In silico Study of Toll-Like Receptor 4 Binding Site of FimH from Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Introduction : The innate immune system as the first line of defense against the pathogens recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs). Interaction of bacterial PAMPs by TLRs results in activation of innate and acquired immunity. FimH adhesin, a minor component of type 1 fimbriae encoded by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a PAMP of TLR4 tha...
متن کاملMR Iron Quantification of Soluble (Ferritin-like) and Insoluble (Hemosiderin-like) Iron: A Biochemical Validation in Human Liver Explants
Introduction: A theoretical MR model has been proposed that separately quantifies dispersed (soluble, ferritin-like) and aggregated (insoluble, hemosiderin-like) iron by distinguishing their effects on R2 relaxation curves. Recently, this model has been validated in agarose phantoms using MnCl2 and iron oxide microspheres to mimic ferritin and hemosiderin iron, respectively. Here, we directly m...
متن کاملThe major yolk protein in sea urchins is a transferrin-like, iron binding protein.
The major yolk protein (MYP) in sea urchins has historically been classified as a vitellogenin based on its abundance in the yolk platelets. Curiously, it is found in both sexes of sea urchins where it is presumed to play a physiological role in gametogenesis, embryogenesis, or both. Here we present the primary structure of MYP as predicted from cDNAs of two sea urchins species, Strongylocentro...
متن کاملNormal human epidermis contains an interferon-like protein
Interferons have been postulated to participate in growth regulation of normal body tissues and are known to inhibit growth of human epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. Polyclonal antibodies to recombinant human interferon-alpha, purified by passage over an affinity column (Sepharose coupled to the recombinant interferon), used in the indirect immunofluorescent method specifically stained the pro...
متن کاملAntibody targeting the ferritin-like protein controls Listeria infection.
The acquisition of iron during the infection process is essential for the growth of pathogenic microorganisms (S. C. Andrews, Adv. Microb. Physiol. 40:281-351, 1998; H. M. Baker, B. F. Anderson, and E. N. Baker, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 100:3579-3583, 2003). Since the solubility of iron is low and it is toxic at low concentrations, following uptake, iron is stored in subcellular microenv...
