Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Enhancement of Cardiac Contraction by Modifications of Troponin
DownloadFall 2015
A fine balance between contraction and relaxation is crucial for the heart to function properly. But often the heart cannot contract with enough force to meet the demands of the body. This condition, called systolic heart failure, is the leading cause of death in the modern society. A common...

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Regulation of Protein Phosphatase-1c by the Apoptotic Stimulating Proteins of p53
DownloadFall 2013
Protein phosphatase-1c (PP-1c) is a ubiquitous serine/threonine protein phosphatase regulated in part by association with a large number of different regulatory subunits. Apoptotic Stimulating Proteins of p53 (ASPPs) are a family of proteins that regulate the apoptotic function of the tumour...

In Escherichia coli, the enzyme RelA catalyses the synthesis of (p)ppGpp in response to amino acid starvation. RelA activation requires the codon specific binding of a deacylated tRNA to the ribosomal A-site. By a poorly understood regulatory mechanism, RelA alternates between an inactive...

Molybdenum is a metal present in all forms of life. Most commonly, it forms the molybdenum cofactor (Moco) in the active site of molybdoenzymes. In bacteria, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) reductase is a molybdoenzyme that is part of the anaerobic respiratory chain. E. coli DMSO reductase (DmsABC)...

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It can lead to acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a “heart attack”, in which heart muscle dies due to disruption of its oxygen and blood supply. Even if patients survive a heart attack and receive the best medical therapy...
