Regulating flaps

The slide-covered openings in the rear doors are to be omitted, and replaced with open slits of 100 x 10 mm [4 x 0.4"] in the upper back wall (not door). They are to be covered on the outside with easily movable, hinged metal flaps." 1. To allow for the rapid inflow of the CO while preventing excessive pressure, two open slits of 10 x 1cm [4 x 0.4 ] are to be located in the upper back wall. These are to be covered on the outside with easily movable, hinged metal flaps to allow for self-regulation of any potential excess pressure. ... 

An aircraft has three controlling surfaces to regulate these three movements (see Figure 12-18). The elevators control the pitch of the aircraft. They are located in the horizontal tail section. The ailerons control the roll of the aircraft, whereas the rudder controls the aircraft s yaw from the vertical tail section. The other parts of a typical aircraft are the cockpit, wings, fuselage, tail section, and flaps.

It is well established that in response to a variety of agents that cause an increase in intracellular calcium levels and stimulate LT synthesis, including calcium ionophore, cross-linked IgE receptors, thapsigargin and f-MetLeuPhe, 5-LOX translocates from a soluble to a membrane fraction in cells [26,27,39-41]. By subcellular fractionation and immunoblot analysis, compounds which bind to FLAP both inhibit and reverse this membrane association in a concentration-dependent manner [42—45]. For structural analogues of MK-886 and six different series of quinoline compounds, there is a correlation between inhibition of 5-LOX translocation and cellular LT synthesis [43,46-48], suggesting that FLAP regulates the membrane association of 5-LOX. 

The identification and functional analysis of FLAP has significantly improved our understanding of the mechanism of LT synthesis in recent years. Flowever, a number of questions remain about how this interesting protein interacts with other proteins to stimulate 5-LOX activity. In addition, recent evidence that FLAP is a member of a family of related proteins presents intriguing questions about the complexity of this family and the biological processes that family members may regulate. 

Several structures of ureases are available (2). In all cases, the active site contains two Ni(II) ions bridged by the carboxylate group of a carbamylated lysine and by a hydroxide ion (Fig. lA). Each Ni is also coordinated by two histidines and one water molecule, whereas Ni(2) is further bound to an aspartate, resulting in a pentacoordinate Ni(l) and hexacoordinate Ni(2). In the resting state of the enzyme from Bacillus pasteurii, the active site accommodates a fourth water molecule, completing a tetrahedral cluster of solvent molecules (12). The access to the active site is regulated by a flexible helix-loop-helix motif, the position of other amino acids involved in the catalysis being also critically affected by the flap movement.
