Divergent metabolic regulation of autophagy and mTORC1-early events in Alzheimer's disease? (2017)
Journal Article
Harris, M., Shafei, M., & Conway, M. E. (2017). Divergent metabolic regulation of autophagy and mTORC1-early events in Alzheimer's disease?. Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 9(JUN), https://doi.org/10.3389/fnagi.2017.00173

© 2017 Shafei, Harris and Conway. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease associated with the production and deposition of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) aggregates and neurofibrillary tangles, which lead to synaptic and neuronal damage. Reduced au... Read More about Divergent metabolic regulation of autophagy and mTORC1-early events in Alzheimer's disease?.

S-nitrosylation of the thioredoxin-like domains of protein disulfide isomerase and its role in neurodegenerative conditions (2015)
Journal Article
Conway, M. E., & Harris, M. (2015). S-nitrosylation of the thioredoxin-like domains of protein disulfide isomerase and its role in neurodegenerative conditions. Frontiers in Chemistry, 3(APR), https://doi.org/10.3389/fchem.2015.00027

© 2015 Conway and Harris. Correct protein folding and inhibition of protein aggregation is facilitated by a cellular "quality control system" that engages a network of protein interactions including molecular chaperones and the ubiquitin proteasome s...

RAP55: Insights into an evolutionarily conserved protein family (2009)
Journal Article
Marnef, A., Sommerville, J., & Ladomery, M. (2009). RAP55: Insights into an evolutionarily conserved protein family. International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 41(5), 977-981. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocel.2008.06.015

The RAP55 protein family is evolutionarily conserved in eukaryotes. Two highly conserved paralogues, RAP55A and RAP55B, exist in vertebrates; their functional properties and expression patterns remain to be compared. RAP55 proteins share multiple dom...

Alternative splicing in angiogenesis: The vascular endothelial growth factor paradigm (2007)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M., Harper, S. J., & Bates, D. O. (2007). Alternative splicing in angiogenesis: The vascular endothelial growth factor paradigm. Cancer Letters, 249(2), 133-142. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.canlet.2006.08.015

Alternative splicing, first discovered in the 1970s, has emerged as one of the key generators of proteomic diversity. Not surprisingly, alternative splicing is increasingly linked to the etiology of cancer. This is illustrated by vascular endothelial...

Modulation of the fish immune system by hormones (2000)
Journal Article
Harris, J., & Bird, D. J. (2000). Modulation of the fish immune system by hormones. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 77(3-4), 163-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-2427%2800%2900235-X

Immune-neuroendocrine interactions in fish, as in mammals, have become a focus of considerable interest, with the modulation of immune responses by hormones receiving particular attention. Cortisol, growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), reproductive... Read More about Modulation of the fish immune system by hormones.
