Glycosylation Analysis and Protein Structure Determination of Murine Fetal Antigen 1 (mFA1) [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1997 By means of sequence analysis, murine fetal antigen 1 (mFAl) isolated from Mus musculus amniotic fluid was shown to be the circulating protein of the δ‐like protein, stromal‐cell‐derived protein 1 (SCP‐1) and preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref‐1) gene products. The protein contains 36 cysteine residues arranged in six epidermal‐growth‐factor‐like domains. The

Structural and functional studies of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbrial proteins
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017 Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses two forms of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. Each fimbria consists of five proteins; FimA-E and Mfa1-5. While the assembly of the type-1 fimbriae from Escherichia coli is well studied; the chaperone-usher pathway, very little ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Sexual reproduction of human fungal pathogens [PDF]
, 2014 We review here recent advances in our understanding of sexual reproduction in fungal pathogens that commonly infect humans, including Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans/gattii, and Aspergillus fumigatus. Where appropriate or relevant, we introduce

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2017 Fluoroacetate producing plants grow worldwide and it is believed they produce this toxic compound as a defence mechanism against grazing by herbivores. Ingestion by livestock often results in fatal poisonings, which causes significant economic problems ...
