Reaction in alphavirus mRNA capping: formation of a covalent complex of nonstructural protein nsP1 with 7-methyl-GMP.

abstract：:Stimulation of resting CD4(+) T lymphocytes leads to rapid proliferation and differentiation into effector (Teff) or inducible regulatory (Treg) subsets with specific functions to promote or suppress immunity. Importantly, Teff and Treg use distinct metabolic programs to support subset specification, survival, and fun...

abstract：:Two affinity species of the interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor are different states of a single receptor molecule. We assumed that a binary complex between the IL-2 receptor and another lymphocyte-specific protein would constitute the high-affinity receptor. To test this assumption, we counted the numbers of IL-2 receptors...
