1. Produção e caracterização de proteínas do complexo celulolítico de Trichoderma harzianum e T.reesei, envolvidas na hidrólise enzimática da biomassa / Production and Characterization of proteins from the cellulolytic cocktail of Trichoderma harzianum e T.reesei, involved in enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass.
Celulases têm atraído muito interesse nos últimos anos devido a sua habilidade na bioconversão de material lignocelulolítico em glucose, a qual pode, então, ser convertida a etanol por fermentação. O complexo celulolítico capaz de degradar a celulose consiste de várias enzimas (principalmente celulases e β-glucosidases) e proteínas auxiliador

2. Muscle fiber type distribution and genotype correlation in the Pompe disease / Distribuição do tipo de fibras musculares e sua correlação genotípica na doença de Pompe
A doença de Pompe (GSDII), autossômica recessiva, é causada pela deficiência da enzima lisossomal que degrada o glicogênio, -glucosidase ácida (GAA). O quadro clínico varia de acordo com a idade de início da doença, grau de progressão e envolvimento dos tecidos: predominantemente cardíaco e muscular esquelético na forma de início-precoce (FIP) e

3. alfa e b-glucosidases como alvos moleculares para desenvolvimento de fármacos
Glucosidases are involved in key steps in the processing of oligosaccharides by cleaving O-glucose residues. Since they catalyze breaking and transfer reactions of glucosidic groups for the normal growth and development of all the cells, defects or genetic deficiencies in these enzymes are associated with serious disorders of the carbohydrate metabolism.

4. Cloning of a rat kidney cDNA that stimulates dibasic and neutral amino acid transport and has sequence similarity to glucosidases.
The transport of amino acids across cell membranes is believed to be mediated by integral membrane proteins with distinct substrate specificities. Using expression cloning in Xenopus oocytes and assaying for the uptake of 14C-labeled cystine, we isolated a 2.3-kilobase cDNA (D2) from a rat kidney library. D2 is expressed specifically in kidney and intestine

5. Analysis of the critical sites for protein thermostabilization by proline substitution in oligo-1,6-glucosidase from Bacillus coagulans ATCC 7050 and the evolutionary consideration of proline residues.
To identify the critical sites for protein thermostabilization by proline substitution, the gene for oligo-1,6- glucosidase from a thermophilic Bacillus coagulans strain, ATCC 7050, was cloned as a 2.4-kb DNA fragment and sequenced. In spite of a big difference in their thermostabilities, B. coagulans oligo-1,6-glucosidase had a large number of points in its

6. Characterization of a genetic locus essential for maltose-maltotriose utilization in Staphylococcus xylosus.
A genetic locus from Staphylococcus xylosus involved in maltose-maltotriose utilization has been characterized. The chromosomal region was identified by screening a genomic library of S. xylosus in Escherichia coli for sucrose hydrolase activity. Nucleotide sequence analysis yielded two open reading frames (malR and malA) encoding proteins of 37.7 and 62.5 k

7. Role of N-linked oligosaccharide recognition, glucose trimming, and calnexin in glycoprotein folding and quality control.
Using a pulse-chase approach combined with immunoprecipitation, we showed that newly synthesized influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) and vesicular stomatitis virus G protein associate transiently during their folding with calnexin, a membrane-bound endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone. Inhibitors of N-linked glycosylation (tunicamycin) and glucosidases I and

8. Enzymatic profile of Pseudomonas maltophilia.
An enzymatic profile of 20 strains of Pseudomonas maltophilia was undertaken with conventional plate tests, API ZYM, and 4-methylumbelliferyl-conjugated substrates. All strains produced DNase, RNase, arbutinase, esterases and lipases, mucinase, acid and alkaline phosphatases, alkaline pyrophosphate diesterase, phosphoamidase, beta-glucosidase, leucine arylam

9. Cloning of genes encoding alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase and beta-xylosidase from Trichoderma reesei by expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A cDNA expression library of Trichoderma reesei RutC-30 was constructed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two genes, abf1 and bxl1, were isolated by screening the yeast library for extracellular alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase activity with the substrate p-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside. The genes abf1 and bxl1 encode 500 and 758 amino acids, respect

10. Effects of Interferon, Ribavirin, and Iminosugar Derivatives on Cells Persistently Infected with Noncytopathic Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
Persistent infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis in humans. In chronic carriers, the viral infection induces liver damage that predisposes the patient for cirrhosis and can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma. Current chemotherapies are limited to alpha interferon (IFN-α) used either alone or in combination with ribavirin

11. Transient, lectin-like association of calreticulin with folding intermediates of cellular and viral glycoproteins.
The soluble, calcium-binding protein calreticulin shares high sequence homology with calnexin, a transmembrane chaperone of glycoprotein folding. Our experiments demonstrated that calreticulin, like calnexin, associated transiently with numerous newly synthesized proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. The population of proteins that bound to calreticulin was

12. Rutin-induced beta-glucosidase activity in Streptococcus faecium VGH-1 and Streptococcus sp. strain FRP-17 isolated from human feces: formation of the mutagen, quercetin, from rutin.
A fecal isolate, Streptococcus sp. strain FRP-17, and strain VGH-1 of Streptococcus faecium were shown to contain beta-glucosidases which converted rutin (quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucose-alpha-L-rhamnose) to quercetin and were active against o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-glucose. The activity against rutin could be measured by increased mutagenicity in the Ames assay or
