Characterization of the Entamoeba histolytica Ornithine Decarboxylase-Like Enzyme
BACKGROUND The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are organic cations that are required for cell growth and differentiation. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, is a highly regulated enzyme. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS To use this enzyme as a potential drug target, the gene encoding putative ornithine decarboxylase ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a membrane pore-forming protein from Entamoeba histolytica
We describe the partial purification and characterization of a pore-forming material (PEM) from Entamoeba histolytica. The formation of ion channels by PFM was examined in three systems. (a) PFM depolarizes J774 macrophages and mouse spleen lymphocytes as measured by [3H]TPP+ uptake. (b) PFM induces rapid monovalent cation flux across the membrane of phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol vesicles. (c...
متن کاملGamma ray effects on trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica.
Cultures of Entamoeba histolytica were subjected to pure gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source. No effect upon population growth was noticed following dosages below 100,000 RAD. A noticeable increase in lag phase was observed following exposure to about 100,000 RAD. A dose of more than 195,300 RAD resulted in death as indicated by failure of cultures to grow. The relation between increasing l...
متن کاملIdentification and partial characterization of a dynamin-like protein, EhDLP1, from the protist parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
The dynamin superfamily of proteins includes a large repertoire of evolutionarily conserved GTPases that interact with different subcellular organelle membranes in eukaryotes. Dynamins are thought to participate in a number of cellular processes involving membrane remodeling and scission. Dynamin-like proteins (DLPs) form a subfamily of this vast class and play important roles in cellular proce...
متن کاملSpecies-Specific Immunodetection of an Entamoeba histolytica Cyst Wall Protein.
Entamoeba histolytica causes intestinal disease in endemic settings throughout the world. Diagnosis of E. histolytica infection would be improved by the identification of biomarkers that are expressed by cysts of E. histolytica, but not by cysts of closely related commensal species of Entamoeba. Herein, we describe two novel monoclonal antibodies (1A4 and 1D3) produced against a spacer region o...
