Journal ArticleDOI

The role of connexins in controlling cell growth and gene expression.

TL;DR: The role of protein-protein interactions in integrating connexins into multiple signal transduction pathways; phosphorylation at specific sites and reversal of growth inhibition; and the role of the carboxy-terminal regulatory domain as a signaling molecule are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ubiquitinated histone H2B is preferentially located in transcriptionally active chromatin.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the mono- and polyubiquitinated species of histone H2B are preferentially located in transcriptionally active chromatin regions, consistent with the hypothesis that ubiquitinated histones have a role maintaining the structure of transcriptionallyactive chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of serine 262 in the gap junction protein connexin-43 regulates DNA synthesis in cell-cell contact forming cardiomyocytes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Cx43 inhibits cardiomyocyte DNA synthesis irrespectively of cell-cell contact or coupling and gap junction-mediated communication is required in order to reverse C x43 inhibition of DNA synthesis by S262 phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of connexin-43 at serine 262 promotes a cardiac injury-resistant state

TL;DR: P Cx43 marks a state of enhanced resistance to ischaemia injury promoted by PKC-activating treatments such as FGF-2 administration or ischaemic PC, and likely mediates PKCepsilon-dependent cardioprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidized phospholipids in Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

TL;DR: The potential role of Ox-PL in Dox-induced pathology is discussed and the notion that a better understanding of the field could point to new strategies to prevent cardiotoxicity is supported.
