Probing host pathogen cross-talk by transcriptional profiling of both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and infected human dendritic cells and macrophages [PDF]
This study provides the proof of principle that probing the host and the microbe transcriptomes simultaneously is a valuable means to accessing unique information on host pathogen interactions.

Characterization of three pyranose dehydrogenase isoforms from the litter-decomposing basidiomycete Leucoagaricus meleagris (syn. Agaricus meleagris) [PDF]
Nicht verfügbarMultigenicity is commonly found in fungal enzyme systems, with the purpose of functional compensation upon deficiency of one of its members or leading to enzyme isoforms with new functionalities through gene diversification. Three genes of

A study of hierarchical and flat classification of proteins [PDF]
Automatic classification of proteins using machine learning is an important problem that has received significant attention in the literature. One feature of this problem is that expert-defined hierarchies of protein classes exist and can potentially be ...

Differential expression and co-expression gene networks reveal candidate biomarkers of boar taint in non-castrated pigs [PDF]
Boar taint (BT) is an offensive odour or taste observed in pork from a proportion of non-castrated male pigs. Surgical castration is effective in avoiding BT, but animal welfare issues have created an incentive for alternatives such as genomic selection.

Dramatic down-regulation of oxidoreductases in human hepatocellular carcinoma hepG2 cells: proteomics and gene ontology unveiling new frontiers in cancer enzymology [PDF]
Background Oxidoreductases are enzymes that catalyze many redox reactions in normal and neoplastic cells. Their actions include catalysis of the transformation of free, neutral oxygen gas into oxygen free radicals, superoxide, hydroperoxide, singlet ...

Designing organometallic compounds for catalysis and therapy [PDF]
Bioorganometallic chemistry is a rapidly developing area of research. In recent years organometallic compounds have provided a rich platform for the design of effective catalysts, e.g. for olefin metathesis and transfer hydrogenation.

Associated bacteria affect sexual reproduction by altering gene expression and metabolic processes in a biofilm inhabiting diatom [PDF]
Diatoms are unicellular algae with a fundamental role in global biogeochemical cycles as major primary producers at the base of aquatic food webs. In recent years, chemical communication between diatoms and associated bacteria has emerged as a key factor

Mining the Flavoproteome of Brucella ovis, the Brucellosis causing agent in Ovis aries [PDF]
Flavoproteins are a diverse class of proteins that are mostly enzymes and contain as cofactors flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and/or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which enable them to participate in a wide range of physiological reactions.

Thioredoxin reductase as a target enzyme for electrophilic anticancer drugs [PDF]
Induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a common attribute of most cancer cells. One strategy for cancer cells to maneuver the increased and potentially toxic levels of ROS is to induce the expression of cellular antioxidants and ...
