Nedd4L is a HECT-type E3 ubiquitin ligase (it covalently binds ubiquitin molecules before transferring them to the final substrate). Ubiquitination is a posttranslational modification (PTM) that labels proteins for a variety ...
Although survival rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with surgery and conventional chemotherapy are high, metastatic CRC still shows acute mortality rates. Current chemotherapeutic treatment involves high doses of ...
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process characterized by the accumulation of lipids and fibrous elements in large arteries. It is the main underlying pathological process leading to heart attack and stroke. Low-densit ...
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a fairly new and very promising group of compounds. They are often considered as environmentally benign substitutes for traditional volatile organic solvents due to their attractive properties and ...
SUMO, Small Ubiquitin-related MOdifier, es un modificador post-traduccional de la familia de la Ubiquitina, ya que presentan estructuras y mecanismo de conjugación conservados. La unión de SUMO al sustrato puede modificar ...
Spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a rare hereditary neuromuscular disease caused by the elongation of a polymorphic polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the N-terminal region of the transactivation domain (NTD) of androgen ...
In response to oncogenic stresses cells activate two different tumor suppressor mechanisms: Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), a terminal cell proliferation arrest, or oncogene-induced apoptosis (OIA), which leads to cell ...
Chromatin compaction is regulated by different factors, among them histone posttranslational modifications. There are different histone modifications, and among them, acetylation and methylation of lysine residues. Acetylation ...
A complete understanding of complex formation between proteins and ligands, a crucial matter for pharmacology and, more in general, in biomedicine, requires a detailed knowledge of their static and dynamic atomic interactions. ...
The O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT or MGMT) is a DNA repair protein in charge of removing alkyl adducts from the O6 position of guanines, blocking their cytotoxic effects and playing an important role as a ...
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable situation in clinical settings such as liver transplantation and hepatic resection. It develops when blood flow is interrupted for a long period of time (ischemia) and ...
Sphingolipids (SLs), essential components of cell membranes, are bioactive molecules involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes. Ceramide and sphingosine generally mediate anti-proliferative stimuli, ...
En esta tesis se desarrolla una metodología general para la construcción tándem de manera asimétrica de importantes “building blocks” que se encuentran presentes en la estructuras de muchos productos naturales complejos y ...
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la primera causa de muerte en todo el mundo y representan uno de los desafíos primordiales en la investigación biomédica. La aterosclerosis es causante de la mayoría de las enfermedades ...
En algunos organismos Archaeas, la vía glicolítica presenta modificaciones entre las que destaca las enzimas quinasas que fosforilan glucosa y fructosa 6-fosfato utilizando ADP en vez de ATP como dador de grupo fosforilo. ...
El meduloblastoma es un tumor cerebral maligno localizado en la fosa posterior del cráneo, con una muy alta incidencia en niños. Hasta cuatro distintos subgrupos de meduloblastomas pueden ser definidos en base a su huella ...
One of the ultimate goals in biomedicine is to understand the relationship between structure, function, and dynamics of biomolecules in living cells. The biophysical tools designed to gain more insight into metabolism, ...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the principal cause of mortality worldwide. Lifestyle plays a crucial role in preventing the development of CVD, and one of its key elements is diet, which directly affects cardiometabolic ...
La dislipemia y la hipoxia tienen un impacto directo en el remodelado vascular y cardiaco. La isquemia cardiaca produce una disfunción generalizada del corazón caracterizada por alteraciones en el metabolismo celular y ...
The balance between proteolytic and antiproteolytic activity is crucial in many biological processes such as nutrition, immune defence, virulence and tissue remodelling. Therefore, it is controlled by several mechanisms, ...
