Parasite and mammalian GPI biosynthetic pathways can be distinguished using synthetic substrate analogues.
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) structures are attached to many cell surface glycoproteins in lower and higher eukaryotes. GPI structures are particularly abundant in trypanosomatid parasites where they can be found attached to complex phosphosaccharides, as well as to glycoproteins, and as mature surface glycolipids. The high density of GPI structures at all life-cycle stages of African try...
متن کاملAllosteric mechanisms can be distinguished using structural mass spectrometry.
The activity of many proteins, including metabolic enzymes, molecular machines, and ion channels, is often regulated by conformational changes that are induced or stabilized by ligand binding. In cases of multimeric proteins, such allosteric regulation has often been described by the concerted Monod-Wyman-Changeux and sequential Koshland-Némethy-Filmer classic models of cooperativity. Despite t...
متن کاملCan differently prepared mixed states be distinguished ?
A measurement has been proposed by B. d'Espagnat that would distinguish ensembles described by the same density matrix. This proposal is made precise and shown why it does not work in cases analogous to the EPR experiment .
متن کاملHow accurately can direct and indirect inguinal hernias be distinguished?
An inguinal hernia was clinically diagnosed as direct or indirect by paired surgeons of 134 occasions. When compared with the findings at operation the hernia was correctly diagnosed in 60 of 78 observations when it was indirect and in 33 of 56 when it was direct. The level of accuracy does not warrant continuing the practice of attempting to distinguish one type of inguinal hernia from another.
متن کاملPseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola can be separated into two genetic lineages distinguished by the possession of the phaseolotoxin biosynthetic cluster.
The bean (Phaseolus spp.) plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola is characterized by the ability to produce phaseolotoxin (Tox(+)). We recently reported that the majority of the Spanish P. syringae pv. phaseolicola population is unable to synthesize this toxin (Tox(-)). These Tox(-) isolates appear to lack the entire DNA region for the biosynthesis of phaseolotoxin (argK-tox gene ...
