cDNA cloning, tissue expression, and chromosomal assignment of a mouse gene, encoding a 127 kDa UV-damaged DNA binding protein which is defective in XPE cells.

چکیده
A subset of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group E cells lack a factor of the UV-damaged DNA binding activity. Both 127 kDa and 48 kDa proteins have been reported to be responsible for the binding activity. A cDNA for the 127 kDa UV-damaged DNA-binding protein (p127-Ddb1) was isolated from a mouse fetal brain full length-enriched cDNA library, and an open reading frame of 1140 amino acids was identified. Reverse transcription-coupled polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that mouse Ddb1 messenger is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues as well as in embryo's. The gene was mapped to near the public locus D19Mit22 region of mouse chromosome 19.

Background: Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria necatrix has the most economic impact onpoultry production. Micronemal proteins in Eimeria necatrix are thoughtto be critical ligands determining host cell specificity at the time ofinvasion. OBJECTIVES: Isolation and purification of Eimeria necatrix oocysts from Khuzestan province of Iran was performed. AcDNA encoding microneme 5 (EnMIC5...

Ricin, the toxic lectin extracted from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), consists of an A chain (RTA) and a B chain (RTB). Anti-A chain Abs and anti-B chain Abs can neutralize toxins in vivo and in vitro via blocking the binding of the toxin to the cell. Also, RTB protein is able to serve as an antigen deliver to the mucosal immune system and act as an immunoad...
متن کاملA 127 kDa component of a UV-damaged DNA-binding complex, which is defective in some xeroderma pigmentosum group E patients, is homologous to a slime mold protein.
A cDNA which encodes a approximately 127 kDa UV-damaged DNA-binding (UV-DDB) protein with high affinity for (6-4)pyrimidine dimers [Abramic', M., Levine, A.S. & Protic', M., J. Biol. Chem. 266: 22493-22500, 1991] has been isolated from a monkey cell cDNA library. The presence of this protein in complexes bound to UV-damaged DNA was confirmed by immunoblotting. The human cognate of the UV-DDB ge...

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...
