Mechanism of strand displacement synthesis by DNA replicative polymerases [PDF]

, 2016
Replicative holoenzymes exhibit rapid and processive primer extension DNA synthesis, but inefficient strand displacement DNA synthesis. We investigated the bacteriophage T4 and T7 holoenzymes primer extension activity and strand displacement activity on ...

Characterization of glycoprotein gp43, the major laminin-binding protein of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas, 1995
We have demonstrated that laminin mediates the adhesion of P. brasiliensis to monolayers of epithelial cells through specific binding to the surface glycoprotein gp43. This binding seems to be related to the fungal pathogenesis. We now report the confirmation of these findings by scanning electron microscopy and show that some isolates that do not ...

Dendritic Cells Primed with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Peptide P10 Are Therapeutic in Immunosuppressed Mice with Paracoccidioidomycosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an endemic systemic mycosis in Latin America, with the highest prevalence in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Fungi of the Paracoccidioides genus are etiologic agents of the disease.

Open-source genomic analysis of Shiga-toxin–producing E. coli O104:H4 [PDF]

, 2011
An outbreak caused by Shiga-toxin–producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 occurred in Germany in May and June of 2011, with more than 3000 persons infected. Here, we report a cluster of cases associated with a single family and describe an open-source genomic

ΦCrAss001 represents the most abundant bacteriophage family in the human gut and infects Bacteroides intestinalis [PDF]

, 2018
peer-reviewedCrAssphages are an extensive and ubiquitous family of tailed bacteriophages, predicted to infect bacteria of the order Bacteroidales. Despite being found in ~50% of individuals and representing up to 90% of human gut viromes, members of this

Velocity and processivity of helicase unwinding of double-stranded nucleic acids

, 2005
Helicases are molecular motors which unwind double-stranded nucleic acids (dsNA) in cells. Many helicases move with directional bias on single-stranded (ss) nucleic acids, and couple their directional translocation to strand separation.

Identification and characterization of expressed retrotransposons in the genome of the Paracoccidioides species complex [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Species from the Paracoccidioides complex are thermally dimorphic fungi and the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, a deep fungal infection that is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America and represents the most important

Detection of gp43 and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 Ribosomal RNA Genes of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in Paraffin-embedded Tissue.

Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2001
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep mycosis caused by the thermo-dependent dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and is prevalent in Latin American countries. An increase in PCM has been reported in recent years and the disease is now recognized as one of the imported fungal infections in Japan.
