  2. 16. The Role of Proteases in Plant Development

    Author : Maribel Garcia-Lorenzo; Christiane Funk; Zach Adam; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Comparative genomics; protease; PCD; leaf senescence; FtsH; Arabidopsis; Populus; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Proteases play key roles in plants, maintaining strict protein quality control and degrading specific sets of proteins in response to diverse environmental and developmental stimuli. Similarities and differences between the proteases expressed in different species may give valuable insights into their physiological roles and evolution. READ MORE

  4. 17. Deg/HtrA proteases of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 : from biochemical characterization to their physiological functions

    Author : Xuân Tâm Lâm; Christiane Funk; Jörg Nickelsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Deg; HtrA; protease; chaperone; Synechocystis sp. PCC 6903; biochemical characterization; physiological function; proteomics; structure;

    Abstract : The family of Deg/HtrA proteases is present in a wide range of organisms from bacteria, archaea to eukaryota. These ATP-independent serine endopeptidases play key roles in the cellular protein quality control. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. READ MORE

  5. 18. Characterization of auxiliary membrane proteins in the chloroplast of Arabidopsis thaliana

    Author : Lotta von Sydow; Christiane Funk; Wolfgang Schröder; Thomas Pfannschmidt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis; chaperone; chloroplast; Cytochrome b559; FtsH; membrane proteins; photosynthesis; Photosystem II; protease; PsbY.; Arabidopsis; chaperone; Cytochrome b559; fotosyntes; fotosystem II; FtsH; kloroplast; membranprotein; proteas; PsbY.; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : In nature, sessile plants have to adapt to their environment and to the never ending changes they are exposed to. They do so mainly by proteomic and metabolomic changes. In all cells, there are complex networks of auxiliary proteins that are responsible for quality control of all the cell's proteins. READ MORE

  6. 19. Streptococcal immunoglobulin degrading enzymes of the IdeS and IgdE family

    Author : Christian Spoerry; Ulrich von Pawel-Rammingen; Heiko Herwald; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Streptococcus; S. pyogenes; S. agalactiae; S. suis; S. porcinus; S. pseudoporcinus; S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus; protease; immunoglobulin; immune evasion; IdeS; IgdE; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Bacteria of the genus Streptococcus are common asymptomatic colonisers of humans and animals. As opportunistic pathogens they can however, depending on their host’s immune status and other circumstances, cause mild to very severe infections. READ MORE

  7. 20. Surface proteins of Finegoldia magna interacting with the human host

    Author : Christofer Karlsson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Finegoldia magna; Gram-positive anaerobic cocci; surface proteins; protease; LL-37; MIG CXCL9; Fibrinogen; adhesion; gene disruption; bacterial aggregation; basement membranes;

    Abstract : Finegoldia magna is a Gram-positive anaerobe and a member of the normal human microflora. This bacterium is also an opportunistic pathogen and isolated from ~10% of all anaerobic infections. Reoccurring taxonomical changes and the anaerobic growth have contributed to the neglect of F. magna. READ MORE
