Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

DnaK Functions as a Central Hub in the E. coli Chaperone Network
Cellular chaperone networks prevent potentially toxic protein aggregation and ensure proteome integrity. Here, we used Escherichia coli as a model to understand the organization of these networks, focusing on the cooperation of the DnaK system with the ...

While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

Chaperonin and cochaperonin, represented by E. coli GroEL and GroES, are essential molecular chaperones for protein folding. The double-ring assembly of GroEL is required to function with GroES, and a single-ring GroEL variant GroELSR forms a stable ...

Alliinase: A Comprehensive Review of the Pivotal Enzyme in Garlic Chemistry and Its Applications
Garlic crude extract was purified to obtain alliinase, which catalyzes alliin hydrolysis to release allicin. The free and immobilized alliinase shows potential applications in food, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, health products, and biosensors. ABSTRACT Alliinase is a pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP)‐dependent lyase that serves as the cornerstone of the ...

Background Molecular chaperones appear to have been evolved to facilitate protein folding in the cell through entrapment of folding intermediates on the interior of a large cavity formed between GroEL and its co-chaperonin GroES.

Synergistic effects of microplastic and Vibrio harveyi co‐exposure on big‐belly seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis). Seahorses were exposed to microplastics (50 beads/L of 0.2 μm SMP and 1.0 μm LMP) and injected with V. harveyi (1 × 103 CFU/mL).

Functional significance of symmetrical versus asymmetrical GroEL-GroES chaperonin complexes
The Escherichia coli chaperonin GroEL and its regulator GroES are thought to mediate adenosine triphosphate-dependent protein folding as an asymmetrical complex, with substrate protein bound within the GroEL cylinder.
