A role for calcium in stabilizing transport vesicle coats.

Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:11435443
'Calcium has been implicated in regulating vesicle fusion reactions, but its potential role in regulating other aspects of protein transport, such as vesicle assembly, is largely unexplored. We find that treating cells with the membrane-permeable calcium chelator, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N'',N''-tetraacetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl ester) (BAPTA-AM), leads to a dramatic redistribution of the vesicle ...

Stimulation of p53-mediated transcriptional activation by the p53-binding proteins, 53BP1 and 53BP2.

Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:9748285
'p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that controls cell proliferation by regulating the expression of growth control genes. In a previous study, we identified two proteins, 53BP1 and 53BP2, that are able to bind to wild type but not to mutant p53 via the DNA-binding domain of p53. We isolated ... More
Hypoxia induces cyclooxygenase-2 via the NF-kappaB p65 transcription factor in human vascular endothelial cells.

Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:8995303
'The inducible cyclooxygenase, COX-2, has been associated with vascular inflammation and cellular proliferation. We have discovered that hypoxia increases expression of the COX-2 gene in human vascular endothelial cells in culture independent of other stimuli. Western analysis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) revealed a greater than 4-fold induction ... More
Expression of the human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene in the mouse lung after in vivo intratracheal plasmid-mediated gene transfer.

Journal:Nucleic Acids Res
PubMed ID:1377820
'As an approach to gene therapy for the respiratory manifestations of cystic fibrosis (CF), in vivo plasmid-mediated direct transfer of the normal CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene to the airway epithelium was investigated in mice. To evaluate the feasibility of this strategy, pRSVL, a plasmid composed of a firefly ... More
