Novel determinant of PKC-epsilon anchoring at cardiac Z-lines.
Authors:Robia SL, Kang M, Walker JW,
Journal:Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol
PubMed ID:15964917
'The Z-line represents a critical link between the transverse tubule network and cytoskeleton of cardiac cells with a role in anchoring structural proteins, ion channels, and signaling molecules. Protein kinase C-epsilon (PKC-epsilon) regulates cardiac excitability, cardioprotection, and growth, possibly as a consequence of translocation to the Z-line/T tubule region. To ... More
Dss1 interaction with Brh2 as a regulatory mechanism for recombinational repair.

PubMed ID:17261595
Brh2, the BRCA2 ortholog in Ustilago maydis, enables recombinational repair of DNA by controlling Rad51 and is in turn regulated by Dss1. Interplay with Rad51 is conducted via the BRC element located in the N-terminal region of the protein and through an unrelated domain, CRE, at the C terminus. Mutation ... More
A conserved inverted repeat, the LipR box, mediates transcriptional activation of the Streptomyces exfoliatus lipase gene by LipR, a member of the STAND class of P-loop nucleoside triphosphatases.
Expression of the Streptomyces exfoliatus lipA gene, which encodes an extracellular lipase, depends on LipR, a transcriptional activator that belongs to the STAND class of P-loop nucleoside triphosphatases. LipR is closely related to activators present in some antibiotic biosynthesis clusters of actinomycetes, forming the LipR/TchG family of regulators. In this ... More
