Ascorbic acid treatment was less effective than either green tea or cat's claw in attenuating hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in AGS cells (P < 0.01).
Studies using knockout mice for each of these isoforms [ 9, 10, 11, 12] suggest that eNOS-derived NO is important in modulating basal pulmonary vascular tone, as well as in attenuating the development of pulmonary hypertension.
Similarly, ligand-dependent targeted proteolysis of several nuclear receptors has been observed [ [ 39 40 41 42 ] ]. In the estrogen receptor, the RARα, and the RXRα, deletion of the α-helix H12 of the ligand binding domain which is essential for ligand-dependent activation stabilises these proteins showing that proteolysis and transactivation are intimately linked [ [ 42 43 44 ] ]. In the case of nuclear receptors, their targeted proteolysis in the presence of ligand may be a mechanism for attenuating the physiological response to the ligand.
Further, a mutant of Siah1a was constructed with the RING finger domain deleted, such that the protein was unable to act in the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway [ 46 ] . This deletion construct was as effective in attenuating group I mGluR function as the wild type Siah1a, providing supporting evidence that the effect of Siah1a resulted from its physical association with the receptors, rather than through a resulting reduction in receptor expression levels.
I'm grateful to Daniel Radosh for filling in with disconcerting skill and to all of you for attenuating the pranks while he was the substitute.
