متن کاملCytotoxicity of folate-Pseudomonas exotoxin conjugates toward tumor cells. Contribution of translocation domain.
Folate-protein conjugates can be nondestructively delivered into a cell's cytoplasm via folate receptor-mediated endocytosis if (i) the target cells express a folate-binding protein, and (ii) if the folate is linked to its attached protein at a site that does not interfere with receptor recognition. Because such conjugates have been observed to remain in endosomal compartments for extended peri...

background: antibiotic resistance and the need for long-term treatments especially for chronic infections necessitate the developmentof a vaccine against pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.objectives: in this study, recombinant exotoxin a (domains i and ii), (exoa i-ii) protein was expressed, purifid and its immunologicalcharacteristics were evaluated in a mouse model.materials and methods: the g...
متن کاملPolynucleotide phosphorylase-deficient mutants of Pseudomonas putida.
In bacteria, polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is one of the main exonucleolytic activities involved in RNA turnover and is widely conserved. In spite of this, PNPase does not seem to be essential for growth if the organisms are not subjected to special conditions, such as low temperature. We identified the PNPase-encoding gene (pnp) of Pseudomonas putida and constructed deletion mutants th...
متن کاملEffects of eliminating a disulfide bridge within domain II of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A.
Cysteines 265 and 287 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA) were substituted by serine, thereby eliminating a disulfide bridge within domain II, the putative membrane insertion-translocation domain. Purified mutant toxin was 80-fold less toxic for mouse L cells than was wild-type ETA while retaining the same specific activity in the ADP-ribosyltransferase reaction as did wild-type toxin. B...
