Assessing the structure of membrane proteins: combining different methods gives the full picture

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Andreas Engel

The rotor stoichiometry of F-ATPases has been revealed by the combined approaches of X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron crystallography, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD showed the rotor from the yeast mitochondrial F-ATPase to contain 10 subunits. AF ...

Analysis of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

The aim of this study was to characterize mammalian glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins y two-dimensional gel electrophoresis using immobilized pH gradients. Analysis was performed on detergent-resistant membrane fractions of baby hamster ...

Mitochondrion is the principal target for nutritional and pharmacological control of triglyceride metabolism

Johan Auwerx

Fish oil polyunsaturated fatty acids and fibrate hypolipidemic drugs are potent hypotriglyceridemic agents that act by increasing fatty acid catabolism and decreasing triglyceride synthesis and secretion by the liver. A major unresolved issue is whether th ...

Role of PPAR in the pharmacological regulation of lipoprotein metabolism by fibrates and thiazolidinediones

Johan Auwerx

The peroxisome proliferator activated receptors or PPARs constitute a subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors. PPARs form heterodimeric complexes with the 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (RXR), which bind to specific res ...

Role of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) in mediating the effects of fibrates and fatty acids on gene expression

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

The three types of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), termed alpha, delta (or beta), and gamma, belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Although peroxisome proliferators, including fibrates and fatty acids, activate the transcriptional ...

Fibrates downregulate apolipoprotein C-III expression independent of induction of peroxisomal acyl coenzyme A oxidase. A potential mechanism for the hypolipidemic action of fibrates.

Johan Auwerx

Epidemiological and transgenic animal studies have implicated apo C-III as a major determinant of plasma triglyceride metabolism. Since fibrates are very efficient in lowering triglycerides, it was investigated whether fibrates regulate apo C-III gene expr ...

Tissue-specific expression of the human gene for lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase in transgenic mice alters blood lipids, lipoproteins and lipases towards a less atherogenic profile

Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is a key enzyme in the reverse cholesterol pathway but its role in lipid metabolism is still unclear. We have generated mice transgenic for a 7-kb genomic DNA fragment comprising the 6 exons and 5 introns of the ...

Glycerol production by yeast fermentation of whey permeate

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison

Yeast strains were examd. for their ability to produce glycerol, and Kluyveromyces marxianus NRRLY-665 was chosen for further optimization due to its comparatively high growth rate (0.15/h) and glycerol yield (9.5% by wt. on lactose) at 37 Deg and pH 7. Op ...

Coupled and uncoupled induction of fos and jun transcription by different second messengers in cells of hematopoietic origin

Johan Auwerx

The nuclear oncoproteins fos and jun are associated as a heterodimer which binds to TPA (PMA or TPA: phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate)- responsive promoter elements (TRE), the recognition site for the transcription factor AP-1. The fos/jun heterodimer has a ...

Involvement of second messengers in regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene

Johan Auwerx

Transcription of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene in the human monocytic leukemic cell line THP-1 and in the human hepatocarcinoma cell line Hep-G2 is regulated by second messengers of the diacylglycerol-protein kinase C (DAG-PKC), inosito ...
