TL;DR: The nature and exact extent of the sequence variations and the extent to which the conserved features of the globin sequences are unique to this family are determined.
490 citations
TL;DR: It is shown by biochemical analysis that Sprouty is an intracellular protein, associated with the inner surface of the plasma membrane, and is a widespread inhibitor of Ras pathway signal transduction.

TL;DR: Without affecting the related PPP1R15B-phosphatase complex and constitutive protein synthesis, guanabenz prolonged eIF2α phosphorylation in human stressed cells, adjusting the protein production rates to levels manageable by available chaperones, and rescued cells from protein misfolding stress.
Abstract: Many biological processes are regulated through the selective dephosphorylation of proteins. Protein serine-threonine phosphatases are assembled from catalytic subunits bound to diverse regulatory subunits that provide substrate specificity and subcellular localization. We describe a small molecule, guanabenz, that bound to a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1, PPP1R15A/GADD34, selectively disrupting the stress-induced dephosphorylation of the α subunit of translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α). Without affecting the related PPP1R15B-phosphatase complex and constitutive protein synthesis, guanabenz prolonged eIF2α phosphorylation in human stressed cells, adjusting the protein production rates to levels manageable by available chaperones. This favored protein folding and thereby rescued cells from protein misfolding stress. Thus, regulatory subunits of phosphatases are drug targets, a property used here to restore proteostasis in stressed cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an oligonucleotide microarray to monitor rice (Oryza sativa) microRNA expression profile under drought stress and identified two drought-induced microRNAs.

TL;DR: Optimal operating conditions have been sought in relation to zone lengths, filter levels and ill-defined features of the electron density map and consistency of the results suggests that optimal co-ordinates for wellresolved features are located to about 0.1 A.
