Two DsbA Proteins Are Important for Vibrio parahaemolyticus Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Bacterial pathogens maintain disulfide bonds for protein stability and functions that are required for pathogenesis. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes food-borne gastroenteritis and is also an important opportunistic ...

Sugar Alcohols Have a Key Role in Pathogenesis of Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Whole Blood and Liver Tissues. [PDF]
, 2020 The major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are hepatitis C and B viral infections that proceed to Chronic Liver Disease (CLD). Yet, the early diagnosis and treatment of HCC are challenging because the pathogenesis of HCC is not fully ...

Tamoxifen-like metallocifens target thioredoxin system determining mitochondrial impairment leading to apoptosis in Jurkat cells [PDF]
, 2017 Tamoxifen-like metallocifens (TLMs) of the group-8 metals (Fe, Ru, and Os) show strong anti-proliferative activity on cancer cell lines resistant to apoptosis, owing to their unique redox properties. In contrast, the thioredoxin system, which is involved

Modulation of iron responsive gene expression and enzymatic activities in response to changes of the iron nutritional status in _Cucumis sativus_ L. [PDF]
, 2010 Regulation exerted by the iron status of the plant on the iron deficiency responses was investigated in cucumber roots (_Cucumis sativus_ L.) both at the biochemical and molecular level. Absence of iron induced the expression of the CsFRO1, CsIRT1, CsHA1

Aldose and Aldehyde Reductase Exhibit Isocorticosteroid Reductase Activity [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983 In this paper we describe the reduction of corticosteroid metabolites containing the 17 beta-aldol side chain (isocorticosteroids) by aldose and aldehyde reductase from human tissues. Aldose reductase catalyzed the reduction of the aldehydes derived from cortisol and corticosterone at about the same rate, whereas aldehyde reductase preferentially acted
