The membrane-bound component of the phosphotransferase system of Escherichia coli, responsible for the phosphorylative uptake of methyl-alpha-D-glucoside has an essential thiol group which becomes available to inactivation by thiol reagents in the presence of the phosphate-accepting sugar or when phospho...

Antibiotic resistance has been an ongoing challenge that has emerged almost immediately after the initial discovery of antibiotics and requires the development of innovative new antibiotics and antibiotic combinations that can effectively mitigate the de
Peroxisomes contain two potential enzymatic sources of O2− and NO, namely xanthine oxidase and the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase. Xanthine oxidase (XDH) is an enzyme that produces H2O2 (see Section 2.1.1.) and O2− as byproducts of its catalytic cycle [32]. In addition, this...
Male Sprague-Dawley rats received multiple intracutaneous injections of an immuno-agent along with a pertussis-diphtheria-tetanus triple vaccine for autoimmune CP/CPPS development. The results revealed that, in CP/CPPS patients with significant MHD, elevated IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-13, and...
The existence has been reported of an enzyme with peroxidase activity called phospholipid hydroperoxidase GPx, which is capable of reducing lipid hydroperoxides without the action of phospholipase A2 [22]. In addition, different oxidoreductases that catalyze reduction reactions of thiol and other protei...
mRNA expression of interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-6 as M1 and arginase-1, FIZZ-1, and MHC-II as M2 markers were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Cytokine levels were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The M1 phenotype was upregulated in BD ...

Even after successful extinction, conditioned fear can return. Strengthening the consolidation of the fear-inhibitory safety memory formed during extinction is one way to counteract return of fear. In a previous study, we found that post-extinction L-DOP
(TRAP), an enzyme produced by osteoclasts, and both control and Panx1ΔOtmice showed increased levels of the osteoclastic genes DCSTAMP (dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein) and NFATC1 (Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1) mRNA compared to young mice. Deletion of Panx1...
