Cald1 Unit 1 Research Paper

209 Words1 Page

Caldesmon 1 is a gene that is located on Chromosome 7: 134.74 – 134.97 Mb which encodes a calmodulin binding protein. (15) The products of CALD1 such as Calmodulin- and actin-binding proteins play an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. (16) CALD1 inhibits ATPase activity of myosin in smooth muscle like calponin. Caldesmon (CaD) is an actin-linked regulatory protein found in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells. It binds and stabilizes actin filaments, as well as regulating actin-myosin interaction in a calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM)- and/or phosphorylation-dependent manner.(17) The domain of this protein includes binding activities to Ca++-calmodulin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, and phospholipids.

    In \cite{Romauera92}, Romaguera pointed out that if $X=\mathbb{R}^+$ and $p : X \times X\to \mathbb{R}^+$ defined by $p(x, y) = \max\{x, y\}$ for all $x, y \in X$ then ${CB}^p(X)=\emptyset$ and the approach used in Theorem \ref{THM201} and elsewhere has a disadvantage that the fixed point theorems for self-mappings may not be derived from it, when ${CB}^p(X)=\emptyset$. To overcome from this problem he introduced the concept of mixed multi-valued mappings and obtained a different version of Nadler's theorem in a partial metric spaces. \begin{definition} Let $(X, p)$ be a partial metric space. A mapping $T : X \to X \cup {CB}^p(X)$ is called a mixed multi-valued mapping on $X$ if $T$ is a multi-valued mapping on $X$ such that for each $x\in X$

    These beta receptors are responsible for increasing contractility and increasing pulse. By blocking these receptors with a beta blocker the medication decreases the force of contractions in the ventricles as well as decreases heart rate. The decrease in contractility and heart rate lead to lower cardiac output

    This gene is in charge of making special proteins that control the movement of skeletal muscle. SCN4A is used to create channels that allow sodium ions to flow into the different cells. (Genetics) HYPP occurs when the channels become weakened which makes the muscles more susceptible to involuntary contraction. This leads to potassium

    Background: Explain on the cellular level how dropping warm Ringers solution on the frog’s heart would affect the cells of the SA node. Dropping warm Ringers solution on the frog’s heart would increase the heart rate because the calcium channels open faster. Explain on the cellular level how dropping warm Ringers solution on the frog’s heart would affect the cells of the contractile muscle of the ventricles. Dropping warm Ringers solution on the frog’s heart would increase the heart rate because the actin binds to the myosin more quickly due to the calcium channels opening faster leading to faster contraction of the heart.

    MSCs are stretch activated channels that respond to mechanical stress on the cell membrane by allowing certain ions to enter the cell (Sachs, 2010). When a sperm swims against the flow, it experiences an increase in liquid pressure at its most upstream tip where the liquid is brought to a halt. This pressure rise increases with the flow velocity. In addition, the fluid drag / shear stress on sperm head also increases with flow velocity (El-Sherry et. al, 2014; Kantsler et.

    The exact mechanism of action of ADH remained obscure until 1990, when Peter Agre discovered a class of protein channels, now called aquaporins, which selectively allow water molecules to cross the cell membrane. ADH activates a G-protein coupled receptor on these epithelial cells, triggering an influx of calcium ions, the activation of Protein Kinase C, and the translocation of aquaporins to the cell surface leading to enhanced water reuptake. Oxytocin has two main functions. First, it triggers uterine contractions when a pregnant woman goes into labor.

    Already the name (derived from the Latin word ‘claudere’ meaning ‘close’) explains the function of these molecules: they join endothelial cells together and restrict movement of ions and proteins in-between cells of different tissues. Claudins are 20-34 Kilodalton (kDa) integral membrane proteins of the tight junctions regulating its function (Goncalves et al., 2013). They consist of four-transmembrane domains, N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic domain and two extracellular loops (ECL). The majority is found in epithelial or endothelial cells of all tissues containing tight junctions (Fig. 1 B). Several overexpression, knockdown or knockout experiments of Claudins in primary human foreskin keratinocytes, in primary rat alveolar epithelial cells and in mice show major evidence that these proteins are responsible for changes in the paracellular permeability in the brain endothelial cells (De Benedetto et al., 2011;
