Mechanism for Oxidation of High-Molecular-Weight Substrates by a Fungal Versatile Peroxidase, MnP2▿

Description : Unlike general peroxidases, Pleurotus ostreatus MnP2 was reported to have a unique property of direct oxidization of high-molecular-weight compounds, such as Poly R-478 and RNase A. To elucidate the mechanism for oxidation of polymeric substrates by MnP2, a series of mutant enzymes were produced by ...

Induction of wild-type p53 activity in human cancer cells by ribozymes that repair mutant p53 transcripts

Description : Several groups have attempted to develop gene therapy strategies to treat cancer via introduction of the wild-type (wt) p53 cDNA into cancer cells. Unfortunately, these approaches do not result in regulated expression of the p53 gene and do not reduce expression of the mutant p53 that is overexpress...

Cadherin-mediated Intercellular Adhesion and Signaling Cascades Involving Small GTPases

Description : Epithelia form physical barriers that separate the internal milieu of the body from its external environment. The biogenesis of functional epithelia requires the precise coordination of many cellular processes. One of the key events in epithelial biogenesis is the establishment of cadherin-dependent...

Purification, Properties, and Cytotoxic Effect of a Bacteriocin from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Description : The bacteriocin produced by Mycobacterium smegmatis ATCC 14468 was isolated, and a study was made of its chemical, physical, and biological properties. No appreciable bacteriocin activity was found in the culture supernatant fluids, but it was released in appreciable quantities after disruption of t...

Development of a closed-loop fes system using a 3-d magnetic position and orientation measurement system

Description : We have developed a closed-loop FES system using a magnetic 3-D position and orientation measurement system (FASTRAK, Polhemus Inc). The purpose of this development was to resolve some experimental difficulties involved in our previous goniometer-based experimental system. The new system enabled us ...

Histone acetylation may suppress human glioma cell proliferation when p21 WAF/Cip1 and gelsolin are induced.

Description : Histone deacetylase inhibitors that increase histone acetylation on transformed cells are being investigated as unique anticancer drugs. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate an antiproliferative activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitors sodium butyrate (NaBT) and trichostatin A on 5 gl...

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug-activated Gene (NAG-1/GDF15) Expression Is Increased by the Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Trichostatin A*

Description : Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene (NAG-1) is a putative tumor suppressor whose expression can be increased by drug treatment. Glioblastoma is the most common central nervous system tumor, is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and responds poorly to surgical, chemical, ...

Breeding of wastewater treatment yeasts that accumulate high concentrations of phosphorus

Description : Inorganic phosphate is an essential nutrient. In general, microorganisms take up phosphorus when the extracellular phosphorus concentration is low, but not when it is high. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the major phosphate transporters, such as Pho84p, and acid phosphatases (APases), such as Pho5p, a...

threo-2-(2,6-Dimethoxy­phen­oxy)-1-(4-eth­oxy-3-methoxy­phen­yl)propane-1,3-diol

Description : In the crystal structure of the title compound, C20H26O7, a lignin model compound, the asymmetric unit contains two mol­ecules which adopt almost identical overall conformations with some deviation in the region of the terminal hydroxyl groups. The two mol­ecules are linked by an inter­molecular O—H...
