Journal ArticleDOI

Role of PPAR-gamma in inflammation. Prospects for therapeutic intervention by food components.

TL;DR: The high and increasing incidence of inflammatory and allergic disease, coupled with encouraging results from recent clinical trials, suggest that natural PPARγ agonists found in foods may be beneficial to human health by acting as anti-inflammatory molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subcellular localisation of 14-3-3 isoforms in rat brain using specific antibodies.

TL;DR: The finding that the 14‐3‐3 proteins are associated with different populations of synaptic membranes suggests that they are selectively expressed in different classes of neurones and raises the possibility that some or all of them may influence neurotransmission by regulating exocytosis and/or phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and structural analysis of 14-3-3 proteins.

TL;DR: Protease digestion of intact 14-3-3 showed that the N-terminal half of 14- 3-3 was an intact, dimeric domain of the protein, which may imply that the proteins may adopt a different structural conformation, possibly upon binding to the membrane, which could modulate their activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibodies against the major brain isoforms of 14-3-3 protein: an antibody specific for the N-acetylated amino-terminus of a protein.

TL;DR: Specific antibodies against each mammalian brain isoform of 14-3-3 employing peptides synthesised from the amino-terminal regions were raised, like the proteins from mammalian brain, N-acetylated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of inhibition of protein kinase C by 14-3-3 isoforms. 14-3-3 isoforms do not have phospholipase A2 activity.

TL;DR: The ability of individual members of the 14-3-3 protein family to inhibit protein kinase C (PKC) has been studied by using a synthetic peptide based on the specific 80 kDa substrate for PKC in two different assay systems, and no PLA2 activity was found in brain 14- 3-3, nor in any of the recombinant proteins tested.
