Molecular cloning and characterization of a calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase enriched in olfactory sensory neurons.

Yan, C, Zhao, A Z, Bentley, J K, Loughney, K, Ferguson, K, Beavo, J A

The sensing of an odorant by an animal must be a rapid but transient process, requiring an instant response and also a speedy termination of the signal. Previous biochemical and electrophysiological...

Activation of a late H2B histone gene in blastula-stage sea urchin embryos by an unusual enhancer element located 3' of the gene.

Zhao, A Z, Colin, A M, Bell, J, Baker, M, Char, B R, Maxson, R

In the sea urchin embryo, late histone genes are transcribed at low levels during cleavage and blastula formation and at substantially higher levels in later stages of embryogenesis. To investigate...

Leptin inhibits insulin secretion by activation of phosphodiesterase 3B.

Zhao, A Z, Bornfeldt, K E, Beavo, J A

The molecular signaling events by which leptin exerts its functions in vivo are not well delineated. Here, we show a novel leptin signaling mechanism that requires phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI...
