Transdifferentiation of α-1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout pig bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells into pancreatic -like cells by microenvironment modulation [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020
Objective To evaluate the pancreatic differentiation potential of α-1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout (GalTKO) pig-derived bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) using epigenetic modifiers with different pancreatic induction media. Methods

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of 5′-O-methacryloylcytidine Using the Immobilized Lipase Novozym 435

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Nucleobase building blocks have been demonstrated to be strong candidates when it comes to DNA/RNA-like materials by benefiting from hydrogen bond interactions as physical properties. Modifying at the 5′ position is the simplest way to develop nucleobase-

The Effect of E. coli Uridine-Cytidine Kinase Gene Deletion on Cytidine Synthesis and Transcriptome Analysis

open access: yesFermentation, 2022
Cytidine is an antiviral and anticancer drug intermediate, its primary method of manufacture being fermentation. Uridine-cytidine kinase (UCK) catalyzes the reverse process of phosphorylation of cytidine to produce cytidylic acid, which influences ...

Efficient deamination of 5-methylcytidine and 5-substituted cytidine residues in DNA by human APOBEC3A cytidine deaminase. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Deamination of 5-methylcytidine (5MeC) in DNA results in a G:T mismatch unlike cytidine (C) deamination which gives rise to a G:U pair. Deamination of C was generally considered to arise spontaneously.

Partial purification of cytidine deaminase from protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]

open access: yesKirkuk Journal of Science, 2015
Cytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.5) has been partially purified from protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus by gel filteration chromatography using Sephadex G200 .The molecular weight of the enzyme determined by gel filteration was about 82000 dalton with ...

Natural variation in Vif: differential impact on APOBEC3G/3F and a potential role in HIV-1 diversification. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2005
The HIV-1 Vif protein counteracts the antiviral activity exhibited by the host cytidine deaminases APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F. Here, we show that defective vif alleles can readily be found in HIV-1 isolates and infected patients. Single residue changes in the

APOBEC3B drives PKR-mediated translation shutdown and protects stress granules in response to viral infection

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
APOBEC’s are a family of cytidine deaminases that induce mutations in viruses to inhibit their replication and maintain cell integrity. Here, Manjunath et al show that APOBEC3B also inhibits viral replication by stimulating the innate immune sensor ...

Proof-of-principle studies on a strategy to enhance nucleotide imbalance specifically in cancer cells

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2022
Highly specific and potent inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), an essential enzyme of the de novo pyrimidine ribonucleotide synthesis pathway, are in clinical trials for autoimmune diseases, viral infections and cancer.

Indispensable residue for uridine binding in the uridine-cytidine kinase family

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017
Uridine-cytidine kinase (UCK), including human UCK2, are a family of enzymes that generally phosphorylate both uridine and cytidine. However, UCK of Thermus thermophilus HB8 (ttCK) phosphorylates only cytidine.
