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]
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.

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]
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
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]
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.

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

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]
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.
