OPN does not influence the muramidase and protease inhibitory functions of lysozyme and SLPI respectively.

, 2016
(A) Effect of OPN on muramidase activity of lysozyme. Lysozyme was pre-incubated with or without OPN at equimolar concentrations and fluorogenic substrate was added to the mixture and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The lysozyme activity was determined by the

Non‐Coding Transcripts From Diversified Members of IgLec Family Protect Antiviral Effectors From Viral miRNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The IgLec gene family generates both protein‐coding antiviral effectors and non‐coding transcripts. Upon viral infection, non‐coding transcripts are preferentially targeted by viral miR‐N48, thereby buffering protein‐coding isoforms from repression. Depletion of these decoy transcripts compromises antiviral defense, revealing a non‐coding RNA‐mediated ...

PrOMet: Accurate and Robust Metal‐Binding Site and Type Prediction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PrOMet is a two‐stage deep learning framework for jointly predicting metal‐binding sites and ion identities from protein structures. Surface candidate sites are first pruned, followed by refinement of the most probable sites and metal types. This hierarchical strategy enables robust and accurate metal prediction for cryo‐EM and AlphaFold‐derived ...

A Study on the Clinical Significance of Serum and Urinary Muramidase Activity in Leukemics

A study was made on serum and urinary muramidase in 56 patients with leukemia and other hematologic disorders. Serum and urinary muramidase levels prior to antileukemic therapy were elevated in monocytic leukemia, while not so increased in ...

The effect of aminoglycoside antibiotic therapy on the renal excretion of divalent cations, retinol-binding protein and muramidase [PDF]

There is currently no satisfactory method for predicting nephrotoxicity in patients receiving aminoglycoside antibiotics. Serum creatinine measurements, which estimate glomerular function, are an inappropriate index to use when the site of toxicity is ...

Stabilizing Functional Nucleic Acids for Real‐Sample Diagnostics

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Functional nucleic acids enable programmable real‐sample diagnostics, but often lose function in complex biological matrices. This review highlights four stabilization levers—chemical, topological, architectural, and microenvironment/interface engineering—that preserve aptamer and DNAzyme performance in saliva, serum, urine, and stool, reframing ...

Extending Small‐Molecule Aptamer Discovery Principles to Protein Targets: Selection and Characterization of Green Fluorescent Protein Aptamers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Protein‐binding aptamers remain poorly understood compared to their small‐molecule counterparts. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) variants as a tractable model system, we show how subtle changes in protein surface composition and divalent metal ions reshape aptamer selection, specificity, and binding.
