Identification of a proline residue as a transduction element involved in voltage gating of gap junctions.

abstract：:Histones package DNA, and post-translational modifications of histones can regulate access to DNA. Until recently, histone methylation-unlike all other histone modifications-was considered a permanent mark. The discovery of enzymes that reverse the methylation of lysines and arginines challenges our current thinking o...

abstract：:Nuclear import of the NF-AT transcription factors during T-cell activation requires the calcium-activated phosphatase calcineurin, which unmasks nuclear-location signals on NF-AT. We show here that the nuclear import of NF-ATs is not sufficient to activate NF-AT target genes, as NF-ATs are subject to a futile cycling ...
