The Drosophila DIAP1 protein is required to prevent accumulation of a continuously generated, processed form of the apical caspase DRONC [PDF]
Although loss of the inhibitor of apoptosis (LAP) protein DIAP1 has been shown to result in caspase activation and spontaneous cell death in Drosophila cells and embryos, the point at which DIAP1 normally functions to inhibit caspase activation is ...

Baculovirus and Insect Cell Gene Expression: Review of Baculovirus Biotechnology [PDF]
The BEVS continues to evolve as a powerful, flexible tool for molecular biology, protein function, and biomedical research. Future developments offer the promise of replacement of hazardous chemical insecticides with environmentally safe biopesticides, construction of baculovirus vectors which encode genes for specific post-translational modifications,

Abstract As adeno‐associated viral vectors (AAV) continue to advance through the clinical pipeline, effective downstream purification strategies must be developed to ensure bulk drug purity and safety. AAV are produced within mammalian cells, bringing forth risks associated with viral contamination.

Anti-tumor activity of Escherichia coli Shiga toxin A subunit delivered by SF9 insect cells
Cancer remains a major health problem around the world. A Shiga toxin is a bacterial toxin often produced by Shigella dysenteriae and Escherichia coli. A subunit of the Shiga toxin (StxA) is a cytotoxic agent which could be used to induce death in cancer

Expression of an innate immune element (mouse hepcidin-1) in baculovirus expression system and the comparison of its function with synthetic human hepcidin-25 [PDF]
Hepcidin is an innate immune element which decreases the iron absorption from diet and iron releasing from macrophage cell. In contrast to the chemical iron chelators, there has been limited effort applied to the specific use of hepcidin as a new drug ...

Gad65 is recognized by t-cells, but not by antibodies from nod-mice [PDF]
Since the 64kDa-protein glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is one of the major autoantigens in T-cell mediated Type 1 diabetes, its relevance as a T-cell antigen needs to be clarified. After isolation of splenic T-cells from non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice,

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...
