The Transferrin Binding Protein B of Moraxella catarrhalis Elicits Bactericidal Antibodies and Is a Potential Vaccine Antigen [PDF]
ABSTRACT The transferrin binding protein genes ( tbpA and tbpB ) from two strains of Moraxella catarrhalis have been cloned and sequenced. The genomic organization of the M. catarrhalis transferrin binding protein genes is unique among

Mapping of the ligand-binding site on the b ' domain of human PDI: interaction with peptide ligands and the x-linker region [PDF]
PDI (protein disulfide-isomerase) catalyses the formation of native disulfide bonds of secretory proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. PDI consists of four thioredoxin-like domains, of which two contain redox-active catalytic sites (a and a'), and two ...

Iron uptake mediated by binding of H-ferritin to the TIM-2 receptor in mouse cells. [PDF]
Ferritin binds specifically and saturably to a variety of cell types, and recently several ferritin receptors have been cloned. TIM-2 is a specific receptor for H ferritin (HFt) in the mouse.

Cloning and Sequence Analysis of Transferrin Binding Protein Gene A of Field and Vaccine Strains of Pasteurella multocida B:2 [PDF]
Background: Pasteurella multocida is an important bacterial pathogen that causes many major diseases of which haemorrhagic septiciemia (HS) in cattle and buffalo is responsible for catastrophic epizootics in India and South Asia. In India, the disease haemorrhagic septiciemia is considered as the most dreaded bacterial disease.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Analysis of the role or Rab4 and Rab11 in endosomal carrier formation and transferrin recycling [PDF]
: In all eukaryotic cells, membrane transport is essential to distribute proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to their respective destination, i.e. the Golgi, the endosomal/lysosomal system and the cell exterior. A multitude of proteins is involved in

The hepatitis B virus X protein activates nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) by a cyclosporin A-sensitive pathway. [PDF]
The X gene product of the human hepatitis B virus (HBx) is a transcriptional activator of various viral and cellular genes. We recently have determined that the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by HBV-infected hepatocytes is ...
