trichophyton rubrum (t. rubrum) is an anthropophilic dermatophyte that is distributed worldwide and causes common cutaneous disease such as mycosis. although several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far, however a few studies were carried out in the field of molecular biology of this fungus. in the present study we tried to identify its molecular characterization of the goano...

background: malassezia are dimorphic, lipid-dependent yeasts, which are responsible for causing several cutaneous and sys­temic conditions. although cyclophilins (cyps) are highly conserved cytosolic proteins that catalyze the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerazation reaction before protein folding process, it has been suggestive of an allergen in a few numbers of fungi such as aspergillus fumig...

cytochrome-c (cyt-c) is an electron transport protein, and it is present throughout the evolution. more than 280 sequences have been reported in the protein sequence database (www.uniprot.org). though sequentially diverse, cyt-c has essentially retained its tertiary structure or fold. thus a vast data set of varied sequences with retention of similar structure and function makes it a primary ca...

Avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) is responsible for economic losses in all poultry farms. Certain virulence factors have been proposed as a means of controlling APEC infections, including some proteins to be used for vaccination. In the study we report here, one of the major virulence factors, the iss (increased serum survival) gene, from E. coli strain χ1378, isolated from poultry colibacillosi...

Cytochrome-c (cyt-c) is an electron transport protein, and it is present throughout the evolution. More than 280 sequences have been reported in the protein sequence database (www.uniprot.org). Though sequentially diverse, cyt-c has essentially retained its tertiary structure or fold. Thus a vast data set of varied sequences with retention of similar structure and fun...

DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...

osmotic stress is one of the major factors that significantly reduce yields in dry areas. plants respond to this abiotic stress at physiological and molecular levels. many genes are induced under stress conditions by transcription factors. dehydration responsive element binding (dreb) protein is a subfamily of ap2/erf transcription factors which control expression of many osmotic stress-inducib...

Diversity among the pathogenic strains of Theileria equi (T. equi), a major agent of equine piroplasmosis, can affect the appropriate detection of parasite and host immunization. Production of recombinant surface proteins from an infected horse in natural endemic area provides a reliable tool for immunodiagnosis of parasite. Regarding this, the present study was targeted toward the cloning, exp...
