Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In the brain, d -amino acid oxidase plays a key role in modulating the N-methyl- d -aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation state, catalyzing the stereospecific degradation of the coagonist d -serine. A relationship between d -serine signaling deregulation, NMDAR dysfunction, and CNS diseases is presumed. Notably, the R199W substitution in human DAAO (hDAAO) was associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and further coding substitutions, i.e., R199Q and W209R, were also deposited in the single nucleotide polymorphism database. Here, we investigated the biochemical properties of these different hDAAO variants. The W209R hDAAO variant shows an improved d -serine degradation ability (higher activity and affinity for the cofactor FAD) and produces a greater decrease in cellular d /( d + l ) serine ratio than the wild-type counterpart when expressed in U87 cells. The production of H 2 O 2 as result of excessive d -serine degradation by this hDAAO variant may represent the factor affecting cell viability after stable transfection. The R199W/Q substitution in hDAAO altered the protein conformation and enzymatic activity was lost under conditions resembling the cellular ones: this resulted in an abnormal increase in cellular d -serine levels. Altogether, these results indicate that substitutions that affect hDAAO functionality directly impact on d -serine cellular levels (at least in the model cell system used). The pathological effect of the expression of the R199W hDAAO, as observed in familial ALS, originates from both protein instability and a decrease in kinetic efficiency: the increase in synaptic d -serine may be mainly responsible for the neurotoxic effect. This information is expected to drive future targeted treatments.
