Transcriptional profiling defines the effects of nickel in human epidermal keratinocytes.

29 Nov 2008 Nickel is a ubiquitous and virtually unavoidable environmental pollutant and occupational hazard, but its molecular and cellular effects are not well understood. Human epidermal keratinocytes are the sentinel and the primary target for nickel. We ... Read more...


The angiopoietin-2 gene of endothelial cells is up-regulated in hypoxia by a HIF binding site located in its first intron and by the central factors GATA-2 and Ets-1.

29 Nov 2008 Angiopoietins are ligands of the endothelial cell tyrosine kinase receptor Tie2. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is widely expressed in human normal adult tissues and promotes blood vessel maturation and stabilization by inducing Tie2 receptor ... Read more...


Crystal structures of the starch-binding domain from Rhizopus oryzae glucoamylase reveal a polysaccharide-binding path.

13 Nov 2008 GA (glucoamylase) hydrolyses starch and polysaccharides to beta-D-glucose. RoGA (Rhizopus oryzae GA) consists of two functional domains, an N-terminal SBD (starch-binding domain) and a C-terminal catalytic domain, which are connected by an ... Read more...
