Regulation of Cardiac Gap Junctional Communication: Metabolic regulation of Cx40 and Cx43 via phosphorylation
DownloadFall 2015
Alterations in myocardial metabolism and cardiac electrophysiology associated with structural heart disease generate lethal arrhythmias. Differential levels of energy (ATP) supply and demand are generated with structural heart disease that is expected to activate 5’-amp activated protein kinase...

Rho-Kinase-Mediated Diphosphorylation of Myosin Regulatory Light Chain is a Unique Biochemical Mechanism in Human Uterine Myocytes
DownloadFall 2011
Rationale: Smooth muscle (SM) contraction results from activation of the cellular contractile machinery by phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) at S19 (pRLC) by RLC kinase (MLCK). Subsequent phosphorylation at T18 yields diphosphorylated-RLC (ppRLC), which has been shown to...

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial oxidative damage have been implicated in the etiology of numerous common diseases. The critical mitochondrial events responsible for oxidative stress–mediated cell death (toxic oxidative stress), however, have yet to be defined. Several oxidative events...

Chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) proteins comprise six members CLIC1–CLIC6 in mammals and mediate functions not fully known. Their founding member was isolated from bovine kidney using the chloride channel inhibitor indanyloxyacetic acid-94, so CLICs were assumed to be typical anion...
