Proteases that degrade the biofilm matrix

open access: yesZdorovʹe Rebenka, 2020
Biofilms protect bacteria from the action of antibacterial drugs and are one of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of infections. Destruction of the bacterial biofilm matrix leads to the release of bacteria and they again become vulnerable to ...

Effect of deoxyribonuclease-deficiency on myeloid cells under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In healthy and diseased individuals, endogenous nucleic acids are present in various forms and need to be processed and cleared. Failed clearance of DNA is associated with an autoimmune disease termed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which is ...

Cell death upon epigenetic genome methylation: a novel function of methyl-specific deoxyribonucleases

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2008
BackgroundAlteration in epigenetic methylation can affect gene expression and other processes. In Prokaryota, DNA methyltransferase genes frequently move between genomes and present a potential threat.

The Deoxyribonucleases of Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1966
Abstract The increase in deoxyribonuclease activity after infection of Escherichia coli with bacteriophage T5 has been shown to be due to the synthesis of a DNase different from those known to be present in the host cell. During the course of T5 infection the enzyme appears at about the same time as the phage-induced deoxycytidylate kinase and DNA ...

Tentacle Transcriptome and Venom Proteome of the Pacific Sea Nettle, Chrysaora fuscescens (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Jellyfish venoms are rich sources of toxins designed to capture prey or deter predators, but they can also elicit harmful effects in humans. In this study, an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify putative toxins and their

Penicillin tolerance among Beta-hemolytic streptococci and production of the group carbohydrates, hemolysins, hyaluronidases and deoxyribonucleases

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1995
Penicillin tolerance among 67 strains of beta-hemolytic streptococci was examined by determining the ratio of the minimal bactericidal concentration to the minimal inhibitory concentration as 32 or greater.

The inhibition of deoxyribonuclease I by hydroxybiphenyls [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis, 1971
Abstract DNA extracted with certain commercial brands of phenol is resistant to hydrolysis by the endonuclease deoxyribonuclease I, while DNA extracted with other brands, or prepared by NaCl extraction, is susceptible to hydrolysis. The agent responsible for inhibition has been shown to be an oxidation product produced in some phenols.

DEOXYRIBONUCLEASE ACTIVITY IN SEMEN [PDF]

open access: yesReproduction, 1968
The methyl green assay method has been used to determine the activity of DNase I and DNase II in ram, bull, human, dog and rabbit seminal plasma. The activity of DNase II was higher except in the ram. The DNase I activity of ram seminal plasma was inhibited by low concentrations of citrate, zinc and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ; this detergent also ...

Approaches to Dispersing Medical Biofilms

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2017
Biofilm-associated infections pose a complex problem to the medical community, in that residence within the protection of a biofilm affords pathogens greatly increased tolerances to antibiotics and antimicrobials, as well as protection from the host ...

A Sub-cellular Localization of the Gene Product of the DNase-1 Locus in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
A study was undertaken to determine the subcellular location of DNase-I, a major acid deoxyribonuclease in Drosophila melanogaster. Embryonic tissue used in these experiments was derived from a wild type strain and from a strain homozygous at the DNase-l
