Snake venom proteins and coagulopathy caused by snakebite
Snakebite affects around 3 or 4 million humans annually leading to more than 100,000 deaths. Coagulopathy is one of the significant causes of both morbidity and mortality in these patients. Accordingly, it is of utmost importance to diagnose and treat coagulation disorder due to bites; in addition, it is accompanied by various clinical aspects, such as pre-coagulation, fibrinogen coagulation ti...
متن کاملA Versatile and Highly Reliable Method of Identifying Genes Responsible for Mutations Caused by Highly Active Transposable Elements
Active transposition of the DNA transposon Ttf1 in the Torenia mutable line “Flecked” generates new mutants, including those with imperfect penetrance. However, when a gene responsible for a mutation is identified using the transposon display method, the high transposition activity of Ttf1 generates falsepositive bands, thus making identification difficult. In this study, we designed a transpos...
متن کاملIn vivo lysogenic conversion of Tox(-) Streptococcus pyogenes to Tox(+) with Lysogenic Streptococci or free phage.
Temperate bacteriophage can transfer toxin-encoding genes between bacteria, often resulting in acquired pathogenicity. However, little is known regarding the effects of the eukaryotic host on the phage-pathogen interaction. Using Streptococcus pyogenes as a model, we demonstrate, both in vitro and in vivo, that the eukaryote mediates the efficient induction of toxin-encoding temperate phage and...
متن کاملHighly homologous proteins exert opposite biological activities by using different interaction interfaces
We present a possible molecular basis for the opposite activity of two homologues proteins that bind similar ligands and show that this is achieved by fine-tuning of the interaction interface. The highly homologous ASPP proteins have opposite roles in regulating apoptosis: ASPP2 induces apoptosis while iASPP inhibits it. The ASPP proteins are regulated by an autoinhibitory interaction between t...
متن کاملThe conversion of deutero-N15 tryptophan to quinolinic acid by the rat.
Quinolinic acid (pyridine-cr , /3-dicarboxylic acid) has been isolated from rat urine after administration of tryptophan to rats (1). It has been suggested that quinolinic acid is formed via 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid by oxidative cleavage of the benzene ring in the 3-4 position, followed by closure incorporating the amino nitrogen in a pyridine ring (1). In this paper are reported the results o...
