ABSTRACT: This model was created according to the paper Inhibition of Adenylate Cyclase Is Mediated by the High Affinity Conformation of the alpha2-Adrenergic Receptor published in 1988. The figure4 (steady state curve) in the paper has been simulated having the same plot with Copasi 4.0.19 (development) and roadRunner(online).Because the initial concentration of R and D were not given in the paper ,so we gave it 1e-9 Mol/L and 1e-8 Mol/L respectively. Pay attention that the simulations of steady state concentration of species in arbitrary units are shown for figure4 and figure6 in the paper.

The functional significance of high affinity agonist binding to receptors that interact with guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins has remained controversial. Preincubation of human platelet membranes with the full alpha 2-agonist UK 14,304 in the absence of GTP increases the potency of the agonist to inhibit adenylate cyclase in a pre-steady state (15-sec) assay. The EC50 after preincubation (6 +/- 1 nM) is within a factor of 2 of the high affinity Kd for [3H]UK 14,304 binding determined under ...[more]

Project description:Three experiments, corresponding to the three figures in the article, are represented in this set. Each experiment was an ex vivo treatment time course as described in the paper. For each of the experiments, mRNA was isolated at the indicated time points, cDNA was directly prepared by reverse transcription in the presence of Cy5-labeled dUTP, and the expression profiled using Cy3-labeled cDNA prepared by reverse transcription of Stratagene Universal Human Reference RNA as a control. One experiment, corresponding to Figure 1 in the paper, is a set of infection, or mock-infection time courses, in which each of three cell types: primary human dermal fibroblasts, primary human macrophages, or HELA cells were respectively infected with Monkeypox virus, Vaccinia virus, or Ebola virus, or mock-infected. Infected cells or mock-infected cells were harvested and lysed at the indicated times after infection and mRNA isolated for analysis following the protocol described above. The second experiment, corresponding to Figure 2 in the paper, is a set of treatments of human dermal fibroblasts, each in 24-well plates with either: PBS only (mock), interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) at 0.6 pM final concentration (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) at 0.6 pM final concentration (Sigma), PMA at 25ng/mL final concentration plus ionomycin at 1micromolar final concentration, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid as potassium salt (poly(I-C)) at 100 microg/mL final concentration (Sigma), Escherichia coli 055:B5 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 1microg/mL final concentration (Sigma), or dexamethasone at 1 micromolar final concentration (Sigma). Cells were harvested and lysed at the indicated times and mRNA isolated for analysis following the protocol described above. The third experiment, corresponding to Figure 3 in the paper, is a set of infections or mock-infections of human dermal fibroblasts, or human primary macrophages, with Monkeypox virus or Vaccinia virus, respectively, followed by treatment with either ionomycin + phorbol myristic acid (PMA) or with poly(I-C). The intention of the experiment was to investigate whether prior infection altered the response of the cells to the chemical agents. Cells were harvested and lysed at the indicated times and mRNA isolated for analysis following the protocol described above.
