Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Vitellogenin (vtg) was isolated from greenback flounder (Rhombosolea tapirina), rainbow trout, (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) plasma. The molecular weight of each native molecule, as determined by gel filtration, was 540, 383 and 557 kD respectively. With SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, rainbow trout vtg dissociated into 1 major subunit (~154 kD), and Atlantic salmo...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex, Using Molecular Methods
Abstract Background and Objective: A high level of homogeneity observed within all bacteria in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex makes a property that seriously challenges traditional biochemical-based identification methods of these pathogens in the laboratory. The work presented here was conducted to characterize Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates in Golestan, Northern Iran. ...
متن کاملSymposium: Nutrition, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Biotin Cellular Uptake of Biotin: Mechanisms and Regulation
This review describes our knowledge of biotin transport in the small intestine of humans and other mammals and presents recent findings in the area. Previous studies have shown that biotin transport across the brush border membrane of the small intestinal absorptive cells occurs via a carrier-mediated, Na gradientdependent, electroneutral mechanism. Exit of biotin out of the enterocyte, i.e., t...
متن کاملRole of Molecular Interactions and Oligomerization in Chaperone Activity of Recombinant Acr from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Background: The chaperone activity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Acr is an important function that helps to prevent misfolding of protein substrates inside the host, especially in conditions of hypoxia. Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the correlation of structure and function of recombinant Acr proteins both before and after ge...
متن کاملprevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients infected with HIV by microscopical and molecular methods
Background:In some countries, one of the first and most common manifestations of HIV positive patients is tuberculosis (TB). HIV positive people are prone to other infections such as tuberculosis due to immune deficiency and reduced CD4+ cell count. Although increasing access to antiretroviral therapy has led to a reduction in HIV-related opportunistic infections and mortality, the simultaneous...
