研究发现将碳水化合物转化为脂肪关键基因

加州大学伯克利分校的科学家们揭示了机体将碳水化合物转化为脂肪的分子机制，他们在研究中发现BAF60c基因会导致脂肪肝。研究显示，即使饮食中含糖量高，缺乏BAF60c基因的小鼠依然不能将碳水化合物转化为脂肪。

The RAF family：an expanding network of post—traslational controls and protein—protein interactions

Protein kinase RAF is strategically located in the “Ras-MAP-kinase signal transduction pathway“,a principle system which transmits signals from growth factor receptors to the nucleus,resulting in cell proliferation.Growth factor responses are mediated in part by activation of Ras,which in turn activates RAF to phosphorylate MEK,its downstream substrate.MEK activates MAPkinase to in fluence nuclear events.it is clear.however,that a network of signals other than those carred by Ras plays a role in RAF regulation.These orthogonal influences are mediated bu:serine/threonine kinases,tyrosine kinases,and protein-protein interactions.As a further complication to the RAF network,three isoforms of RAF have been established which have divergent N-terminal regulatory domains,Whereas these divergent regulatory domains implicate isoform-specific functions,no clear evidence or hypothesis for distinct functions for individual isoforms has been presented.Recently,“isoform-specific protein interactions“have been identified among numerous proteins interacting with RAF,These studies may serve to delineate independent functions for RAF isoforms.
