Deficient p27 Phosphorylation at Serine 10 Increases Macrophage Foam Cell Formation and Aggravates Atherosclerosis Through a Proliferation-Independen…
2011
OBJECTIVE: Genetic ablation of the growth suppressor p27(Kip1) (p27) in the mouse aggravates atherosclerosis coinciding with enhanced arterial cell proliferation. However, it is unknown whether molecular mechanisms that limit p27's protective function contribute to atherosclerosis development and whether p27 exerts proliferation-independent activities in the arterial wall. This study aims to provide insight into both questions by investigating the role in atherosclerosis of p27 phosphorylation at serine 10 (p27-phospho-Ser10), a major posttranslational modification of this protein. METHODS AND RESULTS: Immunoblotting studies revealed a marked reduction in p27-phospho-Ser10 in atheroscleroti…
Identification and relevance of the CD95-binding domain in the N-terminal region of ezrin.
2003
The CD95 (Fas/APO-1) linkage to the actin cytoskeleton through ezrin is an essential requirement for susceptibility to the CD95-mediated apoptosis in CD4+ T cells. We have previously shown that moesin was not involved in the binding to CD95. Here we further support the specificity of the ezrin/CD95 binding, showing that radixin did not bind CD95. The ezrin region specifically and directly involved in the binding to CD95 was located in the middle lobe of the ezrin FERM domain, between amino acids 149 and 168. In this region, ezrin, radixin, and moesin show 60-65% identity, as compared with the 86% identity in the whole FERM domain. Transfection of two different human cell lines with a green …
Vita e martirio di san Bartolomeo apostolo
2012
Si ripropone al lettore del secolo XXI in traduzione italiana, corredandolo di ampie note di aggiornamento e di discussione, il volumetto miscellaneo (1877) con cui il Moesinger rendeva accessibile agli uomini di cultura la narrazione della predicazione e del martirio di San Bartolomeo apostolo contenuta nel Martirologio armeno. Si trattò di una lettura innovativa condotta con il rigore del filologo, che diede impulso agli studi di agiografia comparativa che si conducevano soprattutto sugli apocrifi Atti degli Apostoli. La collazione dei testi qui rappresentati, provenienti da ambiti storiografici diversi, ci fornisce un’informazione attendibile sui primi tentativi di evangelizzazione di qu…
