Mechanistic Insight into the Enzymatic Reduction of Truncated Hemoglobin N of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: role of the CD loop and pre-A Motif in electron cycling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: The HbN of Mycobacterium tuberculosis carries a potent nitric-oxide dioxygenase activity despite lacking a reductase domain. Results: The NADH-ferredoxin reductase system acts as an efficient partner for the reduction of HbN.

Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Engineering Globin Gene Expression [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Therapy - Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and thalassemia, are among the most common inherited genetic diseases worldwide. Due to the relative ease of isolating and genetically modifying hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, recent gene editing and gene therapy strategies have progressed to clinical trials with promising outcomes; however ...

Enhancer‐dependent gene regulation in space, time, and malignancies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Control of cell‐type‐specific gene activation requires the coordinated activity of distal regulatory elements, including enhancers, whose inputs must be temporally integrated. Dysregulation of this regulatory capacity, such as aberrant usage of enhancers, can result in malignant transformation of cells.

A pH Dependant Switch in DHP Oxidation Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) is a multifunctional enzyme found in Amphitrite ornata, a sediment-dwelling marine worm. This enzyme possess the structure of a traditional hemoglobin enzyme and serves as the primary oxygen carrier in A.

Effect of hypoxia on lung gene expression and proteomic profile: insights into the pulmonary surfactant response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Exposure of lung to hypoxia has been previously reported to be associated with significant alterations in the protein content of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung tissue.

Quantitation of human gamma globin genes and gamma globin mRNA with purified gamma globin complementary DNA. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 1976
Complementary DNA (cDNA) specific for gamma-globin nucleotide sequences has been prepared by hybridizing total cDNA made from cord blood messenger RNA (mRNA) as template to an excess of normal adult human globin mRNA and recovering the single-stranded cDNA from hydroxylapatite.

Improved cervical screening using HPV type restriction and cycle threshold limit setting with the AmpFire assay: A prospective screening cohort of women with and without HIV in Botswana

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of HPV type restriction and cycle threshold (Ct)‐limit setting to optimize detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) with primary HPV testing. Methods Baseline cervical screening at time of entry into a prospective longitudinal cohort of women with and without HIV was ...

The diversity of globin‐coupled sensors [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2003
The recently discovered globin‐coupled sensors (GCSs) are heme‐containing two‐domain transducers distinct from the PAS domain superfamily. We have identified an additional 22 GCSs with varying multi‐domain C‐terminal transmitters through a search of the complete and incomplete microbial genome datasets.
