Binding Properties and Stability of the Ras-Association Domain of Rap1-GTP Interacting Adapter Molecule (RIAM)
2012
The Rap1-GTP interacting adapter protein (RIAM) is an important protein in Rap1-mediated integrin activation. By binding to both Rap1 GTPase and talin, RIAM recruits talin to the cell membrane, thus facilitating talin-dependent integrin activation. In this article, we studied the role of the RIAM Ras-association (RA) and pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains in the interaction with Rap1. We found that the RA domain was sufficient for GTP-dependent interaction with Rap1B, and the addition of the PH domain did not change the binding affinity. We also detected GTP-independent interaction of Rap1B with the N-terminus of RIAM. In addition, we found that the PH domain stabilized the RA domain both in …
Standardization of islet isolation outcome- A new automatic system to determine pancreatic islet viability
2011
Pancreatic islet transplantation is emerging as a therapeutic approach for patients affected by diabetes. This approach consists of a minimally invasive procedure replacing insulin-producing cells (pancreatic islets). The technique has been proven successful, but limitations have been identified. One of the major challenges of the procedure is the counting of the isolated pancreatic islets, which is currently jeopardized by subjectivity and inaccuracy. Determination of the accurate islet number is a crucial factor in determining the correlation between the isolation product and clinical outcome. In the proposed study, we have developed software capable of objectively evaluating islet number…

Efecto biológico de la FSH recombinante de codorniz común en la inducción del ciclo ovárico en aves
2018
La reproducción ex situ es una de las medidas reconocidas por la comunidad científica y conservacionista para la conservación de especies amenazadas y su reintroducción en el medio natural. Sin embargo, la reproducción en cautividad de especies de aves amenazadas fracasa con frecuencia debido a la ausencia de estímulos ambientales asociada a la vida en cautividad. Esta circunstancia impide el desarrollo de los ciclos reproductivos fisiológicos en condiciones naturales y, por tanto, la obtención de progenie a partir de individuos valiosos desde el punto de vista de la diversidad genética y ecológica. De modo general y, en resumen, los estímulos ambientales, a través de un conjunto de eventos…
The glucagon-like Peptide-2
2011
Multiple peptide hormones produced within the gastrointestinal system act also in the central nervous system and aid in the regulation of energy homeostasis and metabolism. The list of these peptides is progressively increasing and includes glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) as an anorexigenic factor. GLP-2 is released from enteroendocrine L-cells following food intake and its principal target is represented by the gastrointestinal tract. GLP-2 has been shown to be an important intestinotrophic factor that stimulates epithelial cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. GLP-2 increases intestinal blood flow and the activity and expression of epithelial brush-border digestive enzymes and nutrie…
Associations Between Neonatal Cry Acoustics and Visual Attention During the First Year
2020
It has been suggested that early cry parameters are connected to later cognitive abilities. The present study is the first to investigate whether the acoustic features of infant cry are associated with cognitive development already during the first year, as measured by oculomotor orienting and attention disengagement. Cry sounds for acoustic analyses (fundamental frequency; F0) were recorded in two neonatal cohorts at the age of 0–8 days (Tampere, Finland) or at 6 weeks (Cape Town, South Africa). Eye tracking was used to measure oculomotor orienting to peripheral visual stimuli and attention disengagement from central stimuli at 8 months (Tampere) or at 6 months (Cape Town) of age. Only a m…
Studies on zymogenicity and solubilization of chitin synthase from Candida albicans
1985
The zymogenic form of the chitin synthase present in mixed membrane preparations was extracted by digitonin treatment. The residual extracted membranes exclusively retained the basal activity. Trypsin activation of the zymogenic form of the enzyme did not modify the digitonin solubilization characteristics of the original zymogenic form, suggesting significant differences between ‘in vivo’ activation of chitin synthase and that carried out by trypsin ‘in vitro’.
