ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked gene 2) is a Ca2+-binding protein that belongs to the PEF (penta-EF-hand) protein family. Alix (ALG-2-interacting protein X)/AIP1 (ALG-2-interacting protein 1), one of its binding partners, interacts with TSG101 and CHMP4 (charged multivesicular body protein 4), which are
The apoptosis-linked protein ALG-2 is a Ca(2+)-binding protein that belongs to the penta-EF-hand (PEF) protein family. ALG-2 forms a homodimer, a heterodimer with another PEF protein, peflin, and a complex with its interacting protein, named Alix or AIP1. We previously identified annexin XI as a
Adhesion of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals to kidney cells may be a key event in the pathogenesis of kidney stones associated with marked hyperoxaluria. Previously, we found that 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (PGG), isolated from a traditional medicinal herb, reduced CaOx crystal adhesion
The beneficial effects of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) in potentiating the mobilization of cadmium by cadmium trisodium diethylenetriamine penta acetic acid (DTPA) from the major target organs and restoration of depleted tissue glutathione (GSH), zinc and copper concentration, were determined in
Many nonenzymatic cellular proteins exert their functions by interacting with other proteins or -macromolecules. Analysis of the physical interactions of proteins is an important step to understand their functions, and the information obtained is helpful for predicting the roles of the proteins in
5-(4-Nitrophenyl)penta-2,4-dienal (NPPD) stimulated NADPH-supported oxygen consumption by rat liver microsomes in a concentration-dependent manner. The NPPD stimulation of O2 uptake was not inhibited by metyrapone and was decreased in the presence of NADP+ and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. These
A combination of experimental and simulation approaches were used to analyze the clonal growth of preneoplastic, enzyme-altered foci during liver carcinogenesis in an initiation-promotion regimen. Male Fisher 344 rats, 8 weeks of age, were initiated with a single dose (200 mg/kg, i.p.) of
Present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effect of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucopyranose (PGG) against transient global ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced brain injury in rats. Sixty minutes of global ischemia, followed by 24h of reperfusion caused significant alterations in
A natural alkynol group-substituted thiophene, 2-(penta-1,3-diynyl)-5-(3,4-dihydroxybut-1-ynyl)-thiophene (PDDYT), was isolated from the roots of Echinops grijsii Hance. It possessed potent NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1) inducing activity and could activate Keap1-Nrf2 pathway effectively in
Until recently, pentabromodiphenyl (PentaBDE) and decabromodiphenyl (DecaBDE) ethers were commonly used as flame retardants in a wide array of products, mostly in the production of plastics utilized in the electric, electronic and textile industries. The aim of this study was to compare the toxicity
To expand application of hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge) fruit, the antioxidant and anti-lipidemic effects of haw pectin penta-oligogalacturonide (HPPS) prepared from hawthorn fruit were investigated in vitro and in mice. HPPS exhibited concentration-dependent scavenging activities against
Gardenia, the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, has been widely used to treat liver and gall bladder disorders in Chinese medicine. It has been shown recently that geniposide, the main ingredient of Gardenia Fructus, exhibits the anti-tumor effect. In this review, we discuss the anti-tumor effect
