Involvement of P311 in the affective, but not in the sensory component of pain (2008)

Sun, Yan-Gang, Gao, Yong-Jing, Zhao, Zhong-Qiu, Huang, Bing, Yin, Jun, Taylor, Gregory A, ...

Abstract Pain is comprised of the sensory and affective components. Compared to the well-investigated mechanisms of the sensory pain, much less is known about the mechanisms underlying the affective...

Pathogen-specific loss of host resistance in mice lacking the IFN-γ-inducible gene IGTP

Taylor, Gregory A., Collazo, Carmen M., Yap, George S., Nguyen, Khuong, Gregorio, Theresa A., Taylor, Lynn S., ...

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is critical for defense against pathogens, but the molecules that mediate its antimicrobial responses are largely unknown. IGTP is the prototype for a family of...

The von Hippel-Lindau Tumor Suppressor Gene Inhibits Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor-Induced Invasion and Branching Morphogenesis in Renal Carcinoma Cells

Koochekpour, Shahriar, Jeffers, Michael, Wang, Paul H., Gong, Changning, Taylor, Gregory A., Roessler, Lisa M., ...

Loss of function in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene occurs in familial and most sporadic renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). VHL has been linked to the regulation of cell cycle cessation...

Gamma Interferon-Induced Inhibition of Toxoplasma gondii in Astrocytes Is Mediated by IGTP

Halonen, Sandra K., Taylor, Gregory A., Weiss, Louis M.

Toxoplasma gondii is an important pathogen in the central nervous system, causing a severe and often fatal encephalitis in patients with AIDS. Gamma interferon (IFN-γ) is the main cytokine...

The Function of Gamma Interferon-Inducible GTP-Binding Protein IGTP in Host Resistance to Toxoplasma gondii Is Stat1 Dependent and Requires Expression in Both Hematopoietic and Nonhematopoietic Cellular Compartments

Collazo, Carmen M., Yap, George S., Hieny, Sara, Caspar, Patricia, Feng, Carl G., Taylor, Gregory A., ...

IGTP is a member of the 47-kDa family of gamma interferon (IFN-γ)-induced GTPases. We have previously shown that IGTP is critical for host resistance to Toxoplasma gondii infection. In the present...

P311 induces a TGF-β1–independent, nonfibrogenic myofibroblast phenotype

Pan, Desi, Zhe, Xiaoning, Jakkaraju, Sandhya, Taylor, Gregory A., Schuger, Lucia

P311, also called PTZ17, was identified by suppressive subtraction hybridization as potentially involved in smooth muscle (SM) myogenesis. P311 is an 8-kDa protein with several PEST-like motifs found...

STAT1 Is Essential for Antimicrobial Effector Function but Dispensable for Gamma Interferon Production during Toxoplasma gondii Infection

Gavrilescu, L. Cristina, Butcher, Barbara A., Del Rio, Laura, Taylor, Gregory A., Denkers, Eric Y.

The opportunistic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii is a prototypic Th1-inducing pathogen inducing strong gamma interferon (IFN-γ) cytokine responses that are required to survive infection. Intracellular...

p47 GTPases Regulate Toxoplasma gondii Survival in Activated Macrophages

Butcher, Barbara A., Greene, Robert I., Henry, Stanley C., Annecharico, Kimberly L., Weinberg, J. Brice, Denkers, Eric Y., ...

The cytokine gamma interferon (IFN-γ) is critical for resistance to Toxoplasma gondii. IFN-γ strongly activates macrophages and nonphagocytic host cells to limit intracellular growth of T. gondii;...

The p47 GTPases Igtp and Irgb10 map to the Chlamydia trachomatis susceptibility locus Ctrq-3 and mediate cellular resistance in mice

Bernstein-Hanley, Isaac, Coers, Jörn, Balsara, Zarine R., Taylor, Gregory A., Starnbach, Michael N., Dietrich, William F.

Infections caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis contribute to diverse pathologies in a variety of human populations. We previously used a systemic model of C. trachomatis infection in mice to...
