Molecular characterization of several Wx alleles in durum wheat
The Wx gene, which encodes waxy proteins, is the sole gene responsible for amylose synthesis in the wheat seed endosperm. In this study, we characterized, at the molecular level, several Wx alleles in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp.

Urine Specimens from Pregnant and Nonpregnant Women Inhibitory to Amplification of \u3cem\u3eChlamydia trachomatis\u3c/em\u3e Nucleic Acid by PCR, Ligase Chain Reaction, and Transcription-Mediated Amplification: Identification of Urinary Substances Associated with Inhibition and Removal of Inhibitory Activity [PDF]
The presence of endogenous amplification inhibitors in urine may produce false-negative results for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis nucleic acids by tests such as PCR, ligase chain reaction (LCR), and transcription-mediated amplification (TMA ...

Colony PCR Amplification of Actinomycete DNA
This report describes colony PCR amplification of high G+C content DNA from a range of actinomycete genera. This method describes the use of a non-ionic surfactant to efficiently promote lysis of the actinomycete cell walls and enhance DNA polymerase activity. This approach allows the rapid identification of different genera by the amplification of 16S

Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Human Cytomegalovirus: detection of congenital and perinatal infection in Argentina [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most commonly found agents of congenital infections. Primary maternal infection is associated with risk of symptomatic congenital diseases, and high morbidity is frequently associated with very low ...

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...
