A Cyclodextrin-Stabilized Spermine-Tagged Drug Triplex that Targets Theophylline to the Lungs Selectively in Respiratory Emergency

Only registered users can translate articles

Ion-pairing a lifesaving drug such as theophylline with a targeting moiety could have a significant impact on medical emergencies such as status asthmaticus or COVID-19 induced pneumomediastinum. However, to achieve rapid drug targeting in vivo the ion-pair must be protected against breakdown before

Blocker protection by short spermine analogs: refined mapping of the spermine binding site in a Kir channel.

Only registered users can translate articles

Strongly inwardly rectifying potassium channels are blocked by intracellular polyamines with a uniquely steep voltage dependence. An understanding of the fundamental details underlying the voltage dependence of polyamine block requires a constrained structural description of the polyamine-binding

Paradoxical activation of an inwardly rectifying potassium channel mutant by spermine: "(b)locking" open the bundle crossing gate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracellular polyamines are endogenous blockers of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels and underlie steeply voltage-dependent rectification. Kir channels with strong polyamine sensitivity typically carry a negatively charged side chain at a conserved inner cavity position, although acidic

A novel enzyme with spermine oxidase properties in bovine liver mitochondria: identification and kinetic characterization.

Only registered users can translate articles

The uptake of spermine into mammalian mitochondria indicated the need to identify its catabolic pathway in these organelles. Bovine liver mitochondria were therefore purified and their capacity for natural polyamine uptake was verified. A kinetic approach was then used to determine the presence of

Polyamine metabolism in carcinoma of the oral cavity compared with adjacent and normal oral mucosa.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this study, polyamine biosynthesis required for cellular proliferation showed elevated levels in neoplastic cells. Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, as well as the rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, were measured to evaluate differences in tissue concentration in squamous cell

[Polyamines in tumors of the oral cavity].

Only registered users can translate articles

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are essential for normal growth and differentiation and the activity of the enzymes participating in their synthesis and catabolism are markedly modified in actively proliferating cells in vitro and in vivo. In some neoplastic cells a good

Molecular analysis of the combining site of a monoclonal antibody against spermine.

Only registered users can translate articles

The structural basis of the binding of the polyamine spermine to the monoclonal antibody SPM8-2 was studied using computer modelling, ELISA methods and chemical modifications of the binding site residues. Paratope modelling showed that the antibody combining site forms a highly negatively charged

Locale and chemistry of spermine binding in the archetypal inward rectifier Kir2.1.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamine block of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels underlies their steep voltage dependence observed in vivo. We have examined the potency, voltage dependence, and kinetics of spermine block in dimeric Kir2.1 constructs containing one nonreactive subunit and one cysteine-substituted

Evidence for sequential ion-binding loci along the inner pore of the IRK1 inward-rectifier K+ channel.

Only registered users can translate articles

Steep rectification in IRK1 (Kir2.1) inward-rectifier K(+) channels reflects strong voltage dependence (valence of approximately 5) of channel block by intracellular cationic blockers such as the polyamine spermine. The observed voltage dependence primarily results from displacement, by spermine, of

The role of the cytoplasmic pore in inward rectification of Kir2.1 channels.

Only registered users can translate articles

Steeply voltage-dependent block by intracellular polyamines underlies the strong inward rectification properties of Kir2.1 and other Kir channels. Mutagenesis studies have identified several negatively charged pore-lining residues (D172, E224, and E299, in Kir2.1) in the inner cavity and cytoplasmic

Carcinogenicity in Syrian golden hamsters of N-nitrosamines formed during nitrosation of spermidine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Several N-nitrosamines are formed during the nitrosation of the polyamines, spermidine and spermine. Since these polyamines may represent a source for the endogenous or exogenous formation of N-nitrosamines, their major nitrosation products were assayed for carcinogenicity in male Syrian golden

Active site geometry of a novel aminopropyltransferase for biosynthesis of hyperthermophile-specific branched-chain polyamine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Branched-chain polyamines are found exclusively in thermophilic bacteria and Euryarchaeota and play essential roles in survival at high temperatures. In the present study, kinetic analyses of a branched-chain polyamine synthase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis (Tk-BpsA)

Resembling breast milk: influence of polyamine-supplemented formula on neonatal BALB/cOlaHsd mouse microbiota.

Only registered users can translate articles

Infant microbiota is influenced by numerous factors, such as delivery mode, environment, prematurity and diet (breast milk or formula). In addition to its nutritional value, breast milk contains bioactive substances that drive microbial colonisation and support immune system development, which are

Molecular basis of inward rectification: structural features of the blocker defined by extended polyamine analogs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Polyamines cause inward rectification of Kir K(+) channels by blocking deep within the channel pore. We investigated structural constraints of polyamine block of strongly rectifying mutant K(ATP) channels (Kir6.2[L164C,N160D,C166S] + SUR1). We studied three groups of polyamine analogs: 1)

Actinomyces weissii sp. nov., isolated from dogs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two Gram-positive, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated from the oral cavities of two dogs. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities both strains were shown to belong to the genus Actinomyces and were most closely related to Actinomyces bovis (97.3% and 97.5%,
