Antigenicity of a viral peptide displayed on β-galactosidase fusion proteins is influenced by the presence of the homologous partner protein [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1996 Several beta-galactosidase fusion proteins have been constructed containing the entire VP1 protein from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) [Corchero et al. (1996) J. Biotechnol. in press]. The antigenicity of the major immunodominant site A (13 amino acids in length) within the VP1 protein has been studied in competitive ELISA using a panel of seven ...

Insertion of a 27 amino acid viral peptide in different zones ofEscherichia coliβ-galactosidase: Effects on the enzyme activity [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994 Seven internal, putatively exposed regions of Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase have been explored regarding their tolerance to insertions of large foreign peptides. Small sequence modifications, including amino acid substitutions and small deletions, were introduced into the lacZ gene to generate unique BamHI restriction sites. By using these mutant

A novel double GLA gene mutation of W24R and N419D in a patient with cardiac Fabry disease
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2023 Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by insufficient activity of α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) encoded by GLA. The enzymatic defect causes the progressive accumulation of sphingolipids in various tissues and body fluids ...

The validation of pharmacogenetics for the identification of Fabry patients to be treated with migalastat [PDF]
, 2017 PURPOSE: Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene. Migalastat, a pharmacological chaperone, binds to specific mutant forms of α-galactosidase A to restore lysosomal activity.
