Identification of Protein-Protein Interactors of the Corneal Dystrophy-Causing Protein, SLC4A11
DownloadSpring 2022
Endothelial corneal dystrophies are eye diseases characterized by dysfunction of the innermost layer of the cornea, resulting in disruption of the regulation and homeostasis of corneal deturgescence and, ultimately, impaired visual acuity. Gene mutations are responsible for many corneal...

Identification of Signaling Pathways Dysregulated during Scrapie Pathogenesis using a Kinomics Approach
DownloadSpring 2017
Prion diseases are a family of chronic lethal neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and animals. The conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) to abnormal conformations (PrPSc) is accepted to be required for pathogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms whereby PrP conversion...

Caspases are a family of enzymes that regulate biological processes, such as inflammation and programmed cell death, through proteolysis. For example, in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, cell death signaling involves cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, which leads to the activation of...

Insights into Membrane Type-1 Matrix Metalloproteinase cleavage of the Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor
DownloadSpring 2021
The Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediated cellular uptake of LDL is the main pathway for plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) clearance. However, the LDLR can be proteolytically cleaved to release its soluble ectodomain (sLDLR) into the extracellular milieu and as such reducing its LDL-C...

In response to genomic stress resulting from external and endogenous insults, the cell has acquired a set of complicated pathways that deal with the damage, which are collectively referred to as the DNA damage response (DDR). In order to repair double strand DNA breaks that may have occurred in...
