Actin and its ability to polymerize into dynamic filaments is critical for the form and function of cells throughout the body. While multiple proteins have been characterized as affecting actin dynamics through noncovalent ...

Connexins are membrane proteins that form hemichannels and gap junction channels at the plasma membrane. Through these channels connexins participate in autocrine and paracrine intercellular communication. Connexin-based ...

Oxidizing and reducing agents, which are currently involved in cell metabolism and signaling pathways, can regulate fast inhibitory neurotransmission mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the nervous system. ...

Sugars are part of an integrated redox system, since they are key regulators of respiration and photosynthesis, and therefore of the levels of reducing power, ATP and ROS. These elements are major determinants of the ...

A proper balance between chemical reduction and oxidation (known as redox balance) is essential for normal cellular physiology. Deregulation in the production of oxidative species leads to DNA damage, lipid peroxidation ...

Oxidants are produced in physiological and pathological conditions. The production of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNS and ROS, respectively) can lead to vastly different cellular outcomes depending on their ...

TEOSINTE BRANCHED1-CYCLOIDEA-PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR1 (TCP) transcription factors participate in plant developmental processes associated with cell proliferation and growth. Most members of class I, one of the two classes ...
