Purification and characterization of chaperonins 60 and 10 from Methylobacillus glycogenes
Two proteins belonging to the group I chaperonin family were isolated from an obligate methanotroph, Methylobacillus glycogenes. The two proteins, one a GroEL homologue (cpn60: M. glycogenes 60 kDa chaperonin) and the other a GroES homologue (cpn10: M. glycogenes 10 kDa chaperonin), composed a heteropolymeric complex in the presence of ATP.

Taro raphide‐associated proteins: Allergens and crystal growth
Calcium oxalate raphide crystals are found in bundles in intravacuolar membrane chambers of specialized idioblasts cells of most plant families. Aroid raphides are proposed to cause acridity in crops such as taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott ...

Assessment of plant chaperonin-60 gene function in Escherichia coli
Brassica napus chaperonin-60 alpha and chaperonin-60 beta genes expressed separately and in combination produce three novel Escherichia coli strains: alpha, beta, and alpha beta. In beta and alpha beta cells, the plant gene products assemble efficiently into tetradecameric cpn60(14) species, including novel hybrids containing both bacterial and plant ...

Streptococcus suis Serotypes Characterized by Analysis of Chaperonin 60 Gene Sequences [PDF]
ABSTRACT Streptococcus suis is an important pathogen of swine which occasionally infects humans as well. There are 35 serotypes known for this organism, and it would be desirable to develop rapid methods methods to identify and differentiate the strains of this species.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

Mutation profile of BBS genes in patients with Bardet–Biedl syndrome: an Italian study
Background Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare inherited multisystemic disorder with autosomal recessive or complex digenic triallelic inheritance. There is currently no treatment for BBS, but some morbidities can be managed.

Microcystin-Bound Protein Patterns in Different Cultures of Microcystis aeruginosa and Field Samples
Micocystin (MC) exists in Microcystis cells in two different forms, free and protein-bound. We examined the dynamic change in extracellular free MCs, intracellular free MCs and protein-bound MCs in both batch cultures and semi-continuous cultures, using ...

Selection, phenotyping and identification of acid and hydrogen peroxide producing bacteria from vaginal samples of Canadian and East African women. [PDF]
The common but poorly understood condition known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases vulnerability to HIV infection and is associated with the absence of H(2)O(2)-producing Lactobacillus. Vaginal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce anti-HIV factors such
