2. 1. Xylan degradation by the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus. Characterization and function of a thermostable xylanase

   Author : Eva Nordberg Karlsson; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fed-batch cultivation; kraft pulp; bleaching; glycosyl hydrolase family 10; recombinant xylanase; polysaccharide binding domain; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : A gene encoding a multidomain xylanase from the thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus has been cloned, sequenced and produced in Escherichia coli . The gene product was found to be a 109 kDa protein consisting of five domains. READ MORE

4. 2. Developmental role and ligand binding properties of macrophage scavenger receptor MARCO

   Author : Yunying Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Macrophages express several cell surface receptors, that mediate the recognition of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous ligands. In this manner, macrophages are able to perform their multiple biological functions in regulation of homeostasis and host defense. READ MORE

5. 3. Protein recognition domains in heparan sulfate

   Author : Emadoldin Feyzi Talarposhti; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; heparan sulfate; heparin; structure; growth factors; herpes simplex virus; antithrombin; aging; regulation; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical and Physiological Chemistry; medicinsk och fysiologisk kemi;

   Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) implicated in various physiological and pathological processes such as cell proliferation, viral infection and inhibition of blood coagulation. These effects are due to interactions of HS with proteins. READ MORE

6. 4. New roles for apical secretion and extracellular matrix assembly in Drosophila epithelial morphogenesis

   Author : Satish Arcot Jayaram; Christos Samakovlis; Catherine Rabouille; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

   Abstract : Branched tubular organs, such as the lung and vascular system fulfill the respiratory needs of most animals. Optimal tissue function relies on the uniform sizes and shapes of the constituting branches in each organ. READ MORE

7. 5. Regulation of Heparan Sulfate 6-O-Sulfation Patterns

   Author : Anh-Tri Do; Marion Kusche-Gullberg; Ulf Lindahl; Malcolm Lyon; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Biochemistry; Heparan Sulfate; Biosynthesis; 6-O-sulfation; 6-O-sulfotransferases; 6-O-endosulfatases; Nematostella; Biokemi;

   Abstract : Heparan sulfates (HSs) are linear, negatively charged polysaccharides composed of alternating hexuronic acid (glucuronic acid or iduronic acid) and glucosamine residues that can be substituted to varying degrees with sulfate groups. HS, localized in the extracellular matrix and on the surface of most cells, interacts with a large number of proteins. READ MORE
