Abstract:
Rab GTPases are major regulatory proteins of vesicle traffic and thus responsible for membrane identity, vesicle targeting and vesicle fusion. The angiosperm Rab GTPase family is grouped into eight clades (Rab-A to Rab-H) that are broadly conserved in animals and yeasts. It has been proposed that the Rab-A clade has diversified in land plants giving rise to six plant- specific structural subclasses, Rab-A1 to Rab-A6. Previous work suggests that the Arabidopsis Rab-A2 and Rab-A3 proteins define a novel endosomal compartment that lies on a pathway between the Golgi and the plasma membrane. In di

Myocardial fibrosis contributes to the pathogenesis of diverse forms of cardiac hypertrophy. Recent evidence suggests a crucial role for purinergic signalling in the formation of tissue fibrosis.

The specific hypothesis of this investigation was that myocardial stress results in increased interstitial levels of adenosine, which activate cardiac fibroblasts via adenosine A2AR.

Recently, several studies have demonstrated that G protein coupled receptors exist as homo/heterodimers or oligomers. Adenosine A2A receptors and dopamine D2 receptors are present as both homo- and heterodimer. In the GABAergic striatopallidal neurons A2AR are co- localized with D2 receptors (D2R), and establish functional A2AR-D2R heteromers, which modulates dopaminergic activity. Due to be involved in physiological processes, these receptors bear critical roles. Dopamine receptors play critical role in dopaminergic pathways in regulation of memory, food intake and psychomotor activity, etc.

Gene of A2A-R contains two independent promoters (P1 and P2). Transcripts produced from these two promoters differ in the length of their 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTR), but encode the same protein. To further characterize the transcriptional regulation of the A2A-R gene in vivo, a fusion gene consisting the 4.8 kb 5'-flanking region / full length 5'UTR of the A2A-R gene and the coding region of the N-lacZ (n-β

Abstract:
acase@tulane.edu<br>G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of receptor proteins in the living world, having approximately 800 human genes predicted. GPCRs are therapeutically relevant, as approximately 35% of all drugs on the market target them. However, these drugs can be associated with unwanted side effects, due to ubiquitous GPCR expression throughout the body, as well as GPCRs within the same family having common ligands, but varying or contradictory responses. Although there are approximately 800 human GPCRs predicted, the high-resolution crystal structure of on

碩士<br>國立陽明大學<br>神經科學研究所<br>91<br>Abstract The A2A Adenosine receptor (A2A-R) is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) with molecular weight of 45kDa. Stimulation of A2A-R can activate adenylyl cyclase via Gs, and subsequently leads to an elevation of the cellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) content. Among the members of adenosine receptor family, A2A-R carries the longest C-terminus with functions largely uncharacterized. Using the yeast-two hybrid system, our laboratory previously found that A2A-R directly interacted with a novel protein, Translin-associated factor X (TraX) by its C-terminus

By focusing on the various aspects of attention cues, we establish the tech-nique of attention propagation to uncover latent but useful information to solving the underlying QA task. In addition, the proposed A2A reasoning seamlessly leads to effective fusion of different representation modalities about the data, and also can be conveniently constructed with popular neural network architectures.

Actualmente crê-se que este metabolito tem não só um papel como neuromodulador, mas também como regulador homeostático. O conceito de neuromodulador está relacionado com a capacidade de uma substância endógena, libertada na fenda sináptica, influenciar a libertação (modulação pré-sináptica) ou a acção (modulação pós-sináptica) do neurotransmissor.
