Abstract

Interaction between the viral oncoprotein pp60v-src and the phosphatidylinositol (PI) pathway was studied in a Balb/c 3T3 cell line expressing a temperature-sensitive pp60v-src (LA90). The rate of PI turnover was estimated from the accumulation of water soluble inositol phosphates in the presence of Li+. Though the basal rate of inositol phosphate accumulation was not altered by activation of pp60v-src, the rate of accumulation after stimulation with serum was twice as great in cells with active v-src protein (permissive temperature, 35 degrees C) as in cells at the restrictive temperature (40 degrees C). This difference was not due to the change in temperature, because serum-stimulated control Balb/c 3T3 cells accumulated the same amounts of inositol phosphates at 35 degrees and 40 degrees C. The pp60v-src effect required the viral kinase to be active for 8-24 h and could be blocked by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. Long term activation of other tyrosine protein kinases, such as the EGF receptor, did not induce this effect. Moreover, stimulation of PI turnover in LA90 cells by PDGF and thrombin was not enhanced at 35 degrees C, suggesting that the effect of pp60v-src is not general to all receptor systems coupl...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.
