Schistosome tegumental ecto-apyrase (SmATPDase1) degrades exogenous pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic nucleotides
Schistosomes are parasitic worms that can survive in the hostile environment of the human bloodstream where they appear refractory to both immune elimination and thrombus formation. We hypothesize that parasite migration in the bloodstream can stress the vascular endothelium causing this tissue to release chemicals alerting responsive host cells to the stress. Such chemicals are called damage a...
متن کاملATP and ADP actin states.
This minireview is dedicated to the memory of Henryk Eisenberg and honors his major contributions to many areas of biophysics and to the analysis of macromolecular states and interactions in particular. This work reviews the ATP and ADP states of a ubiquitous protein, actins, and considers the present evidence for and against unique, nucleotide-dependent conformations of this protein. The effec...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP Released by Osteoblasts Is A Key Local Inhibitor of Bone Mineralisation
Previous studies have shown that exogenous ATP (>1 µM) prevents bone formation in vitro by blocking mineralisation of the collagenous matrix. This effect is thought to be mediated via both P2 receptor-dependent pathways and a receptor-independent mechanism (hydrolysis of ATP to produce the mineralisation inhibitor pyrophosphate, PP(i)). Osteoblasts are also known to release ATP constitutively. ...
متن کاملRewards modulate saccade latency but not exogenous spatial attention
The eye movement system is sensitive to reward. However, whilst the eye movement system is extremely flexible, the extent to which changes to oculomotor behavior induced by reward paradigms persist beyond the training period or transfer to other oculomotor tasks is unclear. To address these issues we examined the effects of presenting feedback that represented small monetary rewards to spatial ...
متن کاملThe platelet ATP and ADP receptors.
Adenine nucleotides, ADP and ATP, are coreleased from dense granules during platelet activation, as well as from endothelial cells and damaged red blood cells following vascular injury. Through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms, these extracellular signaling molecules interact with the platelet P2 receptors to amplify ongoing platelet activation. Two receptors for ADP, the G(q)-protein-coupled...
