LRRFIP1 has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway signaling; however, little is known about its own regulation and function. This study was undertaken to characterize the biochemical properties and its regulation. Over-expression of full length LRRFIP1 led to enhanced responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We examined its expression in monocytic cell lines because they express a broad range of TLRs. We found that its level of expression was not altered by LPS or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) but that it was up-regulated by nicotine, influenza infection, and serum starvation. Phosphorylation was examined because of the bioinformatically predicted serine phosphorylation sites. Serine phosphorylation was detected and was altered by both poly I:C and nicotine. Finally, we examined the regulation of intracellular localization in response to dsRNA and found that LRRFIP1 colocalized with labeled dsRNA in monocyte lysosomal structures but not with lysosomes lacking dsRNA. These data suggest that LRRFIP1 is phosphorylated in response to immunologic stimuli and it is directed to lysosomal structures.

Phosphorylation of Bok at Ser-8 blocks its ability to suppress IPR-mediated calcium mobilization.

Background: Bok is a poorly characterized Bcl-2 protein family member with roles yet to be clearly defined. It is clear, however, that Bok binds strongly to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP) receptors (IPRs), which govern the mobilization of Ca from the endoplasmic reticulum, a signaling pathway required for many cellular processes. Also known is that Bok has a highly conserved phosphorylation site for cAMP-dependent protein kinase at serine-8 (Ser-8).

Background: Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively inhibits viral replication, it does not fully mitigate the immunosenescence instigated by HIV infection. Cellular metabolism regulates cellular differentiation, survival, and senescence. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2) is the first key enzyme for the entry of serine into the mitochondria from the de novo synthesis pathway that orchestrates its conversion glutathione (GSH), a key molecule in neutralising ROS and ensuring the stability of the immune system.

Background: Fracture disrupts the integrity and continuity of the bone, leading to symptoms such as pain, tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Rhizoma Musae is a medicinal material frequently utilized in the Miao ethnic region of Guizhou Province, China. However, its specific mechanism of action in treating fractures remains unknown.

The carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) is pivotal for managing misfolded and aggregated proteins via chaperone networks and degradation pathways. In a preclinical rodent model of CHIP-related ataxia, we observed that CHIP mutations lead to increased levels of phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A), whose role in this context remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of PDE9A in CHIP-related ataxia and demonstrated that CHIP binds to PDE9A, facilitating its polyubiquitination and autophagic degradation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism of chrysophanol(Chr) in reducing inflammation and foam cell formation induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) and to investigate the targets and pathways related to effects of Chr on coronary atherosclerosis, providing a theoretical basis for the development of new clinical drugs. RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro, and after determining the appropriate concentrations of Chr and ox-LDL for treating RAW264.
