Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDetecting Patterns in 5’ Untranslated Regions of Genes Involved in the Regulation of Blood Pressure and Oxidative StressMaria Sanchez-Aguilar, Luz Ibarra-Lara, Beatriz Zamora-Lopez et al.Hypertension is a chronic physical condition with multifactorial causes. Although genetic factors have been associated to this pathological condition, characterization of the sequence patterns in the regulatory sites, for example, in 3’ or 5’ Untranslated Regions (UTR), remains to be explored. In particular, the 5’ UTR of genes associated with the regulation of blood pressure and oxidative stress are analyzed … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 27 Nov 2013 · 7,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStructural Consequences of the Polymorphism Q223R in the Human Leptin Receptor: A Molecular Dynamics StudyJonathan P. Carrillo-Vázquez, Brenda Chimal-Vega, Beatriz Zamora-López et al.Leptin Receptor (LEPR) is a component of a signaling pathway related to appetite and energy expenditure. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) of Leptin receptor gene (lepr) have been proposed as possible modulator of adipose tissue and body weight. The main phenomenological consequence reported of these SNPs is the modulation of the LEP-LEPR interaction promoting the weight gain. Particularly, Q223R polymorphism has … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2013 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIdentification of Pharmacological Targets Combining Docking and Molecular Dynamics SimulationsIlizaliturri-Flores Ian, Rosas-Trigueros Jorge Luis, Carrillo-Vazquez Jonathan Pablo et al.Studies that include both experimental data and computational simulations (in silico) have increased in number because the techniques are complementary. In silico methodologies are currently an essential component of drug design; moreover, identification and optimization of the best ligand based on the structures of biomolecules are common scientific challenges. Geometric structural properties of biomolecules explain their behavior and interactions and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesG-2548A Leptin Promoter and Q223R Leptin Receptor Polymorphisms in Obese Mexican SubjectsP. Carrillo-Vazquez Jonathan, Lopez-Alcantar Jeronimo, Chimal-Vega Brenda et al.Leptin interaction with its receptor in the hypothalamus stimulates a specific signaling cascade that results in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic peptides in order to regulate food intake and energy expenditure. Many polymorphisms in leptin (lep) and leptin receptor (lepr) genes have been associated with body weight. In particular, G-2548A in the lep promoter and Q223R in lepr variants … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 8,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPrediction of a Putative Functional Region in the Human Bax Protein by Computational AnalysisMaría Sánchez-Aguilar, Laurence A. Marchat, Absalom ZamoranoStructural domains are relevant elements for interactions between Bcl-2 family members to regulate apoptosis and cell survival. Although BH1-BH4 domains can be identified by their sequence and selective occurrence in Bcl-2-family members, structural regions have not been entirely determined yet. The functional residues of Bax, the most representative pro-apoptotic protein of the human Bcl-2 family, remain almost unknown. Here, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
