Recombinant Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) RL13 Binds Human Immunoglobulin G Fc
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) protein RL13 has recently been described to be present in all primary isolates but rapidly mutated in culture adapted viruses. Although these data suggest a crucial role for this gene product in HCMV primary infection, no function has so far been assigned to this protein. Working with RL13 expressed in isolation in transfected human epithelial cells, we demonstr...
متن کاملExpression of Human Neutrophil Cathepsin G in Pichia pastoris
Cathepsin G (CatG), a serine protease found in the azurophil granules of neutrophils, participates in killing engulfed microorganisms. CatG is a poorly understood enzyme, in part because it can only be obtained as mature enzyme purified from human blood, and because it seems to have dual specificity for chymotrypsin-like and trypsin-like substrates. Therefore, yeast Pichia pastoris was used to ...
متن کاملJC virus binds to primary human glial cells, tonsillar stromal cells, and B-lymphocytes, but not to T lymphocytes.
The human polyomavirus, JCV, is the etiological agent of the fatal central nervous system demyelinating disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). In PML patients, JC Virus (JCV) can be detected in glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS); in B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, spleen, and tonsil; and in tonsillar stromal cells. In vitro, JCV infects glial...
متن کاملHuman cathelicidin peptide LL37 binds telomeric G-quadruplex.
Stabilization of G-quadruplex inhibits the activity of the enzyme telomerase in cancer cells. We found LL37, a host defense human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, to be a potent binder of G-quadruplex structures.
متن کاملCathepsin G binding to human platelets. Evidence for a specific receptor.
We have shown previously that purified human neutrophil cathepsin G is a strong platelet agonist. We now demonstrate that cathepsin G exhibits saturable, reversible binding to human platelets which is characteristic of binding to a specific receptor. At room temperature, cathepsin G displayed apparent positive co-operativity of binding, as indicated by sigmoidal binding curves and a Hill coeffi...
