Severe hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with endothelial cell injury that may contribute to an increased incidence of thromboembolic disease. In this study, homocysteine induced programmed death in human umbilical vein cells as measured by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay, DNA ladder formation, induction caspase 3-like activity, and cleavage procaspase 3. Homocysteine-induced was specific homocysteine, not mediated oxidative stress, mimicked inducers the unfolded protein response...

The Snf-2-related CREB-binding protein activator (SRCAP) serves as a coactivator for number of transcription factors known to interact with CBP. Swr1, the closest Saccharomyces cerevisiae ortholog SRCAP, is component chromatin remodeling complex SWR-C, which catalyzes exchange histone variant H2A.Z into nucleosomes. In this report, we use combination conventional chromatography and anti-SRCAP immunoaffinity purify native human SRCAP polypeptide composition similar that show first time...

The mammalian Tip49a and Tip49b proteins belong to an evolutionarily conserved family of AAA+ ATPases. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, orthologs Tip49b, called Rvb1 Rvb2, respectively, are subunits two distinct ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, SWR1 INO80. We recently demonstrated that the integral a complex bearing striking similarities S. cerevisiae (Cai, Y., Jin, J., Florens, L., Swanson, K., Kusch, T., Li, B., Workman, J. Washburn, M.

Large-scale affinity purification and mass spectrometry studies have played important roles in the assembly analysis of comprehensive protein interaction networks for lower eukaryotes. However, development such human proteins has been slowed by high cost significant technical challenges associated with systematic interactions. To address this challenge, we developed a method building local focused networks. This approach couples vector algebra statistical methods normalized spectral counting...

The multiprotein mammalian TRRAP/TIP60-containing histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex performs critical functions in a variety of cellular processes including transcriptional activation, double strand DNA break repair, and apoptosis. We previously isolated the TRRAP/TIP60 from HeLa cells (Cai, Y., Jin, J., Tomomori-Sato, C., Sato, S., Sorokina, I., Parmely, T. Conaway, R. J. W. (2003) Biol. Chem. 278, 42733–42736). Analysis proteins present preparations led to identification several new...

8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine- (8-oxoguanine-) containing nucleotides are generated in the cellular nucleotide pool by action of oxygen radicals produced during normal metabolism. We examined interconversion and metabolic fate 8-oxoguanine-containing ribonucleotides mammalian cells. (1) 8-OxoGTP can be not only direct oxidation GTP but also phosphorylation 8-oxoGDP diphosphate kinase, 8-oxoGTP thus formed serve as a substrate for RNA polymerase II to induce transcription errors. (2) MTH1 protein...

Previous studies reported that patients with preexisting radiological interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) were more susceptible to developing radiation pneumonitis (RP) after thoracic therapy (TRT). The present study aimed evaluate the incidence and predictors of RP TRT in small-cell cancer (SCLC) or without ILAs.A total 95 consecutive SCLC between January 2015 December 2015, who treated intensity-modulated at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital,Tongji University School Medicine, analyzed....
