, behavioral testing reveals underlying deficits of motor and cognitive function in these mice. We found motor deficits on the rotarod, and learning deficits in the Morris water maze (both acquisition and reversal) and the two-choice swim tank (reversal). The reversal...
متن کاملHairless is a nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
The activity of nuclear receptors is modulated by numerous coregulatory factors. Corepressors can either mediate the ability of nuclear receptors to repress transcription, or can inhibit transactivation by nuclear receptors. As we learn more about the mechanisms of transcriptional repression, the importance of repression by nuclear receptors in development and disease has become clear. The prot...
