Glial toxin effect on protein synthesis in an insect connective.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of electron autoradiographs from the nerve cord of the insect, Periplaneta americana (L.) shows a significant incorporation of 3H-labelled protein in the axons. The axonal activity is greatly reduced after treatment of the cord with the glial toxin ethidium bromide. This is interpreted as substantiating the possibility that adaxonal glia can transfer proteins to the axons.

Diphtheria toxin consists of three functional, transducing, and binding domains, that the functional part inhibits protein synthesis and...
متن کاملEffect of Chondroitinase ABC Enzyme on Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, Chondroitin Sulfated Proteoglycans and Chondroitin 4-Sulfate Levels in an Animal Model of Spinal Cord Injury
Background: Following spinal cord injury, reactive astrocytes upregulate chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) which act as a barrier to neuronal repair and regeneration. Therefore, enzymatic digestion of CSPGs by chondroitinase ABC (cABC) is a key strategy in the treatment of spinal cord injury. Furthermore, cABC has been shown to attenuate post spinal cord injury inflamma...

The cDNA of BmK IT-AP, an excitatory insect toxin from the scorpion Buthus martensi Karsch that has an analgesic effect on mammalian cells, was expressed in E. coli in the form of an inclusion body. Following denaturation and reduction, the recombinant protein was renatured and purified by liquid chromatography. The authenticity of the recombinant product was confirmed by bioassay and its elect...
متن کاملThe review of pathogenic mechanism of Aeromonas hydrophila and action of tetracycline against it in aquatic animals
Aeromonas hydrophila is one of common bacterial disease in aquatic animals and its outbreak cause to decrease of aquatic production. Aeromonas disease is due to a protein toxin, aerolysin that exported by Aeromonas hydrophila. This protein toxin forms channels on target cells membrane, disrupting normal activities and cause to destruction and death of them. Aerolysin toxic protein is secreted b...

Introduction: Chemotherapy has been restricted due to the high-dose side effects. In the present study, acceleration of the chemotherapeutic drug (5FU) entrance into MCF-7 cells has been explored by using a recombinant form of Fragaceatoxin C (FraC) pore-forming toxin. Methods: In this experimental study, the gene for FraC toxin was order from a commercial source and was sub-cloned into pET28a...
