Title: A Fluorometric High-Throughput Assay for Measuring Chlamydial Neutralizing
23 Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular mucosotropic pathogen that causes human 24 infections of global importance. C. trachomatis causes trachoma, the leading cause of 25 preventable blindness worldwide and is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted 26 disease. Although oculogenital infections are treatable with antibiotics, a vaccine is needed to 27 control C. tr...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of surfactant protein A on surfactant phospholipid hydrolysis by secreted phospholipases A2.
Hydrolysis of surfactant phospholipids by secreted phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)) contributes to surfactant dysfunction in acute respiratory distress syndrome. The present study demonstrates that sPLA(2)-IIA, sPLA(2)-V, and sPLA(2)-X efficiently hydrolyze surfactant phospholipids in vitro. In contrast, sPLA(2)-IIC, -IID, -IIE, and -IIF have no effect. Since purified surfactant protein A (SP-A) h...
متن کاملBiochemistry and physiology of mammalian secreted phospholipases A2.
Phospholipases A(2) (PLA2s) are esterases that hydrolyze the sn-2 ester of glycerophospholipids and constitute one of the largest families of lipid hydrolyzing enzymes. The mammalian genome contains 10 enzymatically active secreted PLA2s (sPLA2s) and two sPLA2-related proteins devoid of lipolytic enzymatic activity. In addition to the well-established functions of one of these enzymes in digest...
متن کاملAntitumoral Potential of Tunisian Snake Venoms Secreted Phospholipases A2
Phospholipases type A2 (PLA2s) are the most abundant proteins found in Viperidae snake venom. They are quite fascinating from both a biological and structural point of view. Despite similarity in their structures and common catalytic properties, they exhibit a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. Besides being hydrolases, secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) are an important group of toxi...
متن کاملSecreted Phospholipases A2 from Animal Venoms in Pain and Analgesia
Animal venoms comprise a complex mixture of components that affect several biological systems. Based on the high selectivity for their molecular targets, these components are also a rich source of potential therapeutic agents. Among the main components of animal venoms are the secreted phospholipases A₂ (sPLA₂s). These PLA₂ belong to distinct PLA₂s groups. For example, snake venom sPLA₂s from E...
