Advanced Resistance Studies Identify Two Discrete Mechanisms in Staphylococcus aureus to Overcome Antibacterial Compounds that Target Biotin Protein Ligase

Antibiotics, 2020
Biotin protein ligase (BPL) inhibitors are a novel class of antibacterial that target clinically important methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In S. aureus, BPL is a bifunctional protein responsible for enzymatic biotinylation of two

Construction of Orthogonal Modular Proteinaceous Nanovaccine Delivery Vectors Based on mSA-Biotin Binding

Nanomaterials, 2022
Proteinaceous nanovaccine delivery systems have significantly promoted the development of various high-efficiency vaccines. However, the widely used method of coupling the expression of scaffolds and antigens may result in their structural interference ...

A Stable Biotin-Streptavidin Surface Enables Multiplex, Label-Free Protein Detection by Aptamer and Aptamer-Protein Arrays Using Arrayed Imaging Reflectometry

Sensors, 2020
While label-free multiplex sensor technology enables “mixing and matching” of different capture molecules in principle, in practice this has been rarely (if ever) demonstrated. To fill this gap, we developed protocols for the preparation of mixed aptamer-

Synthesis and Antitumor Evaluation of Biotin-SN38-Valproic Acid Conjugates

Molecules, 2023
Despite the strong anticancer activity of SN38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin), the severe side effects and loss of anticancer activity caused by the lack of selectivity to cancer cells and hydrolysis of ring E prevent its clinical application.

Biotin Homeostasis and Human Disorders: Recent Findings and Perspectives

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Biotin (vitamin B7, or vitamin H) is a water-soluble B-vitamin that functions as a cofactor for carboxylases, i.e., enzymes involved in the cellular metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids and in gluconeogenesis; moreover, as reported, biotin may be ...

Biotin dependency due to a defect in biotin transport [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2002
We describe a 3-year-old boy with biotin dependency not caused by biotinidase, holocarboxylase synthetase, or nutritional biotin deficiency. We sought to define the mechanism of his biotin dependency. The child became acutely encephalopathic at age 18 months. Urinary organic acids indicated deficiency of several biotin-dependent carboxylases.
