Phosphagen Kinase System of the Trematode Paragonimus westermani: Cloning and Expression of a Novel Chemotherapeutic Target
Paragonimiasis is a food-borne trematode infection that affects 22 million people in at least 20 countries (World Health Organization [WHO], 2002) with 293 million more at risk of infection (Keiser & Utzinger, 2007). In East, Southeast, and South Asia, pulmonary paragonimiasis is commonly caused by the trematode Paragonimus westermani (Blair et al., 2007). Humans get infected by this lung fluke...
متن کاملStructure of thymidylate kinase from Ehrlichia chaffeensis
The enzyme thymidylate kinase phosphorylates the substrate thymidine 5'-phosphate (dTMP) to form thymidine 5'-diphosphate (dTDP), which is further phosphorylated to dTTP for incorporation into DNA. Ehrlichia chaffeensis is the etiologic agent of human monocytotropic erlichiosis (HME), a potentially life-threatening tick-borne infection. HME is endemic in the United States from the southern stat...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Therapeutics Protein Kinase D as a Potential Chemotherapeutic Target for Colorectal Cancer
Protein kinase D (PKD) signaling plays a critical role in the regulation of DNA synthesis, proliferation, cell survival, adhesion, invasion/migration,motility, and angiogenesis. Todate, relatively little is knownabout the potential role of PKD in the development and/or progression of human colorectal cancer. We evaluated the expression of different PKD isoforms in colorectal cancer and investig...

متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Characterization of Taurocyamine Kinase from Clonorchis sinensis: A Candidate Chemotherapeutic Target
BACKGROUND Adult Clonorchis sinensis lives in the bile duct and causes endemic clonorchiasis in East Asian countries. Phosphagen kinases (PK) constitute a highly conserved family of enzymes, which play a role in ATP buffering in cells, and are potential targets for chemotherapeutic agents, since variants of PK are found only in invertebrate animals, including helminthic parasites. This work is ...
