Genetic Impacts on the Structure and Mechanics of Cellulose Made by Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A genetic mutation in a protease of a cellulose‐overproducing evolved bacterium significantly affects the proteome, structure, and mechanical properties of bio‐fabricated cellulose pellicles. By overexpressing synthase proteins that build the cellulose‐forming biological machinery of the cell, the evolved bacterium generates dense, stiff, and strong ...

The structure of a purple acid phosphatase involved in plant growth and pathogen defence exhibits a novel immunoglobulin-like fold

IUCrJ, 2014
Phosphatases function in the production, transport and recycling of inorganic phosphorus, which is crucial for cellular metabolism and bioenergetics, as well as in bacterial killing, since they are able to generate reactive oxygen species via Fenton ...

Case Report: Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy Type 20 (HLD20) With Novel CNP Gene Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This case report describes a child with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 20 (HLD20), a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by impaired myelin formation. The patient presented with multiple neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including delayed motor milestones, seizures, and abnormal facial features.

Studies on Phosphodiesterase

Proceedings of the Japanese Histochemical Association, 1961
Phosphatase activity which was extracted from human intestinal mucous membrane was subsected to paper chromatography and paper elecrophoresis, using as substrate naphthyl phosphate and di-naphthyl phosphate.Phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase activities were located in the same position on the chromatogram. A direct developing method was employed

Mammalian Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterases [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2007
Bacterial glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases (GP-PDEs), GlpQ and UgpQ, are well-characterized periplasmic and cytosolic proteins that play critical roles in the hydrolysis of deacylated glycerophospholipids to glycerol phosphate and alcohol, which are utilized as major sources of carbon and phosphate.

A potential strategy for improving offspring behavior in maternal immune activation: Amantadine‐mediated suppression of neuroinflammation

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Amantadine (AMA) regulates neurocyte apoptosis and inhibits neurocyte inflammation to prevent maternal immune activation (MIA) from affecting offspring behavior. Abstract Background Maternal viral infection during pregnancy can lead to maternal immune activation (MIA), increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring.

Correlates of Plasma NT‐proBNP/Cyclic GMP Ratio in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: An Analysis of the RELAX Trial

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Phosphodiesterases degrade cyclic GMP (cGMP), the second messenger that mediates the cardioprotective effects of natriuretic peptides. High natriuretic peptide/cGMP ratio may reflect, in part, phosphodiesterase activity.

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical, and genetic disease mechanisms with a resulting emphasis on ...
