HMOX1 gene promoter alleles and high HO-1 levels are associated with severe malaria in Gambian children. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an essential enzyme induced by heme and multiple stimuli associated with critical illness. In humans, polymorphisms in the HMOX1 gene promoter may influence the magnitude of HO-1 expression.

Identification of a differentially expressed gene, ACL, between Meishan × Large White and Large White × Meishan F1 hybrids and their parents

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2008
ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), one of the lipogenic enzymes, catalyses the formation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) involved in the synthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. In pig, very little is known about the ACL gene.

The question is not whether to promote or not to promote, but rather when to promote

open access: yesSouth African Theatre Journal, 2012
Abstract The Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK) is one of South Africa's largest and most popular arts festivals. The success of the festival is dependent on the number of tickets sold. Therefore, in order to ensure an increase in ticket sales, the festival organisers/marketers need to know how long before the event visitors decide to attend the

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

DELETIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE HUMAN RENIN PROMOTER: TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATION BY THE SV40 ENHANCER ENABLES IDENTIFICATION OF PROMOTER REGULATORY ELEMENTS IN NON-RENIN-EXPRESSING CELLS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Identification of regulatory elements in the human renin gene promoter has been hindered by the lack of suitable renin-expressing cell lines. In this paper, the SV40 viral enhancer is coupled to a human renin promoter/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase ...

G-quadruplexes: Kinetic stability and effects on the c-KIT promoter

open access: yes, 2013
In addition to the famous Watson & Crick model for B-form duplex DNA, guanine-rich DNA sequences can self-assemble under certain conditions to form a four-stranded structure known as a G-quadruplex. G-quadruplexes are composed of stacks of Gquartets,

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The association of HBV core promoter double mutations (A1762T and G1764A) with viral load differs between HBeAg positive and anti-HBe positive individuals: A longitudinal analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background/Aims: Although there have been a few reports regarding the effect of basal core promoter (BCP) double mutations (A1762T and G1764A) on hepatitis B viral loads, the association remains uncertain.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
