This experimental study was designed to examine whether hyperuricemia in hypothyroidism is associated with insulin resistance. For induction of hypothyroidism, rabbits (n = 12) were administered methimazole orally (75 mg/100 g food) for 30 days. T3, T4 and TSH values measured in plasma prior to and at the end of the experimentation period revealed the establishment of hypothyroidism. In the eut...

Using evolved pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNA(CUA)(Pyl) pairs, L-phenylalanine, p-iodo-L-phenylalanine and p-bromo-L-phenylalanine have been genetically incorporated into proteins at amber mutation sites in E. coli.

Calciphylaxis, necrotizing livedo reticularis or calcific uraemic arteriolopathy (CUA) is an almost always fatal disease characterized by painful skin lesions localized on the lower extremities. This complication is typically observed in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis or after recent kidney transplantation [1,2]. Key histopathological features include calcification of the med...

An amber suppressor tRNA was prepared in vitro by runoff transcription with T7 RNA polymerase. Both full-length tRNA and truncated tRNA lacking the 3' terminal pCpA from the acceptor stem could be synthesized from the same DNA template. Truncated runoff suppressor tRNA could be enzymatically ligated to phenylalanyl-pCpA to generate aminoacylated full-length suppressor tRNA (Phe-tRNA(CUA)). Phe-...

The three mitochondrial-encoded proteins, COX1, COX2, and COX3, form the core of the cytochrome c oxidase. Upon synthesis, COX2 engages with COX20 in the inner mitochondrial membrane, a scaffold protein that recruits metallochaperones for copper delivery to the CuA-Site of COX2. Here we identified the human protein, TMEM177 as a constituent of the COX20 interaction network. Loss or increase in ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is inactivated by mutation in about half of all tumors, making mutant a prime target for cancer therapy. Missense mutations R248W, R273H and R248Q are included the five most frequent total lead to more than 630 000 new diagnosed cases diseases world every year. These mutations, located at or near protein-DNA interface, inactivation loss direct p53-DNA interactions, caus...
