Anti-Cancer Vaccines — A One-Hit Wonder?
Immunization against common bacterial and viral diseases has helped prevent millions of deaths worldwide. More recently, the concept of vaccination has been developed into a potentially novel strategy to treat and prevent cancer formation, progression, and spread. Over the past few years, a handful of anti-cancer vaccines have been licensed and approved for use in clinical practice, thus provid...
متن کاملPosttranslational modification of a vanadium nitrogenase
In microbes that fix nitrogen, nitrogenase catalyzes the conversion of N2 to ammonia in an ATP-demanding reaction. To help conserve energy some bacteria inhibit nitrogenase activity upon exposure to ammonium. The purple nonsulfur phototrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain CGA009 can synthesize three functional nitrogenase isoenzymes: a molybdenum nitrogenase, a vanadium nitrogenas...
متن کاملTwo-hit wonder: a novel genetic model to explain variable expressivity in severe pediatric phenotypes.
Genomic disorders involving microdeletions and microduplications have been reported in many individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and mental retardation. The recurrent nature of these disorders is often explained by nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) mediated by large blocks of highly identical segmental duplications or low copy repeats (LCR). The rapidly growing li...
متن کاملThe vanadium nitrogenase of Azotobacter chroococcum
1. Nitrogenase activity of a strain of Azotobacter chroococcum lacking the structural genes of Monitrogenase (nifHDK) was associated with a V+Fe-containing protein and an Fe-containing protein [Robson, Eady, Richardson, Miller, Hawkins & Postgate (1986) Nature (London) 322, 388-390; Eady, Robson, Richardson, Miller & Hawkins (1987) Biochem. J. 244, 197-207]. 2. The Fe protein was purifed to hom...
متن کاملPresence of a Vanadium Nitrogenase in Azotobacter paspali.
There have been no previous studies on the genetics of Azotobacter paspali, an aerobic bacterium which forms a highly specific diazotrophic association with Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum). We constructed A. paspali strains defective in the molybdenum nitrogenase so that alternative N(2)ases could be studied. The cosmid vector pTBE and genomic DNA fragments ( approximately 50 kb) of A. paspali A...
