Abstract:: Prostaglandin F₂α (PGF₂α), a stimulatory hormone of luteal oxytocin secretion, is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC); however, the intracellular signals that promote exocytosis of oxytocin remain to be elucidated. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a protein specifically phosphorylated by PKC, crosslinks actin filaments associated with the inner...

Abstract:: Phagotrophic protists are major consumers of microbial biomass in aquatic ecosystems. However, biochemical mechanisms underlying prey recognition and phagocytosis by protists are not well understood. We investigated the potential roles of cell signaling mechanisms in chemosensory response to prey, and in capture of prey cells, by a marine ciliate (Uronema...

Abstract:: Vitamin C is an essential component of the human diet. Uptake of vitamin C in the cell is regulated by the function of sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters (SVCTs). SVCT1 (encoded by the SLC23A1 gene) is expressed in the colon, liver and kidney, where it plays a vital role in determining...
