Zinc Induces Apoptosis That Can Be Suppressed by Lanthanum in C6 Rat Glioma CellsBiological Chemistry - Tập 382 Số 8 - Trang 1227-1234 - 2001
Hajo Haase, Wim Wätjen, Detmar Beyersmann
AbstractZinc ions have both essential and toxic effects on mammalian cells. Here we report the ability of zinc to act as an inducer of apoptosis in C6 rat glioma cells. Incubation with 150 to 300 M ZnCl2 caused cell death that was characterized as apoptotic by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, formation of apoptotic bodies, nuclear fragmentation and breakdown of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemical chaperone-mediated protein folding: stabilization of P22 tailspike folding intermediates by glycerolBiological Chemistry - Tập 388 Số 8 - Trang 797-804
Rajesh Mishra, Rajiv Bhat, Robert Seckler
Abstract
Polyol co-solvents such as glycerol increase the thermal stability of proteins. This has been explained by preferential hydration favoring the more compact native over the denatured state. Although polyols are also expected to favor aggregation by the same mechanism, they have been found to increase the folding yields of some large, aggregat...... hiện toàn bộ
C-reactive protein and inflammation: conformational changes affect functionBiological Chemistry - Tập 396 Số 11 - Trang 1181-1197 - 2015

Abstract
The prototypic acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) has long been recognized as a useful marker and gauge of inflammation. CRP also plays an important role in host defense against invading pathogens as well as in inflammation. CRP consists of five identical subunits arranged as a cyclic pentamer. CRP exists in at least two conformationally distinc...... hiện toàn bộ
On the fate of early endosomesBiological Chemistry - Tập 390 Số 8 - Trang 753-759 - 2009
Anne Spang
Abstract
Proteins are endocytosed by various pathways into the cell. All these pathways converge at the level of the early endosome. The fate of the early endosome and how proteins are sorted into recycling and late endosomes/multi-vesicular body is a matter of debate and intense research. Obviously, the transition from early to late endosome poses a...... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular Models of Acidic PePtides From Pea Bud Chromatin And Seminal Plasma. Divalent Cations-Mediated Interaction With DnaBiological Chemistry - Tập 380 Số 1 - 1999

AbstractSmall acidic peptides have been isolated from biological fluids (blood and seminal plasma) and from chromatin of several tissues. Their biological activity is related to the control of cell growth and gene expression.This work is an approach to the study of peptide structure-function relationship. Purified fractions from seminal plasma and ...... hiện toàn bộ
