Drug dissolution studies are commonly conducted using compendial methods employing USP Paddle and Basket apparatuses. In many cases, dissolution studies can be of limited benefit especially for product-dependent dissolution procedures like in extended release (ER) formulations. The high variability in dissolution testing, that is not productrelated, emphasizes the need for developing new method...

Leishmaniases are a set of tropical and sub-tropical diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania whose severity ranges from self-healing cutaneous lesions to fatal visceral infections. Leishmania parasites synthesise a wide array of cell surface and secreted glycoconjugates that play important roles in infection. These glycoconjugates are particularly abundant in the promasti...

Members of the universal stress protein (USP) family were originally identified in stressed bacteria on the basis of a shared domain, which has since been reported in a phylogenetically diverse range of prokaryotes, fungi, protists, and plants. Although not previously characterized in metazoans, here we report that USP genes are distributed in animal genomes in a unique pattern that reflects fr...

The steroid hormone ecdysone regulates moulting, cell death, and differentiation during insect development. Ecdysone mediates its biological effects by either direct activation of gene transcription after binding to its receptor EcR-Usp or via hierarchical transcriptional regulation of several primary transcription factors. In turn, these transcription factors regulate the expression of several...

The Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP), a world class reference in the treatment of cleft lip and palate and hearing loss, was born in the 1960’s decade in the heart of the Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo (FOB/USP). During the development of an epidemiologic research project, Professor José Alberto de Souza Freitas (“Tio ...

Ubiquitin specific proteases (USPs) are the largest family of deubiquitinating enzymes with approximately 56 members in humans. USPs regulate a wide variety of cellular processes by their ability to remove (poly)ubiquitin from target proteins. Their enzymatic activity is encoded in a common catalytic core of approximately 350 amino acids, however many USPs show significantly larger catalytic do...

Numerous nucleotide sugars are needed in plants to synthesize cell wall polymers and glycoproteins. The de novo synthesis of nucleotide sugars is of major importance. During growth, however, some polymers are broken down to monosaccharides. Reactivation of these sugars into nucleotide sugars occurs in two steps: first, by a substrate-specific sugar-1-kinase and, second, by UDP-sugar-pyrophospho...

We present the crystal structures of two universal stress proteins (USP) from Archaeoglobus fulgidus and Nitrosomonas europaea in both apo- and ligand-bound forms. This work is the first complete synthesis of the structural properties of 26 USP available in the Protein Data Bank, over 75% of which were determined by structure genomics centers with no additional information provided. The results...

Arabidopsis UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase (AtUSP, EC 2.7.7.64) is a broad substrate pyrophosphorylase that exhibits activity with GlcA-1-P, Gal-1-P and Glc-1-P. Immunoblots using polyclonal antibodies raised to recombinant AtUSP demonstrated the presence of two USP isoforms of approximately 70 kDa (USP1) and 66 kDa (USP2) in crude extracts of Arabidopsis tissues. The 66 kDa isoform was not the re...
