Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines strain AM2 (XcgAM2), the etiological agent of bacterial pustule disease of soybean, exhibited post-exponential rapid cell death (RCD) in LB medium. X. campestris pv. malvacearum NCIM 2310 and X. campestris NCIM 2961 also displayed RCD, though less pronouncedly
The flaviviral heterodimeric serine protease NS2B-NS3, consisting of the NS3 protease domain and the NS2B co-factor, is essential for ZIKA virus maturation and replication in cells. For in vitro studies a 'linked' construct, where a polyglycine linker connects NS2BCF and NS3pro
Ferritin from the soyabean Glycine max was isolated and characterized. The protein has many features in common with ferritin from mammalian systems, including extensive sequence homology, as determined by two-dimensional peptide mapping. No immunocross-reactivity between the plant and animal
The substrate specificity of a novel serine protease isolated from soybean seeds, cultivar Keburi, was investigated using various peptide-MCAs and several neuropeptides involving single and paired basic amino acid sequences. The protease was quite specific for arginine residue at the P1 site of the
BACKGROUND
Isolated rat proximal tubules are frequently used as a model to study hypoxic injury. Glycine is a very effective protective agent against hypoxia-induced cell injury in this model. The mechanisms involved in hypoxic renal injury and glycine protection are still debated. We have focused
Degradative cytosolic proteolysis contributes to cell injury following ATP depletion. Although ATP depletion is a salient feature of ischemic liver storage for transplantation, information regarding cytosolic protease activity during liver storage is lacking. Thus our aim was to measure liver
Perennial Glycine species, distant relatives of soybean, have been recognized as a potential source of new genetic diversity for soybean improvement. The subgenus Glycine includes around 30 perennial species, which are well-adapted to drought conditions and possess resistance to a number of soybean
The enzymatic properties of novel cysteine proteases D3-alpha and beta which were purified from germinating soybean cotyledons were investigated. The enzyme activities were exhibited in the presence of a thiol reagent, such as 2-mercaptoethanol, and apparently inhibited by E-64, a cysteine protease
Colorectal cancers express significant amounts of immature glycine-extended gastrin (G-Gly) and G-Gly is able to stimulate cell proliferation in colonic cell lines and mucosa. Here we wished to investigate whether G17-Gly promote the invasiveness of LoVo human colonic cancer cells, a process which
Reaction of alkyl/arylsulfonyl halides with glycine afforded a series of derivatives which were first N-benzylated by treatment with benzyl chloride, and then converted to the corresponding hydroxamic acids with hydroxylamine in the presence of carbodiimide derivatives. Other derivatives were
Collagen and fibronectin (Fn) are two key extracellular matrix proteins, which are known to interact and jointly shape matrix structure and function. Most proteins that interact with collagen bind only to the native triple-helical form, whereas Fn is unusual in binding strongly to denatured collagen
Endoproteolysis of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) and Notch requires conserved aspartate residues in presenilins 1 and 2 (PS1 and PS2). Although PS1 and PS2 have therefore been proposed to be aspartyl proteases, no homology to other aspartyl proteases has been found. Here we identify
The secretion of peptides and proteins is essential for survival and ecological adaptation of bacteria. Dual-functional ATP-binding cassette transporters export antimicrobial or quorum signaling peptides in Gram-positive bacteria. Their substrates contain a leader sequence that is excised by an
OBJECTIVE
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by premature zymogen activation, systemic inflammatory response resulting in inflammatory infiltrates, sustained intracellular calcium, neurogenic inflammation and pain. The inhibitory neurotransmitter and cytoprotective amino acid glycine exerts a
Among 15 wild perennial species of the genus Glycine Willd. subgenus Glycine, G. tomentella is exceptional. It is composed of four cytotypes (2n = 38, 40, 78, 80), is diverse in morphological features, and covers a wide geographical area. The objectives of this study were to uncover the genomic
