RESULTS: Although the pancreatic transcription factors Pdx1, Ngn3, NeuroD, and Pax6 were induced in both SHs and MHs after Adeno-Pdx1 gene expression, the pancreatic transcription factors Nkx2.2 and Nkx6.1 were induced in SHs more than in MHs. Paper-12960448. We compared the expression of antigen 14C5 with the expression of eight integrin subunits ( alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alphav, beta1, beta2, beta3, and beta4) and three integrin heterodimers (alphavbeta3, alphavbeta5, and alpha5beta1) by flow cytometry. Paper-13507331. Heteromeric nAChRs generally contain either a beta2 or beta4 subunit in addition to an alpha subunit at the ligand- binding interface. alpha-Conotoxin BuIA kinetically distinguishes between beta2- and beta4-containing nAChRs, with long off times for the latter.

Furthermore, inhibition of Src tyrosine kinases, or phosphoinositide 3-kinase with PP1 or LY294002, respectively, blocked beta2 integrin- induced degranulation and the redistribution of Rap1 and Rap2 to a membrane-enriched fraction. Paper-13049272. Recombinantly expressed gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors consisting of alpha 1, beta 2, and gamma 2 subunits contain a binding site for benzodiazepines that differs in its properties from that of alpha 3 beta 2 gamma 2 receptors. Paper-7158898. Since aminophylline stimulates the secretions of catecholamine from the sympathetic nerve endings and the adrenal medulla, we assumed that TRH was released from the hypothalamus by a beta-2-receptor mechanism because TSH secretion had been stimulated. Paper-6370291. Anti-c-Myc monoclonal antibody (mAb 9-E10) derivatized with a fluorophore ( europium cryptate, EuK) was used to individually label c-Myc-tagged alpha1-, beta2-, or gamma2-subunits of the hetero-oligomeric gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor in intact cells.

Paper-10042725. Unlike beta1- and beta2, beta3-immunoreactivity did not decrease after avulsion injury, and the beta3:neurofilament ratio was significantly increased in proximal injured human nerves. beta3-subunit expression may thus be regulated differently from beta1, beta2 and Nav1.

We show that while there are no changes in alpha1, alpha4, alphav, beta1, beta2, beta3, alpha5beta1, alphavbeta3, alphavbeta5 integrin expression on the LEC surface after hypoxia exposure, there exists an accumulation of TGFBI adaptor protein in LEC supernatants. Paper-12933540. We identified two homozygous mutations in NEUROG3, both of which rendered the NEUROG3 protein unable to activate NEUROD1, a downstream target of NEUROG3, and compromised the ability of NEUROG3 to bind to an E-box element in the NEUROD1 promoter. Paper-12148931. 5. These cells also expressed the transcription factor, neurogenin-3, NeuroD/ beta 2, and islet factor I, which are believed to be transcription factors in neuroectoderm as well as in pancreatic islet cells, but not pancreatic-duodenal homeobox 1, Pax4, or Nkx2. Paper-8674118. Glutathione S-transferase-beta2 tail fusion protein/ mutagenesis experiments suggest that the affinity of alpha-actinin binding to the beta2 tail is regulated by a change in the conformation of the tail that unmasks a cryptic alpha-actinin binding domain. Paper-1681278. In this study, we define the scaffolding potential of the Schwann cell dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) by establishing the presence of four syntrophin isoforms, ( alpha1, beta1, beta2, and gamma2), and one dystrobrevin isoform, (alpha-dystrobrevin-1), in the abaxonal membrane. Paper-12766886. A monoclonal antibody specific for the insulin receptor ( MA5) completely immunoprecipitated all the insulin binding activity from both the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric and alpha beta heterodimeric insulin receptor complexes but did not immunoprecipitate IGF-1 receptors.

Paper-10062268. Immunoblot analysis indicated that MCF-7 cells that stably overexpress wild-type or constitutively activated mutants of PKCbeta1 or beta2 had higher cellular levels of cyclin D1 than vector control cells, whereas cells that express a dominant negative mutant had decreased levels of cyclin D1. Paper-12344927. Furthermore, transfection of HEK 293 cells with alpha 1 plus gamma 2L subunits results in responses to GABA that are potentiated by the drug loreclezole, suggesting that a subunit resembling the beta 2 or beta 3 subunit had assembled with the alpha 1 gamma 2L subunits.

Paper-9686735. The clathrin heavy chain accesses the same contact surface on the AP-2 beta2 appendage, but because of additional clathrin binding sites located within the unstructured hinge segment of the beta2 subunit, clathrin binds the beta2 chain with a higher apparent affinity than PIPKIgamma661.

Paper-9541118. These results showed that Pyk2 is involved in the functional activation of granulocytic cells in 2 signaling pathways: an fMLP receptor- mediated "inside-out" signaling pathway that might cause beta2 integrin activation and a subsequent beta2 integrin-mediated "outside-in" signaling pathway. Paper-8380371. Sequence analysis of the catalytic domains of the PHDs in the light of crystal structures for PHD2, and results for other 2OG oxygenases, suggested that either the C-terminal region or a loop linking two beta-strands ( beta2 and beta3 in human PHD2) are important in determining substrate selectivity. Paper-12734926. After completion of deletion construct analysis and mutagenesis and mobility shift assays, we concluded that collapsin response mediator protein-2 basal promoter activity is regulated by the transcription factors AP-2 and Pax-3, whereas E2F, Sp1 and NeuroD1 seem not to participate in its regulation. Paper-12428366. In previous work (Sankaran, B., Osterhout, J., Wu, D., and Smrcka, A. V. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 7148-7154), we showed that overlapping peptides, N20K (Asn(564)-Lys(583)) and E20K (Glu(574)-Lys(593)), from the catalytic domain of phospholipase C (PLC) beta2 block Gbetagamma-dependent activation of PLC beta2. Paper-8775751. We show that upon neutrophil adhesion to the endothelial lining, leukocytic beta2 integrin signaling triggers the release of neutrophil-borne heparin-binding protein ( HBP), also known as CAP37/azurocidin, a member of the serprocidin family of neutrophil cationic proteins. Paper-9076284. Our data show that all PPAR-gamma agonists under study significantly down-regulated the RSV- induced expression of ICAM-1 on A549- and NHBE cells in a dose-dependent manner resulting in a reduced beta2 integrin-mediated adhesion of monocytic effector cells (U937) to RSV-infected A549 cell monolayers. Paper-13178570. TCF-I beta 1 was slightly neutralized by anti-TNF alpha antibody, but TCF-I beta 2 was not affected by antisera against IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta, or anti-TNF alpha antibody, thus ruling out the possibility that tumor necrosis factor ( TNF alpha) might be involved in tumor cell killing mediated by TCF-I beta 2. Paper-6289697. A battery of antibodies directed against fragments of different connexins localized beta 1- and beta 2-gap junction antigens (connexins 32 and 26, respectively) at the intercellular borders of the superficial epithelium while alpha 1-gap junction antigen ( connexin 43) was localized to the loose connective tissues.

Paper-206899. Northern blot analysis indicated a 3.4-kb RNA transcript for the beta 2 subunit, a 4.5-kb RNA for the alpha 1 subunit and a doublet of 2.3 and 2.6 kb for the beta 1 subunit, respectively. alpha 1 ( 100 kDa), beta 1 (45 kDa) and beta 2 (65 kDa) isoforms were detected in hRPE extracts by immunoblotting. Paper-796066. Statistical comparison of the functional constraints imposed on the canonical and non-canonical PBC containing sequences reveals that a key arginine, which coordinates with the cAMP phosphate, has co-evolved with a glycine in a distal beta2- beta3 loop that allosterically couples cAMP binding to distal regulatory sites. Paper-13453834. In contrast to control mice, transgenic mice with low-level beta2* nAChR expression in the VTA showed no increase in overall levels of cyclic AMP response element- binding protein ( CREB) but did show an increase in CREB phosphorylation in response to exposure to a nicotine-paired chamber. Paper-13728550. In ADPKD kidneys, alpha1 and beta2 subunits were localized to the apical epithelial cell membranes, whereas beta1 was distributed throughout the cytoplasm and predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum, but was not seen associated with cystic epithelial cell membranes or in cell membrane fractions. Paper-2085017. Using a modification of the chromosome conformation capture (3C) assay in vitro and in ss cells, we observed that Pdx1 and BETA2/ NeuroD1 mediate looping of a segment of the insulin gene that brings EcoRI sites located at -623 bp and +761 bp (relative to the transcriptional start site) in proximity to one another. Paper-12772870. We have examined, using immunohistological methods, the expression of the VLA (very late activation) family comprising beta 1 in association with alpha 1-6, and also alpha 6 in association with beta 4, the LFA beta chain beta 2, and the vitronectin receptor, in association with beta 1 or beta 5 and as the complex alpha v beta 3.

In addition, they expressed multiple genes related to pancreatic beta-cell development and function (e.g. insulin 1, insulin 2, islet-1, Pdx-1, NeuroD/ beta2, glut-2 and Nkx6.1), but not other pancreas-specific hormones and enzymes (e.g. glucagon, somatostatin and amylase). Paper-13575761. We found that Alx3 transactivates the insulin promoter by acting on the E2A3/4 enhancer in conjunction with the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors E47/ Pan1 and Beta2/ NeuroD, and that Alx3 physically interacts via the homeodomain with E47/ Pan1 but not with Beta2/ NeuroD. Paper-12289834. A more promising gene therapy approach has been to express pancreatic endocrine developmental factors, such as PDX-1, NeuroD/ BETA2 and Neurogenin 3, to promote differentiation of non-endocrine cells towards a beta cell or islet phenotype, enabling these cells to synthesize and secrete insulin in a glucose-regulated manner. Paper-11332468. The association of a common T/C polymorphism in the promoter region of the beta 2 constant chain of the T-cell receptor with autoimmune diseases, such as insulin-dependent diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, was described in the 1990s. Paper-12763219. Scatchard analyses of insulin binding to the alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric control or dithiothreitol-treated but nondissociated alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric insulin receptor complexes demonstrated a curvilinear binding isotherm with a maximum of 1 mol of insulin bound/ mol of alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetrameric complex. Paper-5728594. We have previously reported that human T cell receptors (TcR) selected in the class II-restricted (HLA-DRB1*1302) response to a tetanus toxin peptide (tt830-843) frequently used the V beta 2 germ-line segment which paired with several V alpha segments and that the putative CDR3 of both alpha and beta chains showed remarkable heterogeneity. Paper-107043. Cry1 induction at night was associated with up-regulation of genes coding for NeuroD1 ( neurogenic differentiation factor 1), Pbef / Nampt ( nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase), Hif1alpha (hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha), and Kcnq5 (K+ channel) and down-regulation of Rorbeta, a key clock gene regulator. Paper-13047241. The proposed model for the coordinate regulation of genes in the cluster accounts for the head-to-head orientation and parallel expression of the alpha1 and beta2 subunit genes, and for the disruption of transcription caused by insertion of a neomycin gene in the close vicinity of the alpha6 gene, which is proximal to a putative critical S/ MAR. Paper-13358658. A role for Vav in the activation of p21ras is supported by the observations that antibody- induced engagement of beta 2 integrins causes an association of Vav with p21ras and that the effect of genistein on p21ras activation coincided with its ability to inhibit both the tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav and the Vav-p21ras association. Paper-619220. We found that all the alpha subunits of the Gq class, including G alpha q, G alpha 11, G alpha 14, G alpha 15, and G alpha 16 could activate PLC beta 4 and that none of the G beta gamma subunits that we tested including G beta 1 gamma 1, G beta 1 gamma 2, G beta 1 gamma 3, or G beta 2 gamma 2 activated phospholipase C beta 4. Paper-8002556.

Out of 13 bHLH genes tested, 4 genes, i.e., achaete-scute complex-like 1 ( ASCL1, HASH1, Mash1), atonal homolog 1 ( ATOH1, HATH1, MATH1), NEUROD4 ( ATH-3, Atoh3, MATH-3) and neurogenic differentiation factor 1 ( NEUROD1, NEUROD, BETA2), showed differential expression among lung tumors and absent or low expression in normal lung. Paper-13274991. In situ hybridization data supported the finding of SS4(+81) and SS2(+174) in vascular smooth muscle and trigeminal ganglion. beta-subunits beta2 and beta4 showed high expression in brain and trigeminal ganglion and some in cerebral vessels while beta1 showed highest expression in blood vessels. beta3 was found only in testis and possibly brain. Paper-13605684. Amongst these factors, Pdx1 plays a critical role in defining the region of the primitive gut that will form the pancreas, Ngn3 expression drives cells towards an endocrine lineage, and a number of additional proteins including Pdx1, in a second wave of expression, Pax4, NeuroD1/ beta2, and MafA act as beta cell differentiation factors. Paper-13048514. Those sets were a voltage-dependent K(+) channel series (rat erg, KvLQT1, Kv4.3, Kv4.2, Kv2.1, Kv1.5, Kv1.4, Kv1.2), an inwardly rectifying K(+) channel series (rat Kir6.2, SUR2A/B, Kir3.4, Kir3.1, Kir2.2, Kir2.1), and an inward cationic ion channel series (rat SCN5A, alpha1C, beta2, alpha2delta2 of cardiac L-type Ca(2+) channel and alpha1G).
