Protein-ligand Binding Data Integration for “diabetes Disease Related Studies” in Different Organism

Protein-Ligand Binding Data of Diabetes Disease Related Studies is fashioned to provide the amino acid compositions of the following organisms in the ligand binding environment: Escherichia coli, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Oryctolagus cuniculus, Rattus norvegicus, Sus scrofa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Spodoptera frugiperda. The physico-chemical properties and quantum mechanical descriptors ...

Phylogenetic Analysis and Taste Cell Expression of Calpain 9 in Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, play important roles in calcium-regulated intra-cellular signal transduction cascades. Here we report the isolation and initial characterization of a cDNA encoding a calpain 9, digestive tract specific calpain, from catfish taste epithelium. This calpain 9 (Ip-CAPN9a) shares 61% identity with human calpain 9. Phylogenetic analysis provides evid...

Sequence Analysis of the Full-length cDNA and Protein Structure Homology Modeling of FABP2 from Paralichthys Olivaceus

Using zebrafish intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) mRNA sequence as the initial query probe, four highly homologous Paralichthys olivaceus EST sequences were retrieved from Genbank database. The assembled full-length cDNA contains the open reading frame of P. olivaceus FABP2 gene, which was validated by subsequent RT-PCR cloning. In the coding region, the average GC content is 56%,...

TWIST1 Gene: First Insights in Felis catus

TWIST1 is thought to be a novel oncogene. Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the TWIST1 gene expression profiles in tumor cells may give new insights regarding prognostic factors and novel therapeutic targets in veterinary oncology. In the present study we partially isolated the TWIST1 gene in Felis catus and performed comparative studies. Several primer combinations were used ba...
