    Regulatory subunit of protein kinase A: structure of deletion mutant with cAMP binding domains (1995)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1995-08-11
    Description: In the molecular scheme of living organisms, adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP or cAMP) has been a universal second messenger. In eukaryotic cells, the primary receptors for cAMP are the regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The crystal structure of a 1-91 deletion mutant of the type I alpha regulatory subunit was refined to 2.8 A resolution. Each of the two tandem cAMP binding domains provides an extensive network of hydrogen bonds that buries the cyclic phosphate and the ribose between two beta strands that are linked by a short alpha helix. Each adenine base stacks against an aromatic ring that lies outside the beta barrel. This structure provides a molecular basis for understanding how cAMP binds cooperatively to its receptor protein, thus mediating activation of the kinase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Su, Y -- Dostmann, W R -- Herberg, F W -- Durick, K -- Xuong, N H -- Ten Eyck, L -- Taylor, S S -- Varughese, K I -- GM07313/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM34921/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR01644/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Aug 11;269(5225):807-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla 92093-0654, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7638597" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Synaptic efficacy enhanced by glial cells in vitro (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-09-12
    Description: In the developing nervous system, glial cells guide axons to their target areas, but it is unknown whether they help neurons to establish functional synaptic connections. The role of glial cells in synapse formation and function was studied in cultures of purified neurons from the rat central nervous system. In glia-free cultures, retinal ganglion cells formed synapses with normal ultrastructure but displayed little spontaneous synaptic activity and high failure rates in evoked synaptic transmission. In cocultures with neuroglia, the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous postsynaptic currents were potentiated by 70-fold and 5-fold, respectively, and fewer transmission failures occurred. Glial cells increased the action potential-independent quantal release by 12-fold without affecting neuronal survival. Thus, developing neurons in culture form inefficient synapses that require glial signals to become fully functional.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pfrieger, F W -- Barres, B A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Sep 12;277(5332):1684-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University, School of Medicine, Sherman Fairchild Science Building, 299 Campus Drive, Stanford, CA 94305-5125, USA. fpfrieg@mdc-berlin.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9287225" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Prevention of vascular and neural dysfunction in diabetic rats by C-peptide (1997)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1997-07-25
    Description: C-peptide, a cleavage product from the processing of proinsulin to insulin, has been considered to possess little if any biological activity other than its participation in insulin synthesis. Injection of human C-peptide prevented or attenuated vascular and neural (electrophysiological) dysfunction and impaired Na+- and K+-dependent adenosine triphosphate activity in tissues of diabetic rats. Nonpolar amino acids in the midportion of the peptide were required for these biological effects. Synthetic reverse sequence (retro) and all-D-amino acid (enantio) C-peptides were equipotent to native C-peptide, which indicates that the effects of C-peptide on diabetic vascular and neural dysfunction were mediated by nonchiral interactions instead of stereospecific receptors or binding sites.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ido, Y -- Vindigni, A -- Chang, K -- Stramm, L -- Chance, R -- Heath, W F -- DiMarchi, R D -- Di Cera, E -- Williamson, J R -- EY 06600/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- HL 39934/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL 58141/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Jul 25;277(5325):563-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9228006" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Amelioration of vascular dysfunctions in diabetic rats by an oral PKC beta inhibitor (1996)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-05-03
    Description: The vascular complications of diabetes mellitus have been correlated with enhanced activation of protein kinase C (PKC). LY333531, a specific inhibitor of the beta isoform of PKC, was synthesized and was shown to be a competitive reversible inhibitor of PKC beta 1 and beta 2, with a half-maximal inhibitory constant of approximately 5 nM; this value was one-fiftieth of that for other PKC isoenzymes and one-thousandth of that for non-PKC kinases. When administered orally, LY333531 ameliorated the glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate, and retinal circulation in diabetic rats in a dose-responsive manner, in parallel with its inhibition of PKC activities.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ishii, H -- Jirousek, M R -- Koya, D -- Takagi, C -- Xia, P -- Clermont, A -- Bursell, S E -- Kern, T S -- Ballas, L M -- Heath, W F -- Stramm, L E -- Feener, E P -- King, G L -- DK36836/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- EY05110-11/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 May 3;272(5262):728-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Division, Joslin Diabetes Center, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02215, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8614835" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Protein design: a hierarchic approach (1995)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1995-11-10
    Description: The de novo design of peptides and proteins has recently emerged as an approach for investigating protein structure and function. Designed, helical peptides provide model systems for dissecting and quantifying the multiple interactions that stabilize secondary structure formation. De novo design is also useful for exploring the features that specify the stoichiometry and stability of alpha-helical coiled coils and for defining the requirements for folding into structures that resemble native, functional proteins. The design process often occurs in a series of discrete steps. Such steps reflect the hierarchy of forces required for stabilizing tertiary structures, beginning with hydrophobic forces and adding more specific interactions as required to achieve a unique, functional protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bryson, J W -- Betz, S F -- Lu, H S -- Suich, D J -- Zhou, H X -- O'Neil, K T -- DeGrado, W F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Nov 10;270(5238):935-41.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company, Wilmington, DE 19880, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7481798" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
