Heterologous production and characterization of a thermostable GH10 family endo-xylanase from Pycnoporus sanguineus BAFC 2126
(Elsevier, 2018-04)Xylanases are key enzymes for agricultural biomass saccharification for the production of cellulosic ethanol. Success in enzymatic lignocellulose bioconversion is restricted by enzyme production costs, activity and stability ... -
Sunflower germin-like protein HaGLP1 promotes ROS accumulation and enhances protection against fungal pathogens in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana
(Springer, 2015-10)Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of plant glycoproteins belonging to the Cupin super family. These proteins have been widely studied because of their diverse roles in important plant ... -
Double-layered rotavirus-like particles are efficient carriers to elicit strong CTL responses to delivered heterologous antigens
(Elsevier, 2014-11)The first 92 amino acids of VP2 of rotavirus are dispensable for VLP assembly and can be replaced by heterologous reporter proteins without affecting either self-assembly of chimeric VP2 or the interaction with VP6 to ... -
VP1 protein of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) impairs baculovirus surface display
(Elsevier, 2013-07)The Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) causes important economical losses in livestock farming. In order to develop a novel subunit vaccine against FMDV, we constructed recombinant baculoviruses that display the protein ... -
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 ... -
Association mapping in sunflower for sclerotinia head rot resistance
(BMC, 2012-06)Background: Sclerotinia Head Rot (SHR) is one of the most damaging diseases of sunflower in Europe, Argentina, and USA, causing average yield reductions of 10 to 20 %, but leading to total production loss under favorable ... -
Peanut seed cultivars with contrasting resistance to Aspergillus parasiticus colonization display differential temporal response of protease inhibitors
(American Phytopathological Society, 2017-04)Significant efforts are being made to minimize aflatoxin contamination in peanut seeds and one possible strategy is to understand and exploit the mechanisms of plant defense against fungal infection. In this study we have ... -
Lipoxygenase activation in peanut seed cultivars resistant and susceptible to Aspergillus parasiticus colonization
(American Phytopathological Society, 2014-12)Accumulative evidence indicates that the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway plays a significant role in the Aspergillus–seed interaction, such as interfering with activities of endogenous fungal oxylipins or producing antimicrobial ... -
Purification and characterization of a GH43 β-xylosidase from Enterobacter sp. identified and cloned from forest soil bacteria
(Elsevier, 2014-03)The use of lignocellulosic biomass for second generation biofuels requires optimization of enzymatic breakdown of plant cell walls. In this work, cellulolytic bacteria were isolated from a native and two cultivated forest ... -
Detección de un complejo clonal con el genotipo de Brucella abortus biovariedad 2 como fundador en aislamientos de B. abortus de Argentina = Detection of a clonal complex with Brucella abortus biovar 2 genotype as founder in B. abortus isolates from Argentina
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2013-12)Brucella abortus es el agente causal de la brucelosis bovina, enfermedad zoonótica que se encuentra ampliamente distribuida en el mundo. Actualmente existen ocho biovariedades de B. abortus. En Argentina se encuentra con ... -
Transient expression of VP2 in Nicotiana benthamiana and its use as a plant-based vaccine against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus
(Elsevier, 2013-05-28)Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) is the etiological agent of an immunosuppressive and highly contagious disease that affects young birds. This disease causes important economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. ... -
IFNG-mediated immune responses enhance autophagy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens in patients with active tuberculosis
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-11)Protective immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires IFNG. Besides, IFNG-mediated induction of autophagy suppresses survival of virulent Mtb in macrophage cell lines. We investigated the contribution of ... -
Virulence factors of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) consists of closely related species that cause tuberculosis in both humans and animals. This illness, still today, remains to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and ... -
Improving clustering with metabolic pathway data
(BMC, 2014-04)Background: It is a common practice in bioinformatics to validate each group returned by a clustering algorithm through manual analysis, according to a-priori biological knowledge. This procedure helps finding functionally ... -
Immunogenicity of hypothetical highly conserved proteins as novel antigens in Anaplasma marginale
(Springer, 2014-03)Anaplasma marginale is a tick-transmitted Gram-negative intraerythrocytic bacterium and the etiological agent of bovine Anaplasmosis. Even though considerable research efforts have been undertaken, Anaplasmosis vaccine ... -
Genome-wide data (ChIP-seq) enabled identification of cell wall-related and aquaporin genes as targets of tomato ASR1, a drought stress-responsive transcription factor
(BMC, 2014-01)Background: Identifying the target genes of transcription factors is important for unraveling regulatory networks in all types of organisms. Our interest was precisely to uncover the spectrum of loci regulated by a widespread ... -
Characterization of Cellulolytic Activities of Environmental Bacterial Consortia from an Argentinian Native Forest
