Hepatoma-derived growth factor and nucleolin exist in the same ribonucleoprotein complex
Conclusion: The results provide evidence for the existence of HDGF and nucleolin containing nucleoprotein complexes which formation depends on the presence of specific mRNAs. The nature of these RNAs and other components of the complexes should be investigated in future. (Source: BMC Biochemistry)

The COP1 E3-ligase interacts with FIP200, a key regulator of mammalian autophagy
Conclusions: These data suggest that COP1 modulates FIP200-associated activities, which may contribute to a variety of cellular functions that COP1 is involved in. (Source: BMC Biochemistry)

In vitro substrate phosphorylation by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase using guanosine-5¿-triphosphate as a phosphate donor
Conclusions: These results indicated that screens that use STO-609 as a CaMKK inhibitor and Mg-GTP as a CaMKK-dependent phosphate donor might be useful to identify previously unidentified downstream target substrates of CaMKK. (Source: BMC Biochemistry)

The effect of EGTA and Ca++ in regulation of the brain Na/K-ATP-ase by noradrenaline
The Na/K-ATPase activity of the brain synaptic plasma membranes (SPM) is regulated by noradrenaline (NA) and the synaptosomal factor SF (soluble protein obtained from the synaptosome cytosol). In the absence o... (Source: BMC Biochemistry)

A direct method to visualise the aryl acylamidase activity on cholinesterases in polyacrylamide gels
In vertebrates, two types of cholinesterases exist, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. The function of acetylcholinesterase is to hydrolyse acetylcholine, thereby terminating the neurotransmission... (Source: BMC Biochemistry)
