Abstract:

Rho-associated kinases (ROCKs), the immediate downstream targets of RhoA, are ubiquitously expressed serine-threonine protein kinases that are involved in diverse cellular functions, including smooth muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton organization, cell adhesion and motility, and gene expression. Recent studies have shown that ROCKs may play a pivotal role in cardiovascular diseases such as vasospastic angina, ischemic stroke, and heart failure. Indeed, inhibition of ROCKs by statins or other selective inhibitors leads to the upregulation and activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase

Abstract:

Cell-to-cell contact mediated by cell adhesion is fundamental to the compaction process that ensures blastocyst quality during embryonic development. In this study, we first showed that Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinases (ROCK1 and ROCK2) were expressed both in porcine oocytes and IVF preimplantation embryos, playing different roles in oocytes maturation and embryo development. The amount of mRNA encoding ROCK1 and the protein concentration clearly increased between the eight-cell and morula stages, but decreased significantly when blastocysts were formed. Conversely, ROCK2 was more ab

Abstract:

Abstract RhoBTB1 is an atypical Rho GTPase with two BTB domains in addition to its Rho domain. Although most Rho GTPases regulate actin cytoskeletal dynamics, RhoBTB1 is not known to affect cell shape or motility. We report that RhoBTB1 depletion increases prostate cancer cell invasion and induces elongation in Matrigel, a phenotype similar to that induced by depletion of ROCK1 and ROCK2. We demonstrate that RhoBTB1 associates with ROCK1 and ROCK2 and its association with ROCK1 is via its Rho domain. The Rho domain binds to the coiled-coil region of ROCK1 close to its kinase domain.

Abstract:

Rho kinases (ROCK1 and ROCK2) function downstream of the small GTPase RhoA to drive actomyosin cytoskeletal remodeling. It has often been believed that ROCK1 and ROCK2 may be functionally redundant, as they share a highly conserved kinase domain. However, in this study, we report differential functional effects for these ROCKs at the epithelial zonula adherens (ZA). Using specific siRNA, we found that ROCK1 depletion disrupted cadherin organization at the ZA, accompanied by loss of F-actin and NMIIA, whereas ROCK2 knockdown had no significant effect. Further, ROCK1, but not ROCK2, was necessar

Abstract Reservoir is the trapped location of hydrocarbons with diverse physical rock properties or high heterogeneity. The characteristics of rock heterogeneity significantly influence the rock’s ability to flow fluids, especially hydrocarbons contained within the reservoir rock. Several methods have been developed to classify the heterogeneity of reservoir rocks, such as the Amaful, Wibowo and Permadi methods, among others. These methods are developed based on experiments using sandstone rocks, although in some studies, they are also frequently employed in categorizing carbonate reservoir ro

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapies predominantly focus on β-amyloid (Aβ), but Aβ effects may be maximal before clinical symptoms appear. Downstream of Aβ, dendritic spine loss correlates most strongly with cognitive decline in AD. Rho-associated kinases (ROCK1 and ROCK2) regulate the actin cytoskeleton, and ROCK1 and ROCK2 protein abundances are increased in early AD. Here, we found that the increased abundance of ROCK1 in cultured primary rat hippocampal neurons reduced dendritic spine length through a myosin-based pathway, whereas the increased abundance of ROCK2 induced spine loss through t

Abstract:

Abstract The round-tailed horned lizard Phrynosoma modestum is cryptically colored and resembles a small stone when it draws legs close to its body and elevates its back. We investigated effectiveness of camouflage in P. modestum and its dependence on stones by placing a lizard in one of two microhabitats (uniform sand or sand with surface rocks approximately the same size as lizards). An observer who knew which microhabitat contained the lizard was asked to locate the lizard visually. Latency to detection was longer and probability of no detection within 60 s was higher for lizards on rock ba

Abstract:

The subtropical rocky reefs of Cook Island, Julian Rocks and the South West Rocks area form part of a chain of islands and reefs with significant coral cover from the Queensland border (28˚S) to the southern extent of extensive coral communities in coastal Australia (31˚S). Benthic communities at 18 subtidal sites at the three localities were surveyed quantitatively by video-transects, and coral species lists were compiled. Twenty-eight coral species previously unrecorded for these localities were identified, increasing the species richness of hermatypic corals reported for the northern NSW re

Abstract:

Sandy bottoms, with local patches of rocks, dominate the southern Baltic Sea coast. These rock patches create three-dimensional habitats with additional niches that can support diverse assemblages of organisms. In this study we investigated macrofaunal assemblages associated with the boulder field in the brackish Gulf of Gdansk. Of the 30 recorded taxa three animal species (Mytilus trossulus, Balanus improvisus and Electra crustulenta) together with five species of algae were directly attached to rocks. These engineering organisms provided habitats for a further 22 taxa. Among the fauna direct

Abstract:

The Brazilian stoneworking industry has undergone various structural, cultural, and technological changes since the 1990s. The introduction of multi-wire saws has made extracting harder rocks such as quartzites possible, increasing productivity. The arrival of modern cutting and finishing machinery has facilitated the production of slabs and met the demands of an increasingly demanding and selective market. The use of resin treatments for slabs has been a significant advance. This context has elevated Brazil as one of the largest exporters of slabs for the external market while also becoming o

Abstract:

The subfamily Clinocerinae (Empididae, Diptera) are aquatic dance flies, most commonly encountered in fast flowing rocky streams and creeks. The adults often rest on emergent rocks and are rather common in temperate regions.

Abstract:

Late Campanian to Early Paleocene sandstones of the Alberta Foothills were derived from three types of rocks: (i) andesitic–dacitic volcanic rocks that were presumably comagmatic with middle to late Mesozoic plutons in the Omineca Crystalline Belt; (ii) low-grade metamorphic rocks in the suprastructure of the Omineca Crystalline Belt; and (iii) sedimentary rocks in die Rocky Mountain Thrust Belt, principally pelitic rocks in the western Main Ranges and carbonates and chert-arenites in the eastern Main and Front ranges.

Abstract:

In this work, we conducted an experimental evaluation and analysis of the characteristics and makeup of red-colored rocks from four representative Cretaceous and Jurassic sedimentary sequences in the western Sichuan Basin of China, as well as their weathering products. To determine the direction of weathering processes and the cause-and-effect link between the characteristics and composition of the parent rocks and the excess chemical components in the weathered soils, the chemical index of alteration was calculated. The findings demonstrated that, with regard to features like color, density o

Abstract:

The article presents the results of studying the rocks of the pyroclastic facies of the Mriya lamproite pipe, located on the Priazovsky block of the Ukrainian shield. In them the rock's mineral composition includes a complex of exotic mineral particles formed under extreme reduction mantle conditions: silicate spherules, particles of native metals and intermetallic alloys, oxygen-free minerals such as diamond, qusongite (WC), and osbornite (TiN). The aim of the research is to establish the genesis of volcaniclastic rocks and to develop ideas of the highly deoxidized mantle mineral association
