Functional assays testing pathogenicity of 14 cystathionine-beta synthase mutations [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2006
In this study, 14 CBS alleles from homocystinuric patients were expressed heterologously in E. coli and their enzyme activities were assayed in vitro. Additionally, mutant CBS proteins were visualized by Western blot from denaturing and non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels.

Advanced extracellular vesicle immunotherapy

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
A diagrammatic depiction of the therapeutic applicability of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in immunotherapy. This review explores the dual roles of tumor‐derived and immune cell‐derived EVs in cancer immunotherapy, discusses recent progress in EV engineering that improve their clinical utility, and evaluates their potential to augment existing ...

Niveles de homocisteína y polimorfismos de los genes de la MTHFR y la CBS en pacientes colombianos con trombosis venosa superficial y profunda

open access: yesBiomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2010
Introducción. Se produce trombosis cuando en el sistema hemostático se desequilibran los mecanismos procoagulantes, anticoagulantes y fibrinolíticos, y se forman coágulos dentro de los vasos sanguíneos.

Leishmania donovani's protein tyrosine phosphatases interact with DUF21 and respond to environmental magnesium

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

The Dual Immunoregulatory Role of CREB3L1 Underlying Latent and Severe Tuberculosis Clinical Manifestation

open access: yesImmunology, EarlyView.
RNA‐seq of lungs and livers from Mycobacterium tuberculosis‐infected mice with distinct disease outcomes revealed organ‐specific responses driven by differences in immune activity and bacterial burden. Meta‐analysis identified orthologous genes shared with human latent TB and mouse liver, with Creb3l1, Myo7b, Cyyr1 and Cbs differentially expressed and ...

H2S biosynthesis and catabolism: new insights from molecular studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has profound biological effects within living organisms and is now increasingly being considered alongside other gaseous signalling molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Genetic studies of the cystathionine beta‐synthase gene and myelomeningocele [PDF]

open access: yesBirth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUND: Among infants born with spina bifida, the most common defect is myelomeningocele (MM). The prevention of MM by maternal periconceptional folic acid (FA) supplementation has been studied extensively. The protective effect provided by FA suggests that the genes involved in folate metabolism, such as cystathionine beta‐synthase (CBS ...

OsPT4 Facilitates Selenomethionine Transport and Biosynthesis to Enhance Seed Accumulation in Rice: Molecular Mechanisms and Biotechnological Potential

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient for humans, with important functions for health and anti‐cancer properties. Organic Se shows higher antioxidant activity and much lower toxicity compared to inorganic Se, making it safer for use. Selenomethionine (SeMet) is one of the primary forms of organic Se.

Ergothioneine Biosynthesis and Functionality in the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ergothioneine (EGT; 2-mercaptohistidine trimethylbetaine) is a trimethylated and sulphurised histidine derivative which exhibits antioxidant properties. Here we report that deletion of Aspergillus fumigatus egtA (AFUA_2G15650), which encodes a trimodular

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...
