Abstract:: Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

Abstract:: Natural products from both terrestrial and marine sources represent a significant source of novel drug leads, and have previously been developed into clinically-approved agents for the treatment of various human diseases. This work represents the biological characterization of the mechanistic basis for activity of several natural product structures in models...

Abstract:: EF-hand proteins are a conserved family of proteins that are modulated by divalent cations and regulate diverse cellular activities. In the present study we characterized the molecular determinants of myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) interaction with several subunits of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor. Myosin RLC is an EF-hand protein...

Abstract:: Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, arising from malignant transformation of pigment-producing melanocytes. The primary risk factor for melanoma and other skin cancers is DNA damage resulting from unprotected solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR). If incorrectly repaired, this damage can result in incorporation of mutations that cause aberrant cell...

Abstract:: Mammalian skin is the largest organ of the body and serves as a barrier to protect the body against chemical, mechanical and pathogenic insults as well as water loss. The epidermis is formed from the primitive ectoderm into a multilayered stratified epithelium, consisting of basal, spinous, granular and outermost cornified...
