Abstract

The c-src protein isolated from neuronal cells (pp60c-src+) displays a higher level of protein kinase activity than does pp60c-src from nonneural tissues. There are two structural alterations present in the amino-terminal half of pp60c-src+ expressed in neurons which could contribute to the enhanced activity of this form of pp60c-src: (i) a hexapeptide insert located at amino acid 114 of avian pp60c-src+ and (ii) a novel site(s) of serine phosphorylation. We characterized pp60c-src+ expressed in a nonneuronal cell type to identify factors that regulate the activity of the c-src+ protein and the importance of the neuronal environment on this regulation. The c-src+ protein overexpressed in chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) displayed higher kinase activity than did pp60c-src. The major sites of phosphorylation of the c-src+ protein were Ser-17 and Tyr-527. The unique site(s) of serine phosphorylation originally identified in pp60c-src+ expressed in neurons was not detected in the c-src+ protein overexpressed in CEFs. Therefore, the hexapeptide insert is sufficient to cause an elevation in the tyrosine protein kinase activity of pp60c-src+. Our data also indicate that CEFs infected with the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)c-src+ display ph...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
