Identification of an amino-terminus determinant critical for ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel function. by Seidel, Monika

“…The negatively-charged side chains of two aspartate residues (D179 and D180) within the β8-β9 loop are crucial for the N-terminal inter-subunit interaction. We also show that the RyR2 N-terminus domain interacts with the C-terminal channel pore region in a Ca2+-independent manner. …”

Effect of sintering temperature of NBT–6BT lead-free ceramics on the structural, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties by Slimani, Ahmed

“…The XRD results show that the 850 °C is the best calcination temperature, where the NBT-6BT ceramic had the largest crystallite size with a dense sample, 96% of the theoretical value. However, the density decreased significantly with increasing the calcination temperature above 850 °C due to the secondary phase formation. …”

Microbiota-derived acetate activates intestinal innate immunity via the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex by Bat-Erdene, Jugder

“…In these cells, the IMD pathway co-regulates expression of antimicrobial and enteroendocrine peptides including tachykinin, a repressor of intestinal lipid synthesis. To determine whether acetate acts on a cell surface pattern recognition receptor or an intracellular target, we asked whether acetate import was essential for IMD signaling. …”
