Biochemical characteristics of extracts from proallergenic microfungi Erysiphe Palczewskii and Erysiphe convolvuli [PDF]
Background Phytopathogenic microfungi Erysiphe palczewskii and Erysiphe convolvuli, are ectoparasites causing powdery mildew in common plants. Fungi often produce immunogenic factors triggering allergic reactions, with airborne protein allergens playing ...

Nucleoside Diphosphate-Sugar 4-Epimerases [PDF]
Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-arabinose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.5) has been purified at least 20-fold from wheat germ by MnCl(2) treatment, (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation, dialysis, and Sephadex and diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography. The enzyme has no action on UDP-d-glucose, UDP-d-glucuronic acid, or TDP-d-glucose. The pH optimum is 8.0.

Dictyostelium discoideum nucleoside diphosphate kinase C plays a negative regulatory role in phagocytosis, macropinocytosis and exocytosis. [PDF]
Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) are ubiquitous phosphotransfer enzymes responsible for producing most of the nucleoside triphosphates except for ATP.

Two RmlC homologs catalyze dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose epimerization in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
l-Rhamnose is an important monosaccharide both as nutrient source and as building block in prokaryotic glycoproteins and glycolipids. Generation of those composite molecules requires activated precursors being provided e. g.

Gene sets for utilization of primary and secondary nutrition supplies in the distal gut of endangered Iberian lynx. [PDF]
Recent studies have indicated the existence of an extensive trans-genomic trans-mural co-metabolism between gut microbes and animal hosts that is diet-, host phylogeny- and provenance-influenced.

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

Nucleoside Diphosphate Sugar Analogues that Target Glycosyltransferases
AbstractGlycosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes that transfer carbohydrates to a range of substrates and they play a fundamental role in the recognition processes associated with several diseases. The design of glycomimetics of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) sugars—the natural substrates that act as inhibitors or modulators of GTs—is not only necessary ...

Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...
