The interaction of GroEL with different denatured forms of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase* (GAPDH) has been investigated. GroEL does not prevent thermal denaturation of GAPDH, but effectively interacts with the thermodenatured enzyme, thus preventing the aggregation of denatured molecules.
The NAD(+)-dependent non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPN) from the hyperthermophilic archaeum Thermoproteus tenax represents an archaeal member of the diverse superfamily of aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). GAPN catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of d-glyceraldehyde
In the search for Onchocerca volvulus antigens possibly involved in protection against human onchocerciasis, partial amino acid sequence analysis of one of the O. volvulus antigens of the serologically identified proteins showed a close relationship to the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
Streptococcus gordonii and other viridans streptococci (VS) are primary etiologic agents of infective endocarditis, despite being part of the normal oral microflora. Recently, a surface-bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has been found on the cells of all tested streptococcal
The supramolecular structure of oligomeric enzymes can be specifically regulated by changing the size of an inner cavity of Aerosol OT reversed micelles in octane. Both D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reveal an ability to exist and function in
The glycolytic enzymes of trypanosomes are attractive drug targets, since the blood-stream form of Trypanosoma brucei lacks a functional citric acid cycle and is dependent solely on glycolysis for its energy requirements. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GAPDH) from the pathogenic
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from chicken was expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli. To investigate the physical basis of possible protein stabilization strategies, the effect of substitutions of glycine residues by alanine in helical regions was determined. One Gly to
Porphyromonas gingivalis forms communities with antecedent oral biofilm constituent streptococci. P. gingivalis major fimbriae bind to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) present on the streptococcal surface, and this interaction plays an important role in P. gingivalis colonization.
Binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis to the host cells is an essential step in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. P. gingivalis binds to and invades epithelial cells, and fimbriae are thought to be involved in this process. In our earlier studies, two major epithelial cell components of 40 and
The meta-cleavage pathway for catechol is a central pathway for the bacterial dissimilation of a wide variety of aromatic compounds, including phenols, methylphenols, naphthalenes, and biphenyls. The last enzyme of the pathway is a bifunctional aldolase/dehydrogenase that converts
OBJECTIVE
Benzimidazoles, such as lansoprazole and omeprazole, are used extensively as proton-pump inhibitors to control stomach acid secretion and also have antimicrobial actions against Helicobacter pylori. Our objective was to determine whether they are potentially useful antimicrobials against
In the early stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, macrophages, in cooperation with interferon-gamma, a Th1 effector, are the first line of defense. Interleukin (IL)-4, a Th2 effector, is known to downregulate interferon-gamma. It is believed that the expression levels of IL-4 and its
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study is to assess the significance of CEA, EGFR and hTERT as markers of occult tumor cells for predicting treatment outcomes in pancreatic cancers, as well as determining the cut-off values of these markers individually in peritoneal lavage.
METHODS
The study compared 87
According to the transplantation theory, endometriosis develops from endometrial fragments that are retrogradely menstruated into the peritoneal cavity. In order to develop into endometriotic lesions, they have to connect to the vascular system by angiogenesis, probably involving matrix
OBJECTIVE
Metabolic pathway alterations in cancer are thought to be dependent upon tumor type-specific oncogenic activation and local nutrient and oxygen supply during disease progression. In serous ovarian cancer, the typical peritoneal spread of disease is caused by shedding of tumor cells into
