  text: Small GTPases play essential roles in the organization of eukaryotic cells.
    In recent years, it has become clear that their intracellular functions result
    from intricate biochemical networks of the GTPase and their regulators that dynamically
    bind to a membrane surface. Due to the inherent complexities of their interactions,
    however, revealing the underlying mechanisms of action is often difficult to achieve
    from in vivo studies. This review summarizes in vitro reconstitution approaches
    developed to obtain a better mechanistic understanding of how small GTPase activities
    are regulated in space and time.

  text: "\r\nWe have examined the effects of heat stress on electron transfer in the
    thylakoid membrane of an engineered plastid ndh deletion mutant, Δ1, incapable
    of performing the Ndh-mediated reduction of the plastoquinone pool in the chloroplast.
    Upon heat stress in the dark, the rate of PSII- independent reduction of PSI after
    subsequent illumination by far-red light is dramatically enhanced in both Δ1 and
    a wild-type control plant (WT). In contrast, in the dark, only the WT shows an
    increase in the reduction state of the plastoquinone pool. We conclude that the
    heat stress-induced reduction of the intersystem electron transport chain can
    be mediated by Ndh- independent pathways in the light but that in the dark the
    dominant pathway for reduction of the plastoquinone pool is catalysed by the Ndh
    complex. Our results therefore demonstrate a functional role for the Ndh complex
    in the dark.\r\n"

  text: H+-transhydrogenase (H+-Thase) and NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH)
    are very active in animal mitochondria but their physiological function is only
    poorly understood. This is especially so in the case of the heart and muscle,
    where there are no major consumers of NADPH. We propose here that H+-Thase and
    NADP-ICDH have a combined function in the fine regulation of the activity of the
    tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, providing enhanced sensitivy to changes in energy
    demand. This is achieved through cycling of substrates by NAD-linked ICDH, NADP-linked
    ICDH and H+-Thase. It is proposed that NAD-ICDH operates in the forward direction
    of the TCA cycle, but NADP-ICDH is driven in reverse by elevated levels of NADPH
    resulting from the action of the transmembrane proton electrochemical potential
    gradient (Δp) on H+-Thase. This has the effect of increasing the sensitivity to
    allosteric modifiers of NAD-ICDH (NADH, ADP, ATP, Ca2+ etc), potentially giving
    rise to large changes in the net flux from iso-citrate to α-ketoglutarate. Furthermore,
    changes in the level of Δp resulting from changes in the demand for ATP would,
    via H+-Thase, shift the redox state of the NADP pool and this, in turn, would
    lead to a change in the rate of the reaction catalysed by NADP-ICDH and hence
    to an additional and complementary effect on the net metabolic flux from isocitrate
    to α-ketoglutarate. Other consequences of this substrate cycle are, (i) the production
    of heat at the expense of Δp, which may contribute to thermoregulation in the
    animal, and (ii) an increased rate of dissipation of Δp (leak).

  text: The respiratory burst induced by phorbol myristate acetate in mouse macrophages
    was inhibited by ultra-low doses (10-15 -10-13 M) of an opioid peptide [d-Ala2]
    methionine enkephalinamide. The effect disappeared at concentrations above and
    below this range. The inhibition approached 50% and was statistically significant
    (P &lt; 0.001). Increasing the time of the opioid incubation with cells brought
    about a shift in the maximal effect to lower concentrations of the opioid (from
    10-13 to 5 · 10-15 M) and led to a decrease in the value of the effect, fully
    in accord with the previously proposed adaptation mechanism of the action of ultra-low
    doses.
