For the first time AFM (atomic-force microscopy) was used to record significant changes in geometric parameters of image erythrocytes vitro under conditions glycolytic starvation (ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) deficiency). The difference action antioxidants, phenosan K, and Ihfan-10 on that we detected with seems be mainly due their hydrophobicity. We method research self-organization components...

Abstract Ideonella sakaiensis ( I. ) can grow on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the major carbon and energy source. Previous work has shown that PET conversion in presence of oxygen released dioxide water while yielding adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. This study demonstrates is a facultative anaerobe ferments to feedstock chemicals acetate ethanol absence ox...

1 Purinergic signalling is involved both in short-term control of vascular tone and in longer-term control of cell proliferation, migration and death involved in vascular remodelling. 2 There is dual control of vascular tone by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) released from perivascular nerves and by ATP released from endothelial cells in response to changes in blood flow (shear stress) and hypo...

The mechanism of in vitro inactivation and ATP-dependent rapid reactivation of rat liver tyrosine aminotransferase by a membrane-bound system from rat liver and kidney cortex and the nucleotide specificity of this process was investigated using partially purified tyrosine amino-transferase as a substrate. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) could be replaced by guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP), Wher...

Adenosine, adenine, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP), AMP, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, adenosine diphosphate, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were recovered quantitatively from aqueous portions of lipid extracts of microfouling, detrital, and sedimentary microbial communities. These could be detected quantitatively in the picomolar range by forming their 1-N-etheno derivatives and a...

Katanin, a member of the AAA adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) superfamily, uses nucleotide hydrolysis energy to sever and disassemble microtubules. Many AAA enzymes disassemble stable protein-protein complexes, but their mechanisms are not well understood. A fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay demonstrated that the p60 subunit of katanin oligomerized in an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)...

Effects of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dbc AMP) on the Na+-K+ pump of cell membrane were studied by testing the effects of these nucleotides on the 22Na+-efflux from frog skeletal muscle fibres. The rate coefficient of 22Na+-efflux was found to be significantly increased by ATP 3 mM. Dbc AMP 3 mM showed no demonstrable effect. These results support...

The nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue ATP gamma S (adenosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate) is affinity cross-linked to GroEL by formation of a disulfide bridge in a peroxide-promoted reaction. By replacing with serine each of 3 cysteine residues in GroEL, it is shown that ATP gamma S specifically cross-links to Cys-137. It is thus demonstrated that the ATP bound to GroEL is in direct contact with Cys-137.

Keratinocytes are the major building blocks of the human epidermis. In many physiological and pathophysiological conditions, keratinocytes release adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an autocrine/paracrine mediator that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. ATP receptors have been identified in various epidermal cell types; therefore, extracellular ATP homeostasis likely det...
