Asp218 participates with Asp213 to bind a Ca2+ atom into the S1 subsite of aminopeptidase A: a key element for substrate specificity.

13 Nov 2008 APA (aminopeptidase A; EC 3.4.11.7) is a membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidase, also activated by Ca(2+), involved in the formation of brain angiotensin III, which exerts a tonic stimulatory action on the central control of blood pressure in ... Read more...

A piglet model for detection of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury with magnetic resonance imaging.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Early detection of hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in the asphyxic newborn is important because present prognostic factors are inadequate. Furthermore, therapeutic interventions may have additional benefit if initiated in time. PURPOSE: To ... Read more...

Deconstructing Survivin: comprehensive genetic analysis of Survivin function by conditional knockout in a vertebrate cell line.

18 Oct 2008 Survivin is a key cellular protein thought to function in apoptotic regulation, mitotic progression, or possibly both. In this study, we describe the isolation of two conditional knockouts of the survivin gene in chicken DT40 cells. DT40 cells ... Read more...
