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.

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).

Primary structure of glycolate oxidase from spinach.

TL;DR: The primary structure of glycolate oxidase from spinach has been determined and the peptide analysis shows that the N-terminus is blocked by acylation of the initiator methionine, which is in a primary structure typical for non-removal of the methamphetamine in the processing events of the nascent protein chain.

Characterization of the liver mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 catalyzing the 26-hydroxylation of 5β-cholestane-3α, 7α, 12α-triol

TL;DR: The results indicate that there are different species of cytochrome P-450 in rabbit liver mitochondria catalyzing 26-hydroxylation of 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α-triol and 25-hydrogenation of vitamin D 3.

Conversion of 5β-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,26-tetrol into 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholestanoic acid by rabbit liver mitochondria

TL;DR: Rabbit liver mitochondria in the presence of NAD+ were found to catalyze the conversion of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 26-tetrol into 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta- cholestanoic acid.
