Messenger RNAs coding for cytokines and lymphokines are extremely unstable due to an AU-rich cis element located in their 3'-untranslated region. Cell activation with phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate or calcium ionophore has been shown to markedly stabilize these normally labile
The lectins from Datura stramonium, Lycopersicon esculentum, and Solanum tuberosum are structurally related and possess a similar carbohydrate specificity, yet the Datura lectin is mitogenic for human lymphocytes while the other two are not. However, the Datura lectin was found to antagonize blast
The epsilon subspecies of protein kinase C (epsilon PKC) was purified to near homogeneity from the soluble fraction of rat brain by successive chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose, threonine-Sepharose, phenyl-5PW, Mono Q, heparin-5PW, and hydroxyapatite columns. The enzyme from COS-7 cells that were
The actions of bradykinin (BK) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and other cell types involve formation of arachidonic acid (AA) and AA products by as-yet-undefined mechanisms. We found that BK promoted AA release and an increase in phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity in subsequently prepared MDCK-D1
Surfactant protein (SP)-A gene transcription is stimulated by factors that increase cyclic AMP. In the present study, we observed that three thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) binding elements (TBEs) located within a 255 base pair region flanking the 5'-end of the baboon SP-A2 (bSP-A2) gene are
