Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1977
Placental steroid sulfatase deficiency is a genetic disorder only recently reported in the medical literature. Most documented cases of placental sulfatase deficiency have been marked by delay in onset of labor, lack of cervical dilatation, and relative refractoriness of oxytocic agents and amniotomy. We have studied the placenta, cultured fibroblasts,

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv3406 is a type II alkyl sulfatase capable of sulfate scavenging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encodes nine putative sulfatases, none of which have a known function or substrate. Here, we characterize Mtb's single putative type II sulfatase, Rv3406, as a non-heme iron (II) and α-ketoglutarate ...

Heparan Sulfate: A Regulator of White Adipocyte Differentiation and of Vascular/Adipocyte Interactions

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
White adipose tissues are major endocrine organs that release factors, termed adipokines, which affect other major organ systems. The development and functions of adipose tissues depend largely upon the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate.

Multiple sulfatase deficiency: catalytically inactive sulfatases are expressed from retrovirally introduced sulfatase cDNAs. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1992
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is an inherited lysosomal storage disease characterized by the deficiency of at least seven sulfatases. The basic defect in MSD is thought to be in a post-translational modification common to all sulfatases. In accordance with this concept, RNAs of normal size and amount were detected in MSD fibroblasts for three ...

Purification, Characterization, and Structural Studies of a Sulfatase from Pedobacter yulinensis

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Sulfatases are ubiquitous enzymes that hydrolyze sulfate from sulfated organic substrates such as carbohydrates, steroids, and flavones. These enzymes can be exploited in the field of biotechnology to analyze sulfated metabolites in humans, such as ...

Revisiting Hyaluronan Catabolism in Bacteroides: Pathway Conservation, Overlooked Proteins, and Predictive Accuracy. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiologyopen
Hyaluronan degradation in Bacteroides cannot be reliably predicted from canonical PL8/GH88 enzymes alone. Experimental validation reveals coordinated induction of noncanonical accessory proteins (BT4410/BT4411), highlighting pathway plasticity and context‐dependent glycosaminoglycan utilization. ABSTRACT The ability of gut microbes to degrade host‐ and

Unexpected Phenotype Reversion and Survival in a Zebrafish Model of Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a rare recessively inherited Mendelian disorder that manifests with developmental delay, neurodegeneration, skeletal deformities, facial dysmorphism, congenital growth retardation, and other clinical signs.

Alkyl Sulfatase of Cholera Vibrios

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2023
The aim of the work was to study the structure of the alkyl sulfatase (asu) gene in Vibrio cholerae strains of various serogroups, as well as to compare nucleotide and amino acid sequences of alkyl sulfatases using various methods of bioinformatic ...
