Enzymatic activity profiling as a potential biotyping method for Ajellomyces dermatitidis.
Enzyme profiling was investigated as a means of recognizing biotypes and individual strains of Ajellomyces dermatitidis (anamorph, Blastomyces dermatitidis). Eighteen North American and 2 African representatives were tested with the Yeast-IDENT enzymatic activity profiling system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). Significant variation was found between isolates, particularly in beta-galacto...
متن کاملAjellomyces crescens sp. nov., taxonomy of Emmonsia spp., and relatedness with Blastomyces dermatitidis (teleomorph Ajellomyces dermatitidis).
Adiaspiromycosis is known primarily as a pulmonary infection of small burrowing mammals and rarely of humans, in which the tissue spore form consists of a large, globose, thick-walled, non-proliferating structure called an adiaspore. The causative agents have been placed in Emmonsia or Chrysosporium and treated as either two species or varieties. Emmonsia parva (= Chrysosporium parvum var. parv...
متن کاملMolecular genetic variation in Emmonsia crescens and Emmonsia parva, etiologic agents of adiaspiromycosis, and their phylogenetic relationship to Blastomyces dermatitidis (Ajellomyces dermatitidis) and other systemic fungal pathogens.
Emmonsia crescens, an agent of adiaspiromycosis, Blastomyces dermatitidis, the agent of blastomycosis, and Histoplasma capsulatum, the agent of histoplasmosis, are known to form meiotic (sexual) stages in the ascomycete genus Ajellomyces (Onygenaceae, Onygenales), but no sexual stage is known for E. parva, the type species of the genus Emmonsia. To evaluate relationships among members of the pu...
متن کاملActivity-based protein profiling as a robust method for enzyme identification and screening in extremophilic Archaea
Archaea are characterized by a unique life style in often environmental extremes but their thorough investigation is currently hampered by a limited set of suitable in vivo research methodologies. Here, we demonstrate that in vivo activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) may be used to sensitively detect either native or heterogeneously expressed active enzymes in living archaea even under these...
متن کامل3D pharmacophores as tools for activity profiling.
The parallel use of multiple pharmacophore models representing different pharmacological targets emerges as an in silico tool for compound activity profiling. This technology allows for the prediction of desired bioactivities together with potential adverse effects of a drug candidate. In thefield of ethnopharmacology,activity profiling can guide the rationalization of traditional drug uses and...
