A tomato tocopherol-binding protein sheds light on intracellular a-tocopherol metabolism in plants
(Oxford University Press, 2018-11)Tocopherols are non-polar compounds synthesized in the plastids, which function as major antioxidants of the plant cells and are essential in the human diet. Both the intermediates and final products of the tocopherol ... -
Apparent digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, protein and energy of native Peruvian feedstuffs in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(BioMed Central, 2018)Trout production is a growing activity in recent years but requires new alternative sources of feed to be sustainable over time. The objective of this research was to determine the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) ... -
Brucella spp. Lumazine synthase as a novel immunomodulator to produce egg yolk antibodies
(Scientific Research, 2012-02)Lumazine synthase from Brucella spp. (BLS) is a highly immunogenic decameric protein. It has been previously described as a carrier of peptides or proteins to increase their immunogenicity in different animal species, but ... -
Comparison of transient and stable expression of foot-and-mouth disease virus capsid proteins in mammalian cells
(Scientific Research, 2013-12)Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious disease that produces severe economic losses in the livestock industry. This disease is being controlled by the use of an inactivated vaccine. However, the use of recombinant ... -
Evaluación de proteínas de una isla de patogenicidad y de envolturas bacterianas de Escherichia coli 0157:H7 como vacunas para reducir su incidencia en bovinos
(Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2015-11)Escherichia coli enterohemorrágico (EHEC) es un patógeno que puede causar diarrea, colitis hemorrágica, y síndrome urémico hemolítico (SUH), una enfermedad sistémica grave que afecta principalmente a los niños. En Argentina ... -
Identification and characterization of soluble binding proteins associated with host foraging in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos, 2021-06)The communication and reproduction of insects are driven by chemical sensing. During this process, chemical compounds are transported across the sensillum lymph to the sensory neurons assisted by different types of soluble ... -
Identification of four novel DC-SIGN ligands on Mycobacterium bovis BCG
(Springer, 2010-09)Dendritic-cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN; CD209) has an important role in mediating adherence of Mycobacteria species, including M. tuberculosis and M. bovis BCG to human ... -
In vivo subcellular localization of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) non-structural proteins in insect cells reveals their putative functions
(Elsevier, 2012-09)The in vivo subcellular localization of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV, Fijivirus, Reoviridae) non-structural proteins fused to GFP was analyzed by confocal microscopy. P5-1 showed a cytoplasmic vesicular-like distribution ... -
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus non-structural protein VP5 is not a transmembrane protein
(Elsevier, 2015-09)Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) causes a highly relevant poultry disease that affects young chickens causing, among other effects, immunosuppression. IBDV is a bi-segmented double stranded RNA virus. The smaller ORF ... -
Mycobacterial MCE proteins as transporters that control lipid homeostasis of the cell wall
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Mammalian cell entry (mce) genes are not only present in genomes of pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the causative agent of tuberculosis), but also in saprophytic and opportunistic mycobacterial ... -
Novel Effector Protein EspY3 of Type III Secretion System from Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Is Localized in Actin Pedestals
(MDPI AG, 2018)Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are attaching and effacing (A/E) pathogens, which translocate effector proteins to intestinal enterocytes through a type III secretion ... -
On how to identify a seminal fluid protein : a response to Wigby et al.
(Wiley, 2022-08)The choice of criteria to delimit a group or class is a subjective matter, even though the reasoning, the objectives, and the criteria themselves should always be clearly stated. This paper is part of a discussion about ... -
Prediction of aquaporin function by integrating evolutionary and functional analyses
(Springer, 2014-02)Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of channel proteins, which transport water and/or small solutes across cell membranes. AQPs are present in Bacteria, Eukarya, and Archaea. The classical AQP evolution paradigm explains the ... -
Rapid and cost-effective process based on insect larvae for scale-up production of SARS-COV-2 spike protein for serological COVID-19 testing
(Wiley, 2021-10)Serology testing for COVID-19 is important in evaluating active immune response against SARS-CoV-2, studying the antibody kinetics, and monitoring reinfections with genetic variants and new virus strains, in particular, ... -
Research gaps and new insights in the evolution of Drosophila seminal fluid proteins
(Wiley, 2021-11)While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a ... -
Study of the in vivo role of Mce2R, the transcriptional regulator of mce2 operon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(BMC, 2013-09)Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality throughout the world. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent of human tuberculosis, has developed strategies involving proteins and other compounds called ... -
Systems biology analysis of temporal in vivo Brucella melitensis and bovine transcriptomes predicts host : pathogen protein–protein interactions
(2017-07)To date, fewer than 200 gene-products have been identified as Brucella virulence factors, and most were characterized individually without considering how they are temporally and coordinately expressed or secreted during ... -
The P0 protein encoded by cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) inhibits local but not systemic RNA silencing
(2014-02)Plants employ RNA silencing as a natural defense mechanism against viruses. As a counter-defense, viruses encode silencing suppressor proteins (SSPs) that suppress RNA silencing. Most, but not all, the P0 proteins encoded ... -
