1. Trypanosoma cruzi down-regulates mechanosensitive proteins in cardiomyocytes
BACKGROUND Cardiac physiology depends on coupling and electrical and mechanical coordination through the intercalated disc. Focal adhesions offer mechanical support and signal transduction events during heart contraction-relaxation processes. Talin links integrins to the actin cytoskeleton and serves as a scaffold for the recruitment of other proteins, suc

2. Protein-protein interactions of the nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide adenylyltransferase of Leishmania braziliensis
BACKGROUND Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays a central role in energy metabolism and integrates cellular metabolism with signalling and gene expression. NAD biosynthesis depends on the enzyme nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT; EC: 2.7.7.1/18), in which converge the de novo and salvage pathways. OBJECTIVE The pu

3. Identification of the nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase of Trypanosoma cruzi
The intracellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is the aetiological agent of Chagas disease, a public health concern with an increasing incidence rate. This increase is due, among other reasons, to the parasite’s drug resistance mechanisms, which require nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Furthermore, this molecule is involved in metabolic and intracel

4. Host genetic factors in American cutaneous leishmaniasis: a critical appraisal of studies conducted in an endemic area of Brazil
American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a vector-transmitted infectious disease with an estimated 1.5 million new cases per year. In Brazil, ACL represents a significant public health problem, with approximately 30,000 new reported cases annually, representing an incidence of 18.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Corte de Pedra is in a region endemic for ACL

5. Ethylene response factors gene regulation and expression profiles under different stresses in rice
Stresses can cause large yield reductions in cultivated plants. The response to these stresses occurs via a plethora of signalling pathways, where a large number of genes is induced or repressed. Among the environmental stress responsive genes, there are the members of the ethylene response factors (ERF) gene family. The mRNA levels of different ERF are regu

6. Study of Vaccinia and Cowpox viruses' replication in Rac1-N17 dominant-negative cells
Interfering with cellular signal transduction pathways is a common strategy used by many viruses to create a propitious intracellular environment for an efficient replication. Our group has been studying cellular signalling pathways activated by the orthopoxviruses Vaccinia (VACV) and Cowpox (CPXV) and their significance to viral replication. In the present

7. Análise de genes diferencialmente expressos nas vias de sinalização (Hedgehog e Wnt) em carcinomas basocelulares humanos
Hedgehog (HH) and Wingless-Int (Wnt) signaling pathway are related to the process of cellular proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, matrix remodeling and homeostasis of stem cells. Over the years, several mutations in HH signaling pathway have been identified, including the loss of function mutations in ptch1 and the gain of function mutations in smo

8. A transient increase in total head phosphotyrosine levels is observed upon the emergence of Aedes aegypti from the pupal stage
Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of protein tyrosine residues constitutes a major biochemical regulatory mechanism for the cell. We report a transient increase in the total tyrosine phosphorylation of the Aedes aegypti head during the first days after emergence from the pupal stage. This correlates with an initial reduction in total head protein tyrosin

9. Análises moleculares das vias de sinalização de morte celular originadas no retículo endoplasmático / Molecular analyses of cell death pathways signalling originated in the endoplasmic reticulum
Abiotic and biotic stresses are responsible for major losses in agricultural productivity world wise. Therefore, the understanding of mechanisms of plant stress response and adaptation to such conditions should provide the foundation for engineering plant stress tolerance and hence maximizing the yield of crops growing under adverse environmental conditions.

10. Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) effects over pancreatic islets function and survival / Efeitos do Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) sobre a função e sobrevivencia de ilhotas pancreaticas
Introduction: CNTF belongs to the IL-6 cytokine family and as such, it signals through gp130 receptor complex, activating many pathways depending on the cell-type, mainly STAT3, MAPK and PI3K. Its effects include increased neuron differentiation and/or survival, and are differentially expressed throughout the animal life. Meanwhile, pancreatic islets are ric

11. Envolvimento dos quatro genes bZIPs do Grupo C de Arabidopsis thaliana na sinalização por glicose, manose e ABA / Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis Group C bZIPs homologous to the maize Opaque-2 regulator
In the model eudicot organism A. thaliana (Arabidopsis), four genes encoding bZIP transcription regulatory factors that are homologous to the maize Opaque-2 (O2) locus were identified. O2 is a key regulator of the carbon to nitrogen balance and of the prolamine type storage proteins synthesis during seed development. The Arabidopsis genes, AtbZIP9, the two p

12. Role of nitric oxide and the cyclic guanosine monophosphate dependent patway on the adhesive properties leucocytes of sickle cell disease patients / Ação do oxido nitrico e da via dependente de guanosina monofosfato ciclico nas propriedades adesivas de leucocitos de pacientes com anemia falciforme
Increased leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium contributes to vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease (SCD). Since nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability is decreased in SCD and NO may inhibit leukocyte adhesion, we determined whether stimulation of NO-signalling pathways can decrease the adhesive properties of neutrophils from SCD individuals (SCDneu). SCDne
