Preventing leptin resistance by blocking angiotensin II AT1 receptors in diet-induced obese rats.

Br. J. Pharmacol. 172(3) , 857-68, (2015)

AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs) represent an approach for treating metabolic syndrome due to their potency in reducing hypertension, body weight and onset of type 2 diabetes. The mechanism underlying ARB-induced weight loss is still unclear.Leptin resistance tes...

DZNep is a global histone methylation inhibitor that reactivates developmental genes not silenced by DNA methylation.

Mol. Cancer Ther. 8 , 1579-1588, (2009)

DNA methylation, histone modifications, and nucleosomal occupancy collaborate to cause silencing of tumor-related genes in cancer. The development of drugs that target these processes is therefore important for cancer therapy. Inhibitors of DNA methylation an...

Effects of a novel arginine methyltransferase inhibitor on T-helper cell cytokine production.

FEBS J. 277(9) , 2096-108, (2010)

The protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family of enzymes catalyzes the transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine to the guanidino nitrogen atom of peptidylarginine to form monomethylarginine or dimethylarginine. We created several less polar ...

Conformational transitions as determinants of specificity for the DNA methyltransferase EcoRI.

J. Biol. Chem. 281(37) , 26821-31, (2006)

Changes in DNA bending and base flipping in a previously characterized specificity-enhanced M.EcoRI DNA adenine methyltransferase mutant suggest a close relationship between precatalytic conformational transitions and specificity (Allan, B. W., Garcia, R., Ma...

The Caulobacter crescentus DNA-(adenine-N6)-methyltransferase CcrM methylates DNA in a distributive manner.

Nucleic Acids Res. 40 , 1708-16, (2012)

The specificity and processivity of DNA methyltransferases have important implications regarding their biological functions. We have investigated the sequence specificity of CcrM and show here that the enzyme has a high specificity for GANTC sites, with only ...

Molecular recognition and modification of the 30S ribosome by the aminoglycoside-resistance methyltransferase NpmA.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 111(17) , 6275-80, (2014)

Aminoglycosides are potent, broad spectrum, ribosome-targeting antibacterials whose clinical efficacy is seriously threatened by multiple resistance mechanisms. Here, we report the structural basis for 30S recognition by the novel plasmid-mediated aminoglycos...

Characterization of a mimivirus RNA cap guanine-N2 methyltransferase.

RNA 15 , 666-74, (2009)

A 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (TMG) cap is a signature feature of eukaryal snRNAs, telomerase RNAs, and trans-spliced nematode mRNAs. TMG and 2,7-dimethylguanosine (DMG) caps are also present on mRNAs of two species of alphaviruses (positive strand RNA viruses o...
