Stability and Oligomeric Equilibria of Refolded Interleukin-1β Converting Enzyme

stability and attraction domains of traffic equilibria in day-to-day dynamical system formulation

در این پژوهش مسئله واگذاری ترافیک را از دید سیستم های دینامیکی فرمول بندی می کنیم.فرض کرده ایم که همه فاکتورهای وابسته در طول زمان ثابت باشند و تعادل کاربر را از طریق فرایند منظم روزبه روز پیگیری کنیم.دینامیک ترافیک توسط یک نگاشت بازگشتی نشان داده می شود که تکامل سیستم در طول زمان را نشان می دهد.پایداری تعادل و دامنه جذب را توسط مطالعه ویژگی های توپولوژیکی تکامل سیستم تجزیه و تحلیل می کنیم.پاید...

Interleukin-1β-converting enzyme-deficient mice resist central but not systemic endotoxin-induced anorexia.

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mediates many of the behavioral responses to infection and inflammation, and IL-1β-converting enzyme (ICE) processes intracellular IL-1β, leading to its maturation and secretion. Here we demonstrate that intracerebroventricular injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced a greater reduction in both food intake and food-motivated behavior in wild-type compared with ICE...

Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Express Interleukin-1β–converting Enzyme (ICE), but Inhibit Processing of the Interleukin-1β Precursor by ICE

Local immunoregulatory processes during normal vascular biology or pathogenesis are mediated in part by the production of and response to cytokines by vessel wall cells. Among these cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 is considered to be of major importance. Although vascular smooth muscle (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC) expressed both IL-1alpha and IL-1beta as cell-associated, 33-kilodalton (kD) pre...

Interleukin 1β-converting Enzyme Related Proteases/Caspases Are Involved in TRAIL-induced Apoptosis of Myeloma and Leukemia Cells

The Fas/APO-1/CD95 ligand (CD95L) and the recently cloned TRAIL ligand belong to the TNF-family and share the ability to induce apoptosis in sensitive target cells. Little information is available on the degree of functional redundancy between these two ligands in terms of target selectivity and intracellular signalling pathway(s). To address these issues, we have expressed and characterized re...
