The AgI/II Family Adhesin AspA Is Required for Respiratory Infection by Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) is a human pathogen that causes pharyngitis and invasive diseases such as toxic shock syndrome and sepsis. The upper respiratory tract is the primary reservoir from which GAS can infect new hosts and cause disease.

IScience, 2022 Summary: Canavan disease (CD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks effective therapy. Because CD is caused by mutations of the aspartoacylase (ASPA) gene, we introduced the wild-type (WT) ASPA gene into patient iPSCs through lentiviral ...

Retracing the path of evolution: polymorphisms of aspA codon 363 shape the fitness of Yersinia pestis [PDF]
Emerging Microbes and InfectionsYersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, is a genetically monomorphic pathogen. By screening 1085 published Y. pestis genomes, we identified an unusual mutation hotspot within codon 363 of the aspartate ammonia-lyase gene aspA with at least six ...

Cloning of the Aspartase Gene (aspA) of Escherichia coli [PDF]
Microbiology (United Kingdom), 1984 The aspartase gene (aspA) of Escherichia coli has been isolated in two plasmids, pGS73 and pGS94, which contain segments of bacterial DNA (12.5 and 2.8 kb, respectively) inserted into the tet gene of the vector pBR322. The plasmids were constructed by sequential sub-cloning from a larger ColE1-frd+ hybrid plasmid.

Genomics, 1994 Canavan disease, or spongy degeneration of the brain, is a severe leukodystrophy caused by the deficiency of aspartoacylase (ASPA). Recently, a missense mutation was identified in human ASPA coding sequence from patients with Canavan disease. The human ASPA gene has been cloned and found to span 29 kb of the genome. Human aspartoacylase is coded by six

Aspartoacylase-lacZ knockin mice: an engineered model of Canavan disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Canavan Disease (CD) is a recessive leukodystrophy caused by loss of function mutations in the gene encoding aspartoacylase (ASPA), an oligodendrocyte-enriched enzyme that hydrolyses N-acetylaspartate (NAA) to acetate and aspartate.
