Abstract

Transient receptor potential Vanilloid ion channel sub type 4 (TRPV4) is involved in complex Ca2+-signaling. At least one copy of TRPV4 is present in all vertebrates and is involved in several physiological processes including sensory process and point mutations in TRPV4 leads to development of different pathophysiological disorders in human. R616Q mutant of TRPV4 has been referred as "gain-of-function" mutant causing abnormality in bone cells and develop pathophysiological condition known as "Brachyolmia". In this work, we demonstrated that R616Q mutation is located in a very critical position of TRPV4 containing a cholesterol-binding motif sequence which is highly conserved in all vertebrates. Accordingly, TRPV4-Wt but not the TRPV4-R616Q localizes preferably in cholesterol-enriched lipid rafts in osteogenic cell line Saos2 and in DRG-neuron derived F11 cell line. Further, FRAP experiment suggest TRPV4-Wt but not the TRPV4-R616Q mutant is more mobile especially in cholesterol-reduced lipid membrane. GST-tagged TM4-Loop-TM5 fragment containing TRPV4-Wt but not R616Q sequence interacts with cholesterol, forms high-molecular weight complex and also show band shift in SDS-PAGE. TRPV4 is expressed in Mesenchymal stem cells and the...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.
