Involvement of a putative acyltransferase gene in sporangium formation in Actinoplanes missouriensis
The actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis forms branched substrate mycelia during vegetative growth and produces terminal sporangia, each of which contains a few hundred spherical flagellated spores, from the substrate mycelia through short ...

Acylation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate by cell fractions of rat liver
The esterification of sn-glycerol 3-(dihydrogen phosphate) with long-chain fatty acids by rat liver microsomal preparations has been studied. A newly modified spectrophotometric assay for glycerolphosphate acyltransferase (GP-cyltransferase) compared ...

Multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, with no current licensed vaccines available. This study used a mutant E. coli strain expressing exogenous polysaccharides (from K. pneumoniae) to establish glycoengineered generalized modules for membrane antigens (geGMMA) vaccine platform, which demonstrated

Production of human recombinant proapolipoprotein A-I in Escherichia coli: purification and biochemical characterization [PDF]
A human liver cDNA library was used to isolate a clone coding for apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I). The clone carries the sequence for the prepeptide (18 amino acids), the propeptide (6 amino acids), and the mature protein (243 amino acids).

Sodium selenite or vitamin E supplementation enhances antioxidant defenses in mouse mammary glands, reducing oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and iron accumulation. This boosts GPX4 activity, inhibits PTGS2, and activates mTORC1, improving milk fat droplet formation and protein synthesis, with the combined treatment showing the greatest benefit ...
