To investigate the effects of transgenic rice seeds expressing the altered peptide ligand (APL) of human glucose-6-phosphate-isomerase (hGPI325-339) in mice model of GPI-induced arthritis (GIA).We generated transgenic rice expressing T-cell epitope of hGPI325-339 and APL12 contained in the seed endosperm.

Allozymes of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase differentially modulate pentose-shunt metabolism in the sea anemone Metridium senile. [PDF]
We tested the hypothesis that kinetic differences among allelic variants of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI; D-glucose-6-phosphate ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.9) from the sea anemone Metridium senile differentially modulate glucose metabolism at the ...

Activation of Invariant NKT cells with glycolipid ligand α-galactosylceramide ameliorates glucose-6-phosphate isomerase peptide-induced arthritis. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells regulate collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) when activated by their potent glycolipid ligand, alpha-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer). Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI)-induced arthritis is a closer model of

Effects of Macromolecular Crowding on the Refolding of Glucose- 6-phosphate Dehydrogenase and Protein Disulfide Isomerase [PDF]
The effects of polysaccharide, polyethylene glycol, and protein-crowding agents on the refolding of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and protein disulfide isomerase have been examined. By increasing concentration during refolding, the reactivation yields of the two proteins decrease with the formation of soluble aggregates.

Abstract When presented with glucose, an Escherichia coli mutant lacking both phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase accumulated, internally, high concentrations (approximately 50 mm) of glucose 6-phosphate. It also accumulated glucose in polysaccharide form. Other metabolism of glucose, if any, was very restricted.

Altered peptide ligands inhibit arthritis induced by glucose-6-phosphate isomerase peptide [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Immunosuppressants, including anti-TNFα antibodies, have remarkable effects in rheumatoid arthritis; however, they increase infectious events. The present study was designed to examine the effects and immunological change of action of altered peptide ligands (APLs) on glucose-6 ...
