Translation of picornavirus RNA is governed by the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element, directing the synthesis of a single polyprotein. Processing of the polyprotein is performed by viral proteases that also recognize as substrates host factors. Among these substrates are translation initiation factors and RNA-binding proteins whose cleavage is responsible for inactivation of cellular ...
Our previous study demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation of p145(met)/β-subunit of hepatocyte growth factor receptor by epidermal growth factor receptor and Src contributes to the anti-apoptotic growth of human bladder carcinoma cell 5637 under serum-starved conditions. Here, we show that some other cell lines of human bladder carcinoma, but not other types of human cancer cells, also exhi...
Ferritin (Ft) plays an important role in cellular iron metabolism. It can store substantial amounts of iron in a nontoxic soluble form. However, its ability to donate iron for cellular needs, in particular for hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis in human erythroid cells, is still controversial. We studied the role of intracellular Ft-iron in Hb synthesis and the involvement of lysosomal proteolysis in ir...
MARCKS (myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate) is a major cytoskeletal protein substrate of PKC (protein kinase C) whose cellular functions are still unclear. However numerous studies have implicated MARCKS in the stabilization of cytoskeletal structures during cell differentiation. The present study was performed to investigate the potential role of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinases (calpai...
Cell surface receptors can undergo recycling or proteolysis but the cellular decision-making events that sort between these pathways remain poorly defined. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) regulate signal transduction and angiogenesis, but how signaling and proteolysis is regulated is not well understood. Here, we provide e...
Protein degradation plays a critical role in cellular homeostasis, in regulating the cell cycle, and in the generation of peptides that are used in the immune response. The 20S proteasome core particle (CP), a barrel-like structure consisting of four heptameric protein rings stacked axially on top of each other, is central to this process. CP function is controlled by activator complexes that b...
The Huntington's disease (HD) mutation is a polyglutamine expansion in the N-terminal region of huntingtin (N-htt). How neurons die in HD is unclear. Mutant N-htt aggregates in neurons in the HD brain; expression of mutant N-htt in vitro causes cell death. Other in vitro studies show that proteolysis by caspase 3 could be important in regulating mutant N-htt function, but there has been no dire...
Currently, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being increasingly used as biocides in various consumer products and if released the environment they can affect non-target organisms. Therefore, understanding toxicity mechanism is crucial for both design of more efficient nano-antimicrobials nanomaterials that biologically environmentally benign throughout their life-cycle. Here, ciliate Tetrahymena...
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a multimeric plasma glycoprotein present in endothelial cells, megakaryocytes, platelets, and connective tissue. It mediates platelet adhesion small arteries. VWF also binds protects coagulation VIII from degradation. Moreover, involved inflammatory response, linking hemostasis inflammation. multimers platelets attached to damaged or activated endothelium mediate ...
In Escherichia coli, the transcription factor σS, encoded by rpoS, controls the expression of a large number of genes involved in cellular responses to a diverse number of stresses, including starvation, osmotic stress, acid shock, cold shock, heat shock, oxidative DNA damage, and transition to stationary phase. A list of over 50 genes under the control of rpoS has been compiled. The transcript...
