A Plasmodium falciparum antigen containing clusters of asparagine residues.
A genomic DNA fragment that encodes a Plasmodium falciparum antigen has been isolated by using human antibodies eluted from the membrane of infected erythrocytes. The antigen has a very unusual primary structure; it is exceptionally rich in asparagine residues, many of which are distributed in clusters (2-15 residues) along the polypeptide chain. Unlike many P. falciparum antigens, this protein...
متن کاملGreen Tea Protects Testes against Atrazine-induced Toxicity in Rat
Background: Atrazine (ATZ) is a common herbicide in agriculture for control of grass and broad-leaved weeds. It persists in the environment and causes reproductive problems in both human and animals. The present study was aimed at protective effect of green tea against ATZ toxicity in the reproductive system of male rats. Methods: The present study was performed in Veterinary School, Shahid ...
متن کاملNimodipine Protects PC12 Cells against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation
The protective effect of a L-type calcium channel blocker, nimodipine, on cell injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in PC12 cells was investigated. PC12 cells were exposed to in-vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (30 minutes and 60 minutes respectively) in the presence or absence of nimodipine (10mM/L) in three different time schedules (pre-24h, pre-3h and concurrently). Cellular vi...
متن کاملLipocalin2 Protects Human Embryonic Kidney Cells against Cisplatin–Induced Genotoxicity
Cisplatin is one of the most useful chemotherapeutics which performs its cytotoxic effectvia accumulation of platinum resulting in oxidative stress, and destruction of cell DNA. Thiscould probably cause secondary cancers in healthy tissues. Lipocalin2 (Lcn2) is a protein whichits expression is increased in oxidative stresses. Therefore, the present study was performedto evaluate the protective ...
متن کاملRacemization of Serine Residues Catalyzed by Dihydrogen Phosphate Ion: A Computational Study
Spontaneous, nonenzymatic reactions in proteins are known to have relevance to aging and age-related diseases, such as cataract and Alzheimer’s disease. Among such reactions is the racemization of Ser residues, but its mechanism in vivo remains to be clarified. The most likely intermediate is an enol. Although being nonenzymatic, the enolization would need to be catalyzed to occur at a biologic...
