Biochemical and genetic evidence for a family of heterotrimeric G-proteins in Trichomonas vaginalis.
We have cloned a single copy gene from the human parasite Trichomonas vaginalis that encodes a putative protein of 402 amino acids with approximately 35% sequence identity to known alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. It contains the characteristic GTP binding domains G-1 to G-5 with the key residues conserved. The new sequence has an unusual N-terminal extension of approximately 70 res...
متن کاملPhosphoproteome profiling of the sexually transmitted pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE(S) Trichomoniasis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection. Morphological transformation from the trophozoite stage to the amoeboid or pseudocyst stage is crucial for T. vaginalis infection and survival. Protein phosphorylation is a key post-translational modification involved in the regulation of several biological processes...
متن کاملA review of methods to increase the stability of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins during the production and storage process
The production of biotechnological drug proteins plays an important role against disease. The process of producing drug recombinant proteins is not a direct path, because it requires a lot of work and on the other hand, one of the important and significant aspects in the production of proteins is the discussion of their stability and solubility during the expression and purification process. Pr...
متن کاملStudy on the possible similar mechanism of ultra low dose-induced hyperalgesia and development of tolerance to analgesia in male rats: an study based on the role of Gs signaling pathway
Introduction: Ultra low dose (ULD) morphine induces hyperalgesia which is mediated by excitatory Gscoupled opioid receptors. This study was designed to investigate the development of tolerance to hyperalgesic effect of morphine. Also we attempt to seek possible similarity, in view of Gs proteins, between hyperalgesic effect of ULD and hyperalgesic effect after tolerance to HD. Method: Male ...
متن کاملHypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal axis and stimulatory G proteins signaling role in nociceptive changes induced by forced swim stress
Introduction: Different mechanisms are involved in stress induced analgesia (SIA) and hyperalgesia (SIH). Repeated stress induces development of tolerance to SIA. The role of HPA axis and Gs signaling pathway in these effects are investigated in the current study. Methods: Forced swim stress (5 min/day) in water (20±1 ºC) was employed to adult male Wistar rats (200-250 g). The nociceptive t...
