Mycobacterial nucleoside diphosphate kinase blocks phagosome maturation in murine RAW 264.7 macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Microorganisms capable of surviving within macrophages are rare, but represent very successful pathogens. One of them is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) whose resistance to early mechanisms of macrophage killing and failure of its phagosomes to fuse ...

Nucleoside diphosphate kinase from Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1995
Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase from Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity and was crystallized. Gel filtration analysis of the purified enzyme indicated that it forms a tetramer. The enzyme was phosphorylated with [gamma-32P]ATP, and the pH stability profile of the phosphoenzyme indicated that two different amino acid residues were ...

Real-Time Bioluminometric Method for Detection of Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase Activity

open access: yesBioTechniques, 1999
A real-time, simple and sensitive method for detection of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase activity has been developed. The assay is based on detection of ATP, generated in the NDP kinase reaction between a nucleoside triphosphate and adenosine ...

Challenges of drug resistance in the management of pancreatic cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The current treatment of choice for metastatic pancreatic cancer involves single agent gemcitabine or combination of gemcitabine with capecitabine and erlotinib (tyrosine kinase inhibitor).

Structure, Folding and Stability of Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinases [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPK) are oligomeric proteins involved in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates. Their tridimensional structure has been solved by X-ray crystallography and shows that individual subunits present a conserved ferredoxin fold of about 140 residues in prokaryotes, archaea, eukaryotes and viruses.

Phosphoproteins and protein-kinase activity in isolated envelopes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
A protein kinase was found in envelope membranes of purified pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. Separation of the two envelope membranes showed that most of the enzyme activity was localized in the outer envelope.

Bulged and Canonical G-Quadruplex Conformations Determine NDPK Binding Specificity

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Guanine-rich DNA strands can adopt tertiary structures known as G-quadruplexes (G4s) that form when Hoogsteen base-paired guanines assemble as planar stacks, stabilized by a central cation like K+.

Involvement of NDPK-B in Glucose Metabolism-Mediated Endothelial Damage via Activation of the Hexosamine Biosynthesis Pathway and Suppression of O-GlcNAcase Activity

open access: yesCells, 2020
Our previous studies identified that retinal endothelial damage caused by hyperglycemia or nucleoside diphosphate kinase-B (NDPK-B) deficiency is linked to elevation of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and the activation of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis nucleoside diphosphate kinase inactivates small GTPases leading to evasion of innate immunity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
Defining the mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) persistence in the host macrophage and identifying mycobacterial factors responsible for it are keys to better understand tuberculosis pathogenesis.

Mechanism study of alachlor biodegradation by Paecilomycesmarquandii with proteomic and metabolomic methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Alachlor is an herbicide that is widely used worldwide to protect plant crops against broadleaf weedsand annual grasses. However, due to its endocrine-disrupting activity, its application had been bannedin the European Union.
