We have developed a novel procedure to monitor the real-time cleavage of natural unmodified peptides (dark substrates). In the competition-based assay, the initial cleavage rate of a fluorogenic peptide substrate is measured in the presence of a second substrate that is not required to exhibit any
Marine sediments host a large population of diverse, heterotrophic, uncultured microorganisms with unknown physiologies that control carbon flow through organic matter decomposition. Recently, single-cell genomics uncovered new key players in these processes, such as the miscellaneous crenarchaeotal
Nodule senescence was induced in intact soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merr., cv Woodworth] plants by an 8-day dark treatment. Dark-induced senescence resulted in the complete loss of acetylene reduction activity, a 67% loss of total soluble protein, and an almost complete loss in total leghemoglobin of
An anthraquinone-based fluorescent quencher is described that is applicable to fluorophores throughout the visible spectrum and into the near IR. This species has been used to construct a palate of multicolour sensors of proteolysis and photolysis.
A subset of the family of fluorescent proteins are the non-fluorescent chromoproteins which are promising probe molecules for use in photoacoustic imaging and as acceptor chromophores in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors. Typical approaches for fluorescent protein
A detailed understanding of the molecular events underlying the conversion and self-association of normally soluble proteins into amyloid fibrils is fundamental to the identification of therapeutic strategies to prevent or cure amyloid-related disorders. Recent investigations indicate that amyloid
Dark fluorescence quenchers are nonfluorescent dyes that can modulate the fluorescence signal of an appropriate fluorophore donor in a distance-dependent manner. Dark quenchers are extensively used in many biomolecular analytical applications, such as studies with fluorogenic protease substrates or
A combination bioprocess of solid-state fermentation (SSF) and dark fermentative hydrogen production from food waste was developed. Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus oryzae were utilized in SSF from food waste to generate glucoamylase and protease which were used to hydrolyze the food waste
The dark reactions of Secale cereale L. cv. Balbo phytochrome have been investigated in coleoptile tips and in extensively purified extracts of large molecular weight phytochrome. Destruction, but not reversion, was detected in vivo. The effects of various inhibitors of an in vitro
BACKGROUND
Dark skin has different properties in comparison to fair skin. Melanocytes have been shown to partly contribute to these differences, however, the involvement of keratinocytes from dark or fair skin is not well demonstrated.
OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the proliferation and barrier
Ammonium and/or free ammonia (the unionized form of ammonium) are generally thought to inhibit the activities of microbes involved in anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge. It was found in this work, however, that the presence of ammonium (NH4+-N) largely enhanced dark fermentative hydrogen
We have previously reported the occurrence of two serine endoproteases (referred to as P1 and P2) in dark-induced senescent wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves. P1 enzyme was already purified and identified as a subtilisin-like serine endoprotease (Roberts et al. in Physiol Plant 118:483-490, 2003).
Senescence-related proteases play important roles in leaf senescence by regulating protein degradation and nutrient recycling. A 98.9kDa senescence-related protease EP3 in wheat leaves was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Q-Sepharose fast flow anion exchange chromatography and gel slicing
We describe the efficient synthesis and one-step derivatization of novel, nonfluorescent azo dyes based on the Black Hole Quencher-3 (BHQ-3) scaffold. These dyes were equipped with various reactive and/or bioconjugatable groups (azido, α-iodoacetyl, ketone, terminal alkyne, vicinal diol). The azido
Mycobiota are important in underground ecology. In 2014, we discovered dark stains on clayey sediments on the walls of Driny Cave, Slovakia. Our description is based on the morphology of the fungus and the phylogenetic relationships of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. In addition, data
