Reactive oxygen species and redox compartmentalization
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and signaling are of major importance and regulate a number of processes in physiological conditions. A disruption in redox status regulation, however, has been associated with numerous pathological conditions. In recent years it has become increasingly clear that oxidative and reductive modifications are confined in a spatio-temporal manner. This makes R...
متن کاملExpression of Influenza Heamagglutinin Globular Head in Different Eukaryotic Cells
Background and Aims: Influenza (flu) is a respiratory infection in mammals and birds. It is caused by an RNA virus in the family Orthomyxoviridae. The virus is divided into three main types. Influenza virus type A is found in a wide variety of bird and mammal species and can undergo major shifts in immunological properties. Hemagglutinin (HA) is an important influenza virus surface antigen that...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 protease 3C induces cell death in eukaryotic cells
Abstract: Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is the most common agent known to cause viral myocarditis. The viral genome encodes a single polyprotein that is cleaved to produce several proteins by virally encoded proteases. Most of this proteolytic processing is catalyzed by a cysteine protease called 3C. The 3C protease plays major role in viral replication and cellular damage. To understand the mecha...
متن کاملThiol-based redox switches in eukaryotic proteins.
For many years, oxidative thiol modifications in cytosolic proteins were largely disregarded as in vitro artifacts, and considered unlikely to play significant roles within the reducing environment of the cell. Recent developments in in vivo thiol trapping technology combined with mass spectrometric analysis have now provided convincing evidence that thiol-based redox switches are used as molec...
متن کاملAngiotensin II signaling in the brain: compartmentalization of redox signaling?
Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a profoundly important signaling component of the renin-angiotensin system. Its principal functions are related to cardiovascular homeostasis, and its many targets include vascular myocytes, endothelium, cardiac myocytes, fibroblasts, diverse cells in the kidney and adrenal gland, and cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Ang II contributes to the physi...
