Journal ArticleDOI

The Platelet Collagen Receptor Glycoprotein VI Is a Member of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily Closely Related to FcαR and the Natural Killer Receptors

TL;DR: The ability of the cloned GPVI cDNA to code for a functional platelet collagen receptor was demonstrated in the megakaryocytic cell line Dami, and it inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bcl-2 Undergoes Phosphorylation by c-Jun N-terminal Kinase/Stress-activated Protein Kinases in the Presence of the Constitutively Active GTP-binding Protein Rac1

TL;DR: This is the first report of Bcl-2 phosphorylation by the JNK/SAPK class of MAP kinases and could indicate a key modification allowing control of B cl-2 function by cell surface receptors, Rho family GTPases, and/or cellular stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of bid by casein kinases I and II regulates its cleavage by caspase 8.

TL;DR: Data indicate that phosphorylation of Bid represents a new mechanism whereby cells control apoptosis, and a mutant of Bid that cannot be phosphorylated was found to be more toxic than wild-type Bid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asp-49 is not an absolute prerequisite for the enzymic activity of low-M(r) phospholipases A2: purification, characterization and computer modelling of an enzymically active Ser-49 phospholipase A2, ecarpholin S, from the venom of Echis carinatus sochureki (saw-scaled viper).

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that Asp-49 is not an absolute prerequisite for the enzymic activity of PLA2s, and that proteins with amino acid(s) other than Asp at position 49 can exhibit significant phospholipase activity.
