  ER stress was monitored by both an increase of the ER chaperone (GRP78, GRP94) and the activation of the ER resident caspase-12. ER stress response (also known as the unfolded protein response) is a defense mechanism against various cellular stresses which causes accumulation of unfolded proteins in

  The ubiquitin-like modifier NEDD8 (NEURAL PRECURSOR CELL EXPRESSED, DEVELOPMENTALLY DOWN-REGULATED 8) uses similar enzymatic machineries for NEDD8 conjugation as ubiquitin (Figure 1) [11, 12, 13, 14]. In plants as well as in other eukaryotes, the number of E3 ligases for NEDD8 and the number of know

  Introduction O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA-repair enzyme that specifically transfers alkyl adducts from the O6 position of guanine to the cysteine residue (Cys145) in its active site. In cancer cells, this ability of MGMT disrupts the cytotoxic actions of alkylating antic

  Introduction Protein modification by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins is one of the most common and important regulatory mechanisms in biology (Finley et al., 2004, Pickart, 2004). Ubiquitination is carried out by an enzymatic cascade consisting of three steps. In the first step, ubiquitin i

  Lately, using receptor TM peptides, BiFC and PLA experiments, we have also obtained experimental evidence for the tetrameric structure of A1R–D1R, which explains the canonical interaction on Gi and Gs, respectively (Fig. 2). We have demonstrated for the first time the presence of this heterotetramer

  In neurodegenerative disorders neurons are excited by enormous ionic flow which induces mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Glutamate as the main excitatory neurotransmitter, is released excessively in these diseases. Glutamate acts through N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and α-amino-3-hyd

  Experiments on the rat model of E. coli pyelonephritis, performed to investigate the relationship between the acute inflammatory processes and the permanent kidney damage (Brooks et al., 1974), have demonstrated a positive correlation between the degree of free radical-mediated renal injury and the

  Based on the above, we hypothesized that a PROTAC strategy would be effective to induce CK2 protein degradation. Herein reported is an approach for the preparation of novel PROTACs via “click reaction” for degradation of CK2 protein (Fig. 2). Importantly, “click reaction” is a very facile, selective

  The second part of this study evaluated the role of CK1 in the eFABP4 cellular uptake in endothelial cells. By blocking CK1 expression using a specific siRNA, we corroborated that the presence of CK1 was fundamental for FABP4 cellular uptake and internalization in endothelial cells, thus decreased m

  Phosphorylation of small GTPases has been also observed to affect binding affinity for the GDP/GTP cycle regulators notably GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) [10]. Indeed the EGF or cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of Cdc42 is associated with enhanced Cdc42–GDI interaction [8], [11]. RhoA inhibition by

  Introduction Hepatocarcinoma is a common and aggressive form of cancer (Trad et al., 2017). Due to a high rate of postoperative recurrence and metastasis, the prognosis for HCC remains dismal (Wang et al., 2017a, 2017b). Subclinical metastasis is the major cause responsible for tumor recurrence and
