Receptor Signal Transduction Protocols

Receptor Signal Transduction Protocols

This second edition of Receptor Signal Transduction Protocols not only has a new editor, but also a greater focus on G-protein-coupled receptors, their properties per se, and their coupling to immediate downstream binding partners—principally, although not exclusively, the heterotrimeric G-proteins. The new edition combines updates of key chapters from the first edition, as well as a large number of new contributions covering key methodologies that have emerged, or been extended to receptor/G-protein research, in the past 5–6 years. In common with many fields, the range of methods used to assess the first steps in signal transduction are continually expanding and methods that might have ...

Stress Response

Mammalian cells have evolved a complex multicomponent machinery that enables them to sense and respond to a wide variety of potentially toxic agents present in their environment. These stress responses are often associated with an increased cellular capacity to tolerate normally lethal levels of an insult. The realization that the mammalian stress response may be intimately linked with many human diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ischemia, fever, infection, and cancer, has led to an explosion of interest in this research area. Stress Response: Methods and Protocols brings together a diverse array of practical methodologies that may be employed to address various aspects of the respon...

Lipase and Phospholipase Protocols

The lipases and phospholipases represent a diverse group of enzymes that are expressed in animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Their ubiquitous distribution among all species is a testament to the essential roles played by these enzymes in lipid storage, mobilization and metabolism, membrane homeostasis and remodeling, endocrine and immune functions, and signal tra- duction. In humans, lipases and phospholipases are also thought to contribute to complex diseases, such as atherosclerosis, obesity, arthritis, and cancer, as well as to single gene defects, such as Wolman's disease and Type I hyperlipoproteinemia. Enzymatically, the lipases are unique, since they hydrolyze substrates that are e...

The living and the dead are working side by side in John Challis's dramatic debut collection, The Resurrectionists. Whether in London's veg and meat markets, far below the Dartford Crossing, or on the edge of the Western world, these poems journey into a buried and sometimes violent landscape to locate the traces of ourselves that remain. Amidst the political disquiet rising from the groundwater, or the unearthing of the class divide at the gravesides of plague victims, the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest when a child is born, and something close to hope for the future is resurrected.

Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes

For both volumes: Expert investigators describe not only the classic methods, but also the many novel techniques they have perfected for the transfer of large DNAs into the cells of both microbes and animals via large-insert recombinant DNAs. Volume 1 presents readily reproducible techniques for library construction, physical mapping, and sequencing.. An accompanying volume, Volume 2: Functional Studies, provides a wide variety of methods and applications for functional analysis of the DNA-transformed organisms. Besides protocols, each chapter includes scientific reviews, software tools, database resources, genome sequencing strategies, and illustrative case studies.

Neuroprotection Methods and Protocols

This book examines current research into the role of neuronal death in cell signaling pathways, and its role in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. After introducing neurodegenerative, traumatic, and ishemic disorders, the authors cover in vitro and animal systems, and cellular and molecular mechanisms.

Protein Lipidation Protocols

In Protein Lipidation Protocols, Michael Gelb brings together a collection of readily reproducible techniques for studying protein lipidation, the covalent attachment of lipids to proteins. These cutting-edge methods-many never published before in a "hands-on" format-deal with glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-containing compounds, protein fatty acylation, and protein prenylation. Included are novel techniques for determining the chemical structure of GPI-anchors, for radiolabeling the prenyl groups of protein in eukaryotic cells, a tool for developing inhibitors of the protein farnesyltransferase, and for an exciting lysosomal enzyme that cleaves fatty acyl groups from proteins, the first fatty acylase discovered. Protein Lipidation Protocols offers biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, medicinal chemists, and pharmaceutical researchers state-of-the-art tools for understanding the complex biochemistry of protein lipidation, as well as catalyzing the development of many important new biopharmaceuticals, including anticancer drugs.

Signal Transduction Protocols

As our understanding of the biological sciences expands, the bou- aries between traditional disciplines tend to blur at the edges. Physio- gists and pharmacologists, for instance, now need to embrace techniques that until recently were the strict preserves of biochemists and mole- lar biologists. However, the acquisition of new technologies can be a time-consuming and frustrating business, and unless an expert is on hand to give instruction, precious hours can be spent poring over half-described Methods sections with no guarantee of eventual success. The aim of Signal Transduction Protocols has been to get experts with "hands-on" experience in particular techniques to give detailed accounts ...

Calcium Signaling Protocols

2+ The regulation of intracellular Ca is a common theme presented in many 2+ papers over the last 20 or so years, and the description of the Ca -sensitive indicator dye fura 2 in 1985 resulted in a massive increase in these types of 2+ studies. Aspects of the regulation of intracellular Ca have been dealt with in many of the subsequent chapters and will therefore not be covered again. Calcium Signaling Protocols results from a chance discussion with Dr. R. I. Norman of the Department of Medicine at Leicester University and r- resents a major effort from a group of extremely helpful and very patient - thors. Putting a book like this together takes time and I am indebted to these authors without whom this project would have remained a chance discussion. I am also very grateful to Professor J. M. Walker, the series editor, for all his help and advice over the course of this project and particularly his help editing the first batch of chapters. I would also like to thank Dr E. L. Pallett for help and advice regarding interconversion of Mac and Word files and for archiving chapters.
