Cell killing by HIV-1 protease.
The human immunodeficiency virus protease (HIV-1 PR) was expressed both in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in mammalian cells. Inducible expression of HIV-1 PR arrested yeast growth, which was followed by cell lysis. The lytic phenotype included loss of plasma membrane integrity and cell wall breakage leading to the release of cell content to the medium. Given that neither poliovirus 2A ...
متن کاملOn selectable collisionful hash functions
This paper presents an attack on Gong's proposed collision-ful hash function. The weaknesses of his method are studied and possible solutions are given. Some secure methods that require additional assumptions are also suggested.
متن کاملProtease-resistant single-domain antibodies inhibit Campylobacter jejuni motility.
Camelid heavy-chain antibody variable domains (VHHs) are emerging as potential antimicrobial reagents. We have engineered a previously isolated VHH (FlagV1M), which binds Campylobacter jejuni flagella, for greater thermal and proteolytic stability. Mutants of FlagV1M were obtained from an error-prone polymerase chain reaction library that was panned in the presence of gastrointestinal (GI) prot...
متن کاملEngineered Single-Domain Antibodies with High Protease Resistance and Thermal Stability
The extreme pH and protease-rich environment of the upper gastrointestinal tract is a major obstacle facing orally-administered protein therapeutics, including antibodies. Through protein engineering, several Clostridium difficile toxin A-specific heavy chain antibody variable domains (V(H)Hs) were expressed with an additional disulfide bond by introducing Ala/Gly54Cys and Ile78Cys mutations. M...
متن کاملGenetically engineered antibodies.
The technologyneeded to geneticallyengineer antibodiesis evolving rapidly and the potential utility of these novel re-agents is being explored with vigor. The process includes cloningof the antibodygenes, their in vitromanipulationand mutagenesis, expression in a suitable host/vectorsystem, and, for commercial production,scale-up, purification,and productevaluation.At each step, significantadva...
