31 Oct 2013TL;DR: In this article, a non-human animal IKKβ which shows fibrosis of tissue, since it lacks IKK β gene in a myofibroblast-and/or smooth muscle cell-specific manner.
Abstract: The present invention provides a non-human animal IKKβ which shows fibrosis of tissue, since it lacks IKKβ gene in a myofibroblast- and/or smooth muscle cell-specific manner. Since the non-human animal shows pathology highly similar to scleroderma, it is extremely useful as an animal model of scleroderma.

09 Sep 1996TL;DR: An isolated nitrogen activated c-Fos regulating kinase polypeptide (FRK) having a molecular weight of about 88-kD as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE, having threonine and serine kinase activity, phosphorylating the cFos activation domain at amino acid residue Thr 232 and having polynucleotide sequences and a method of detection for FRK are provided in this article.
Abstract: An isolated nitrogen activated c-Fos regulating kinase polypeptide (FRK) having a molecular weight of about 88-kD as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE, having threonine and serine kinase activity, phosphorylating the c-Fos activation domain at amino acid residue Thr 232 and having polynucleotide sequences and a method of detection for FRK are provided herein. Also described are methods for identifying compositions which affect FRK activity, thereby affecting c-Fos activation and subsequent activation of genes associated with AP-1 sites.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors showed that the stress-responsive transcription factor ATF4 blunts liver damage and cancer development by suppressing iron-dependent cell death (ferroptosis), which is known to promote compensatory proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of ROS generation and removal in plants during development and under biotic and abiotic stress conditions are described and the possible functions and mechanisms for ROS sensing and signaling in plants are compared with those in animals and yeast.
Abstract: Several reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced in plants as byproducts of aerobic metabolism. Depending on the nature of the ROS species, some are highly toxic and rapidly detoxified by various cellular enzymatic and nonenzymatic mechanisms. Whereas plants are surfeited with mechanisms to combat increased ROS levels during abiotic stress conditions, in other circumstances plants appear to purposefully generate ROS as signaling molecules to control various processes including pathogen defense, programmed cell death, and stomatal behavior. This review describes the mechanisms of ROS generation and removal in plants during development and under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. New insights into the complexity and roles that ROS play in plants have come from genetic analyses of ROS detoxifying and signaling mutants. Considering recent ROS-induced genome-wide expression analyses, the possible functions and mechanisms for ROS sensing and signaling in plants are compared with those in animals and yeast.
