TLDR
The structure of the sterol 26-hydroxylase cDNA reveals it to be a mitochondrial cytochrome P-450, and blotting experiments revealed that the mRNA for this enzyme is expressed in many tissues and that it is encoded by a low copy number gene in the rabbit genome.

Cloning of a novel receptor expressed in rat prostate and ovary.

TL;DR: It is concluded that clone 29 cDNA encodes a novel rat ER, which is suggested be named rat ERbeta to distinguish it from the previously cloned ER (ERalpha) from rat uterus.

JNK1: A protein kinase stimulated by UV light and Ha-Ras that binds and phosphorylates the c-Jun activation domain

TL;DR: JNK1 is a component of a novel signal transduction pathway that is activated by oncoproteins and UV irradiation and its properties indicate that JNK1 activation may play an important role in tumor promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of activation of protein kinase B by insulin and IGF-1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the activation of PKBalpha was accompanied by its phosphorylation at Thr308 and Ser473 and, like activation, likeactivation was prevented by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pro-inflammatory Cytokines and Environmental Stress Cause p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Activation by Dual Phosphorylation on Tyrosine and Threonine (∗)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p38, like JNK, is activated by treatment of cells with pro-inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress and the mechanism of p38 activation is mediated by dual phosphorylation on Thr-180 and Tyr-182.
Journal ArticleDOI

cPLA2 is phosphorylated and activated by MAP kinase.

TL;DR: Treatment of cells with agents that stimulate the release of arachidonic acid causes increased serine phosphorylation and activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2).

Demonstration of 26-hydroxylation of C27-steroids in human skin fibroblasts, and a deficiency of this activity in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

TL;DR: The present results add strong evidence to the concept that the primary metabolic defect in CTX is a deficiency of C27-steroid 26-hydroxylase, as demonstrated in cultured skin fibroblasts from healthy individuals.

Cholic Acid Biosynthesis: THE ENZYMATIC DEFECT IN CEREBROTENDINOUS XANTHOMATOSIS

TL;DR: The results of the in vivo as well as the in vitro experiments suggest that the site of the enzymatic defect in CTX is at the 24S-hydroxylation of 5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha, 12alpha,25-tetrol.

Simultaneous transfection of COS-1 cells with mitochondrial and microsomal steroid hydroxylases: incorporation of a steroidogenic pathway into nonsteroidogenic cells

TL;DR: The cellular mechanisms necessary to support both microsomal and mitochondrial steroid hydroxylase activities appear not to be tissue specific, whereas the acute cAMP-dependent regulation of steroidogenesis is not present in transformed kidney (COS-1) cells.

Expression of a functional 78,000 dalton mammalian flavoprotein, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase, in Escherichia coli☆

TL;DR: A cDNA containing the complete coding nucleotide sequence for rat liver NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase was constructed from two overlapping cDNA clones, and rates of benzo[a]pyrene metabolism approaching rates observed with liver reductase were obtained, indicating that the undegraded component in the affinity-purified preparation was able to interact with cytochromeP-450 and catalyze electron transfer from NADPH.

Hepatic mitochondrial cytochrome P-450: isolation and functional characterization.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the rat liver inner mitochondrial membrane houses a species of cytochrome P-450 functional in 5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-triol 26-hydroxylation.
