Degenerate binding of tyrosinase peptides to MHC II Ad/Ed molecules.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recently we defined the tyrosinase233-247IPYWDWRDAEKCDIC peptide as the pentadecamer sequence hosting the linear determinant of the anti-tyrosinase MAb T311. In order to understand the molecular features that render epitopic the amino acid tyrosinase233-247 sequence, we 1) analyzed the MHC II

Regulation of the human tyrosinase gene in retinal pigment epithelium cells: the significance of transcription factor orthodenticle homeobox 2 and its polymorphic binding site.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for melanin biosynthesis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the eye. Melanin has an important role in retinal development, function, and protection against light-induced oxidative stress, and melanin levels are associated with

AAV-mediated tyrosinase gene transfer restores melanogenesis and retinal function in a model of oculo-cutaneous albinism type I (OCA1).

Only registered users can translate articles

Oculo-cutaneous albinism type 1 (OCA1) is characterized by congenital hypopigmentation and is due to mutations in the TYROSINASE gene (TYR). In this study, we have characterized the morpho-functional consequences of the lack of tyrosinase activity in the spontaneous null mouse model of OCA1

Cotransfection of genes encoding human tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 prevents melanocyte death and enhances melanin pigmentation and gene expression of Lamp-1.

We constructed two genes specific to melanogenesis, human tyrosinase (HT) and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) genes, into two separate expression vectors so that the cloned genes were under the control of a human cytomegalovirus promoter and enhancer. Monkey kidney COS-7 cells and human

Transcriptional analysis of tyrosinase gene expression during Bufo bufo development.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tyrosinase (EC.1.14.18.1.) is a widespread enzyme, in the phylogenetic scale, that produces melanin, from bacteria to man, by using as substrates monophenols, o-diphenols and molecular oxygen. In this work we have confirmed and demonstrated that during Bufo bufo development tyrosinase

3D QSAR pharmacophore-based virtual screening for the identification of potential inhibitors of tyrosinase.

Tyrosinase plays an important role in melanin biosynthesis and protects skin against ultraviolet radiations. Functional deficiency of tyrosinase results in serious dermatological diseases. Tyrosinase also participates in neuromelanin formation in the human brain, which leads to neurodegeneration

Generation of Albino Cynops pyrrhogaster by Genomic Editing of the tyrosinase Gene.

Only registered users can translate articles

Albino animals are useful for in situ hybridization experiments that demonstrate gene expression in embryos and organs, for the immunological rejection of skin grafts transplanted to host animals, and to identify tissues with regenerative ability during limbs and retina regeneration processes.

The identification and partial cloning by PCR of the gene for tyrosinase-related protein-1 in the Mexican axolotl.

Only registered users can translate articles

The tyrosinase gene family is currently composed of three members, tyrosinase and two tyrosinase-related proteins, TRP-1 and TRP-2. These three gene products have all been found to act in the synthesis of melanin pigments with the enzyme tyrosinase catalyzing the initial rate-limiting steps. Thus

[Antioxidant function of solanesol and its inhibitory effect on tyrosinase].

Only registered users can translate articles

The present paper intends to discuss the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition effect of solanesol from three aspects of ultraviolet radiation and free radical scavenging. The paper makes a survey on diurnal variation rule of the minimum ultraviolet transmittance and ultraviolet transmittance of

The albino mutation of tyrosinase alters ocular angiogenic responsiveness.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have observed substantial differences in angiogenic responsiveness in mice and have mapped the genetic loci responsible for these differences. We have found that the albino mutation is one of the loci responsible for such differences. Using B6.A consomic strains, we determined that chromosome 7

Tyrosinase is the modifier of retinoschisis in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a form of macular degeneration with a juvenile onset. This disease is caused by mutations in the retinoschisin (RS1) gene. The major clinical pathologies of this disease include splitting of the retina (schisis) and a loss in synaptic transmission. Human XLRS

Coordinated mRNA and protein expression of human LAMP-1 in induction of melanogenesis after UV-B exposure and co-transfection of human tyrosinase and TRP-1 cDNAs.

Only registered users can translate articles

In order to better understand the cascade of melanogenic events in melanocytes, this report has introduced our two recent approaches for the expression of melanogenesis/or melanosome-associated genes and encoded proteins in melanocytes (melanoma cells) after repeated exposure to UV-B and after

Increased dopamine and its metabolites in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells that express tyrosinase.

Only registered users can translate articles

Oxidized metabolites of dopamine, known as dopamine quinone derivatives, are thought to play a pivotal role in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Although such quinone derivatives are usually produced via the autoxidation of catecholamines, tyrosinase, which is a key enzyme in melanin

The effect of intrastriatal injection of liposome-entrapped tyrosinase on the dopamine levels in the rat brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder which is mainly characterized by degeneration of the dopaminergic cells in the nigro-striatal system. Due to a lowered L-tyrosine 3-monooxygenase activity, L-tyrosine is not sufficiently transformed to L-DOPA. To date the most common therapy is the

Degeneration of the Eyes of Tyrosine-Deficient Chick Embryos.

Only registered users can translate articles

Subjecting 4-day-old chick embryos to a yolk-sac perfusion medium lacking tyrosine resulted in arrest of retinal pigmentation and in degeneration of the neural retina. Phenylaldnine was ineffective in replacing tyrosine. Possibly retinal tyrosinase played a part in initiating the degenerative
