Proteases from the regenerating gut of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix.

PLoS ONE 8(3) , e58433, (2013)

Four proteases with molecular masses of 132, 58, 53, and 47 kDa were detected in the digestive system of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. These proteases displayed the gelatinase activity and characteristics of zinc metalloproteinases. The 58 kDa protea...

Actin retrograde flow and actomyosin II arc contraction drive receptor cluster dynamics at the immunological synapse in Jurkat T cells.

Mol. Biol. Cell 23 , 834-52, (2012)

Actin retrograde flow and actomyosin II contraction have both been implicated in the inward movement of T cell receptor (TCR) microclusters and immunological synapse formation, but no study has integrated and quantified their relative contributions. Using Jur...

A chymotrypsin from the Digestive Tract of California Spiny Lobster, Panulirus interruptus: Purification and Biochemical Characterization.

Mar. Biotechnol. 17 , 416-27, (2015)

A chymotrypsin was purified from the gastric juice of California spiny lobster (Panulirus interrutpus), using preparative electrophoresis and affinity chromatography on agarose-p-aminobenzamidine. The molecular mass was estimated by polyacrylamide gel electro...

A new antibiotic kills pathogens without detectable resistance.

Nature 517(7535) , 455-9, (2015)

Antibiotic resistance is spreading faster than the introduction of new compounds into clinical practice, causing a public health crisis. Most antibiotics were produced by screening soil microorganisms, but this limited resource of cultivable bacteria was over...

Separation of monosaccharides hydrolyzed from glycoproteins without the need for derivatization.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 407 , 5453-62, (2015)

Chromatographic separation of monosaccharides hydrolyzed from glycoconjugates or complex, aggregate biomaterials, can be achieved by classic analytical methods without a need for derivatizing the monosaccharide subunits. A simple and sensitive method is prese...

Effects of surface passivation on gliding motility assays.

PLoS ONE 6(6) , e19522, (2011)

In this study, we report differences in the observed gliding speed of microtubules dependent on the choice of bovine casein used as a surface passivator. We observed differences in both speed and support of microtubules in each of the assays. Whole casein, co...

Proteomic quantification of disulfide-linked polymers in raw and heated bovine milk.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 58 , 7437-7444, (2010)

Disulfide bond formation between milk protein molecules was quantified in raw and heated bovine milk using reducing and nonreducing two-dimensional electrophoresis. Analysis of protein profiles in raw milk indicated that 18% of alpha(S2)-casein, 25% of beta-l...

The major proteins of bovine seminal plasma interact with caseins and whey proteins of milk extender.

Biol. Reprod. 85 , 457-464, (2011)

Milk has been used routinely as an extender for sperm preservation. Caseins, the major proteins in milk, are proposed to be the protective constituents of milk during sperm preservation. It is unclear whether the whey proteins in milk are also implicated in t...

Milk lacking α-casein leads to permanent reduction in body size in mice.

PLoS ONE 6(7) , e21775, (2011)

The major physiological function of milk is the transport of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids and minerals to mammalian offspring. Caseins, the major milk proteins, are secreted in the form of a micelle consisting of protein and calcium-phosphate.We have an...

Casein aggregates built step-by-step on charged polyelectrolyte film surfaces are calcium phosphate-cemented.

J. Biol. Chem. 285(50) , 38811-7, (2010)

The possible mechanism of casein aggregation and micelle buildup was studied in a new approach by letting α-casein adsorb from low concentration (0.1 mg·ml(-1)) solutions onto the charged surfaces of polyelectrolyte films. It was found that α-casein could ads...
