In vitro secreted aspartyl proteinase activity of Candida albicans isolated from oral diseases and healthy oral cavities.

Only registered users can translate articles

The in vitro secreted aspartyl proteinase (SAP) activity of Candida albicans isolated from a variety of oral conditions, including healthy oral cavities, was determined. SAP activity (units/10(6) cells/ml, +/-SD) was 0.28 +/- 0.33 for pseudomembranous candidosis isolates (n = 18), 0.35 +/- 0.46 for

Large Pore Mesoporous Silica and Organosilica Nanoparticles for Pepstatin A Delivery in Breast Cancer Cells.

(1) Background: Nanomedicine has recently emerged as a new area of research, particularly to fight cancer. In this field, we were interested in the vectorization of pepstatin A, a peptide which does not cross cell membranes, but which is a potent inhibitor of cathepsin D, an aspartic protease

F99 is critical for dimerization and activation of South African HIV-1 subtype C protease.

HIV-1 protease (PR) is an obligate homodimer which plays a pivotal role in the maturation and hence propagation of HIV. Although successful developments on PR active site inhibitors have been achieved, the major limiting factor has been the emergence of HIV drug-resistant strains. Disruption of the

Absorption, transportation and digestion of egg white in quail embryos.

The present study was done to reveal how egg white is taken up by embryonic tissues, the pathway through which egg white is transported, and the location where it is digested during the development of the quail Coturnix japonica. Antiserum against quail ovalbumin was raised in rabbit and used as a

Apoptosis of phagocytic cells induced by Candida albicans and production of IL-10.

Macrophages co-incubated with Candida albicans strain CR1 in vitro showed early signs of apoptosis, but evolved to necrosis after 2 h. In this study, we investigated whether strain CR1 caused apoptosis or necrosis of macrophages after its inoculation into mice peritoneal cavity, and whether this

Proteases in cyst fluid from human gross cyst breast disease.

Cyst fluid from women with gross cystic breast disease was found to contain protease activity when assayed against [14C]albumin. At least six different proteases were detected when the fluid was fractionated by a combination of S-300 Sephacel, hydroxylapatite, and DEAE-Sephacel chromatographic

Secreted aspartic proteinase (Sap) activity contributes to tissue damage in a model of human oral candidosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Secreted aspartic proteinases (Saps) are important virulence factors during Candida albicans mucosal or disseminated infections. A differential expression of individual SAP genes has been shown previously in a model of oral candidosis based on reconstituted human epithelium (RHE), and in the oral

Candida albicans Cek1 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling enhances fungicidal activity of salivary histatin 5.

Only registered users can translate articles

Candida albicans is a major etiological organism for oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC), while salivary histatin 5 (Hst 5) is a human fungicidal protein that protects the oral cavity from OPC. C. albicans senses its environment by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation that can also

Novel uncomplexed and complexed structures of plasmepsin II, an aspartic protease from Plasmodium falciparum.

Only registered users can translate articles

Malaria remains a human disease of global significance and a major cause of high infant mortality in endemic nations. Parasites of the genus Plasmodium cause the disease by degrading human hemoglobin as a source of amino acids for their growth and maturation. Hemoglobin degradation is initiated by
