Objective(s): Stroke is the most common neurological disorder and genetic susceptibility has an important role in its etiology. Polymorphism in several genes such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is propounded as a risk for stroke. This meta-analysis investigated the association of rs285 and rs320 LPL polymorphism with stroke risk. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, Clarivate Analytics Web o...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...

Lipases are hydrolytic enzymes with different biotechnological applications in food, detergents, pharmaceuticals, paper, and pulp industries. In lipase-producing bacteria, the encoding genes responsible for enzyme synthesis. Optimization of medium parameters is an essential factor large-scale production importance, this served as basis study. study, isolates ECS1, ECS3, ECS11, ECS14, ECS 19, EC...

At least six families of mammalian acid lipases (E.C. 3.1.1.-) catalyse the hydrolysis of triglycerides in the body, designated as LIPA (lysosomal), LIPF (gastric), LIPJ (testis) and LIPK, LIPM and LIPN (epidermal), which belong to the AB hydrolase superfamily. In this study, in silico methods were used to predict the amino acid sequences, secondary and tertiary structures, and gene locations f...

We have previously reported that a psychrotrophic bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. strain KB700A, which displays sigmoidal growth even at -5 degrees C, produced a lipase. A genomic DNA library of strain KB700A was introduced into Escherichia coli TG1, and screening on tributyrin-containing agar plates led to the isolation of the lipase gene. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame (KB-lip) c...

A novel lipase gene, lipase A, of Acinetobacter species SY-01 (A. species SY-01) was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Bacillus subtilis 168. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequences for the lipase A and its chaperone, lipase-specific chaperone, were found to encode mature proteins of 339 aa (37.2 kDa) and 347 aa (38.1 kDa), respectively. The aa sequence of lipase A and lipase-specific chaperone...

Our objective was to investigate the concomitant production of protease and lipase by a bacterial strain. A promising bacterial strain was isolated from a food-processing industrial effluent, which can produce both protease and lipase. The isolate was characterized by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. The PCR amplified gene was subjected to analysis by BLAST to ascertain the genetic relatedness of ...
