background: meiotic genes are very important candidates for genes contributing to female and male infertility. mammalian mutl homologues have dual roles in dna mismatch repair (mmr) after replication errors and meiotic reciprocal recombination. the mutl homologs, mlh1 and mlh3 , are crucial for meiotic reciprocal recombination and human fertility. in this study the functional polymorphisms of m...

Background Rheumatic diseases are generally diagnosed in advanced stages. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by presence of autoantibodies against DNA and nuclear proteins a wide variety clinical symptoms (Fava 2019, Wang 2019 ). Actually, it has not curative treatment (Mathias 2020 Therefore, the search for biomarkers SLE diagnosis earlier...

A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) constitute a protein family essential for extracellular signaling and regulation of cell adhesion. Catalytic activity of ADAMs and their predicted potential for Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain binding show a strong correlation. Here we present a comprehensive characterization of SH3 binding capacity and preferences of the catalytically active ADAMs 8, 9,...

Acute and chronic lung inflammation is driven and controlled by several endogenous mediators that undergo proteolytic conversion from surface-expressed proteins to soluble variants by a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)-family members. TNF and epidermal growth factor receptor ligands are just some of the many substrates by which these proteases regulate inflammatory or regenerative proce...
