Protein kinase C-ζ (PKC-ζ) is a serine/threonine downstream from phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in insulin signaling pathways. However, specific substrates for PKC-ζ that participate the biological actions of have not been reported. In present study, we identified receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) as novel substrate PKC-ζ. Under vitro conditions, wild-type (but kinase-deficient mutant PKC-ζ) significantly phosphorylated IRS-1. This phosphorylation was reversed by treatment with serine-specific...
Inelastic neutron scattering, far-infrared spectroscopy, and cryogenic nuclear magnetic resonance are used to investigate the quantized rotation ortho–para conversion of single water molecules trapped inside closed fullerene cages. The existence metastable ortho -water is demonstrated, interconversion -and para spin isomers tracked in real time. Our investigation reveals that ground state encapsulated has a lifted degeneracy, associated with symmetry-breaking environment.
Among glycoprotein hormone receptors the TSH receptor (TSHR) in most susceptible to constitutive by mutations various regions of molecule, including extracellular domain (ECD) and loops transmembrane (TMD) understand role hte ECD TSHR activation we have tested several constructs with major deletions ECD. Previous studies reported very low expression such truncated receptors, which prevented reliable assessment their ligand-binding basal activities. We eliminated this problem using at its...
We have measured the temperature dependence of infrared spectra a hydrogen molecule trapped inside C60 cage, H2@C60, in range from 6 to 300 K and analyzed excitation spectrum by using five-dimensional model vibrating rotor spherical potential.

The interconversion of the two allotropes hydrogen molecule (para-H2 and ortho-H2) incarcerated inside fullerene C60 is reported (oH2@C60 pH2@C60, respectively). For conversion, oH2@C60 was adsorbed at external surface zeolite NaY immersed into liquid oxygen 77 K. Equilibrium reached in less than 0.5 h. Rapid removal provides a sample enriched pH2@C60 that stable for many days absence paramagnetic catalysts (half-life approximately 15 days). Enriched nonvolatile soluble organic solvents. At...
Ni takes a load off: Nickel(0) and strained alkene react to form stable tris(alkene) complex, which eliminates the corresponding trans,trans,trans-cyclobutane upon heating. A higher proportion of Ni0 precursor yielded first all-alkyl complex nickel(IV) (see structure; Ni: green). These reactions, involve ligand coupling, are driven by relief ring strain in alkene. Detailed facts importance specialist readers published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not...
We report an inelastic neutron-scattering (INS) investigation of coupled quantum translation and rotation hydrogen molecules trapped inside the closed isotropic cages ${\text{C}}_{60}$.

The interconversion of ortho-hydrogen (oH2) and para-hydrogen (pH2), the two nuclear spin isomers dihydrogen, requires a paramagnetic catalyst such as nitroxide. We report design demonstration catalysis oH2 pH2 incarcerated in an endofullerene based on reversible nitroxide/hydroxylamine system. system is example magnetic switch that can increase rate H2 by factor ∼104.
The oxygen-enhanced photoconductivity observed in crystalline rubrene is investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and steady-state time dependent (PC) measurements. EPR data indicate the presence of radical cation oxygen anion pairs formed within structure when irradiated oxygen. Radical lifetimes determined correlate well with transient PC provide strong evidence that charge carrier responsible for enhanced conduction. This process reversible, although...
Design and evaluation of user-generated media production sharing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) often focus on formal informal sharing, such as communication within social networks, automatic notifications activities, the exchange digital artifacts. However, conceptual tools for understanding how people relate to audiences they reach through these systems are limited. The increasing interest content HCI demands infusion new methods theories that explicitly engage construction use among...
N-linked glycosylation represents a structurally diverse, complex, co- and posttranslational protein modification that bridges metabolism cellular signaling. Consequently, aberrant is hallmark of most pathological scenarios. Due to their complex nature non-template-driven synthesis, the analysis glycans faced with several challenges, underlining need for new improved analytical technologies. Spatial profiling N-glycans through direct imaging on tissue sections reveals regio-specific and/or...
