Dysregulated DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of Fabry disease
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2022 Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A and subsequent accumulation of glycosphingolipids with terminal α-D-galactosyl residues.

Expression of β-galactosidase inRhizobium japonicum [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1985 The plasmid pGC91.14 was used to introduce via conjugation the Escherichia coli lac operon into fast-growing and slow-growing strains of Rhizobium japonicum. Exconjugants now expressed higher levels of β-galactosidase activity which was still inducible by isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside (IPTG).

Transcriptional analysis of the β-galactosidase gene (pbg) inClostridium perfringens [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995 The mode of expression of the beta-galactosidase gene (pbg) of Clostridium perfringens was examined. The pbg gene was transcribed on a single 3.7-kb mRNA. The transcript contained a message for ORF54, located upstream of the pbg gene in the chromosome, indicating that ORF54 and the pbg gene comprise one operon (pbg operon). Expression of the pbg operon

Anaerobic expression of thegyrAgene demonstrated by β-galactosidase activity ingyrA::Mu-lacfusion derivatives ofEscherichia coli [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1988 E. coli C600Δ lac was infected with a Mu- lac defective phage. Lysogens resistant to ampicillin (25 µg/ml) and nalidixic acid (20 µg/ml) were unable to grow anaerobically and insensitive to nalidixic acid (150 µg/ml), indicating formation of gyrA ::Mu- lac fusions.

Purification and molecular properties of an α-galactosidase synthesized and secreted byAspergillus nidulans [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1993 alpha-Galactosidases from mycelial extract and culture filtrate of Aspergillus nidulans have been purified to homogeneity and utilised to obtain polyclonal antibodies anti-alpha-galactosidase. The enzymatic characteristics and the cross reactivity of the antibodies suggest that alpha-galactosidases isolated from the two sources were the same enzyme ...

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2012 Background α-galactosidase has been widely used in animal husbandry to reduce anti-nutritional factors (such as α-galactoside) in feed. Intestine-specific and substrate inducible expression of α-galactosidase would be highly beneficial for transgenic ...

Experimental conditions may affect reproducibility of the beta-galactosidase assay [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 Several experimental conditions and parameters contributing to the determination of beta-galactosidase activity, as proposed in Miller's assay, were studied. Use of the absorbance correction factor and the nature and concentration of permeabilizing agents were taken into account as different experimental conditions.

Cloning of the phospho-β-galactosidase gene inEscherichia colifrom lactose-negative mutants ofStreptococcus mutansisolated following random mutagenesis with plasmid pVA891 clone banks [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 In order to mutagenize Streptococcus mutans a marker rescue plasmid, pVA891, was employed. The plasmid was ligated with Sau3AI digested chromosomal DNA fragments from S. mutans GS-5IS3 and the resultant plasmids were amplified in Escherichia coli.

Characterization and molecular cloning of a heterodimeric β-galactosidase from the probiotic strainLactobacillus acidophilusR22 [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007 Beta-galactosidase from the probiotic strain Lactobacillus acidophilus R22 was purified to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulphate fractionation, hydrophobic interaction, and affinity chromatography. The enzyme is a heterodimer consisting of two subunits of 35 and 72 kDa, as determined by gel electrophoresis.

α-Galactosidase A fromPseudomonas fluorescenssubsp.cellulosa: cloning, high level expression and its role in galactomannan hydrolysis [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 A library of Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa genomic DNA, constructed in lambda ZAPII, was screened for alpha-D-galactosidase activity. The DNA inserts from six galactosidase-positive clones were rescued into plasmids. Restriction digestion and Southern analysis revealed that each of the plasmids contained a common DNA sequence.
