Although several cytosolic proteins including calmodulin and cyclophilin have been shown to bind cyclosporine, the direct involvement of these proteins in the immunosuppressive activity of cyclosporine remains to be established. In the present study, a quantitative immunoassay for cyclophilin was de

Seven purified cyclosporine (CsA) metabolites were analyzed for binding to cyciophilin and to a 50 kDa protein purified from a JURKAT cell line. In addition, the potency of the seven metabolites, relative to CsA, was obtained using a primary mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) suppression assay. CsA, M1,
## Abstract The matrix protein thrombospondin‐4 has an acidic amphipathic C‐terminal peptide (C21) which stimulates erythroid cell proliferation. Here we show that C21 stimulates red cell formation in anemic mice in vivo. In vitro experiments indicated that the peptide‐mediated increase of erythroi
Protein kinase CK1, also known as casein kinase 1, participates in the phosphorylation of b-catenin, which regulates the functioning of the Wnt signaling cascade involved in embryogenesis and carcinogenesis. b-catenin phosphorylation occurs in a multiprotein complex assembled on the scaffold protein
The concentration dependences of the binding of fusicoccins (FCs) A, B, C, D, J and H to plasma membranes isolated from maize (Zea mays L.) roots have been studied in parallel with the effects of these compounds on elongation and (86)Rb transport in detached maize roots. The dissociation constants o
