The TatD-like DNase of Plasmodium is a virulence factor and a potential malaria vaccine candidate
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), composed primarily of DNA and proteases, are released from activated neutrophils and contribute to the innate immune response by capturing pathogens. Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of severe malaria, thrives in its host by counteracting immune elimination. Here, we report the discovery of a novel virulence factor of P. falciparum, a TatD-like D...
متن کاملDNase Activities of the Extracellular, Cell Wall-Associated, and Cytoplasmic Protein Fractions of Frankia Strain R43.
DNase activities in different protein fractions of Frankia strain R43 were studied. The extracellular and the cell wall-associated fractions revealed the presence of exo- and endonucleolytic enzymes, but none was detected in the cytoplasmic fraction. The strongest DNase hydrolysis was found in the extracellular fraction, in which six DNases were detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide...
متن کاملA deathly DNase activity for dicer.
Recently reporting in Science, Nakagawa et al. describe an unexpected role for Dicer in chromosome fragmentation during apoptosis in C. elegans. They find that cleavage of DCR-1 by the caspase CED-3 redirects its regulatory activity, by destroying its dsRNase activity while activating an intrinsic DNase activity.
متن کاملExtremely Stable Soluble High Molecular Mass Multi-Protein Complex with DNase Activity in Human Placental Tissue
Human placenta is an organ which protects, feeds, and regulates the grooving of the embryo. Therefore, identification and characterization of placental components including proteins and their multi-protein complexes is an important step to understanding the placenta function. We have obtained and analyzed for the first time an extremely stable multi-protein complex (SPC, ∼ 1000 kDa) from the so...
متن کاملThe Potassium Binding Protein Kbp Is a Cytoplasmic Potassium Sensor.
Escherichia coli possesses a number of specific K(+) influx and efflux systems that maintain an appropriate intracellular K(+) concentration. Although regulatory mechanisms have been identified for a number of these transport systems, the exact mechanism through which K(+) concentration is sensed in the cell remains unknown. In this work we show that Kbp (K(+) binding protein, formerly YgaU), a...
