On the role of Cys150 in the mechanism of maleamate amidohydrolase (NicF)
The oxidative degradation of nicotinate (vitamin B3) to fumarate is considered a model system for the bacterial degradation of N‐heterocyclic compounds, yet only recently has the complete set of genes corresponding to the enzymes involved in this pathway been identified.

Non‐human primate models of Parkinson's disease: Decoding pathogenesis and advancing therapies
Parkinson's disease ranks as the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, and there is an urgent need for proper experimental models to enhance our understanding of this complex disease. Non‐human primates exhibit various similarities to humans, particularly in terms of motor skills, cognitive functions, and the complexity of their neural ...

Systematic Analysis of Gene Expression Differences between Left and Right Atria in Different Mouse Strains and in Human Atrial Tissue [PDF]
Background: Normal development of the atria requires left-right differentiation during embryonic development. Reduced expression of Pitx2c (paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2, isoform c), a key regulator of left-right asymmetry, has recently ...

Abstract Leaf rust (LR) and stripe rust (YR), which are caused by Puccinia triticina and Puccinia striiformis, respectively, are among the most devastating wheat rusts worldwide. These diseases can be managed by using genetically resistant cultivars, an economical and environmentally safer alternative to fungicides. Over 100 and 80 Lr and Yr resistance

Isolation and screening of l-asparaginase free of glutaminase and urease from fungal sp. [PDF]
l-Asparaginase is a chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), a malignant disorder in children. l-Asparaginase helps in removing acrylamide found in fried and baked foods that is carcinogenic in nature.

Transposon mutagenesis in a hyper-invasive clinical isolate of Campylobacter jejuni reveals a number of genes with potential roles in invasion [PDF]
Transposon mutagenesis has been applied to a hyper-invasive clinical isolate of Campylobacter jejuni, 01/51. A random transposon mutant library was screened in an in vitro assay of invasion and 26 mutants with a significant reduction in invasion were ...

The structure of the hexameric atrazine chlorohydrolase AtzA
Atrazine chlorohydrolase (AtzA) was discovered and purified in the early 1990s from soil that had been exposed to the widely used herbicide atrazine. It was subsequently found that this enzyme catalyzes the first and necessary step in the breakdown of ...
