Regulating the regulators
According to a modest estimation, one third of the known eukaryotic proteins can be phosphorylated. Protein kinases are members of a large superfamily and incorporate the phosphate moiety into the serine (Ser), threonine (Thr) or tyrosine (Tyr) residues of their target proteins. In comparison, protein phosphatases are less numerous but more diverse. They can be classified into four independent ...
متن کاملRegulating the regulators: SOCS3 joins the dance.
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells belong to a prototypical regulatory T cell lineage that functions at the interface of innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Unlike peptide-restricted T cells, iNKT cells recognise and respond to various glycolipid antigens presented in the context of the major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecule CD1d. 1 iNKT cells possess a number of unique ...
متن کاملRegulating the Regulators: microRNA and Asthma
One obstacle to developing an effective therapeutic strategy to treat or prevent asthma is that the fundamental causes of asthma are not totally understood. Asthma is thought to be a chronic TH2 immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Epigenetic changes are recognized to play a role in the initiation and maintenance of a TH2 response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key epigenetic regulators of gene expre...
متن کاملRegulating the Regulators Reforming Federal Regulation
First we had market failure; so we tried regulating markets. Then we had regulatory failure; so we tried reforming regulation. Now, it seems, we have "reform failure." That, at least, is the message of a recent book on regulatory reform written by Robert Litan and William Nordhaus, based on their experience as "watchdogs of the regulatory process" in President Carter's Council of Economic Advis...
متن کاملRegulating transcription regulators via allostery and flexibility.
A llosteric control of transcriptional regulatory proteins enables organisms to respond to changes in environmental and metabolic conditions. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcriptional regulatory proteins sense the availability of a broad range of small molecules including metal ions, metabolites, and drugs with the final biological outcome of altering transcriptional activity of specific genes...
