Oxidative stress response in an anaerobe, Bacteroides fragilis: a role for catalase in protection against hydrogen peroxide.
(East Carolina University, 1996-12)
Survival of Bacteroides fragilis in the presence of oxygen was dependent on the ability of bacteria to synthesize
new proteins, as determined by the inhibition of protein synthesis after oxygen exposure. The B. fragilis ...
Regulation of Bacteriodes fragilis katB mRNA by oxidative stress and carbon limitation.
(East Carolina University, 1997-11)
Regulation of the katB catalase gene in the anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides fragilis was studied. Northern
blot hybridization analyses revealed that katB was transcribed as an approximately 1.6-kb monocistronic
mRNA. The ...
The pseudorabies virus UL28 protein enters the nucleus after coexpression with the herpes simplex virus UL15 protein
(East Carolina University, 1997-12)
Herpesvirus DNA is packaged into capsids in the nuclei of infected cells in a process requiring at least six
viral proteins. Of the proteins required for encapsidation of viral DNA, UL15 and UL28 are the most conserved
among ...
Molecular basis for the immunosuppressive action of stearic acid on T cells.
(East Carolina University, 1990-07)
Studies were performed to determine the mechanism by which stearic acid (18: 0) selectively inhibits T-dependent immune responses in vitro. Incubation of mitogen-activated B and T cells with 18:0 resulted in dissimilar ...
The ornithine decarboxylase gene odc is required for alcaligin siderophore biosynthesis in Bordetella spp.: putrescine is a precursor of alcaligin.
(East Carolina University, 1996-01)
Chromosomal insertions defining Bordetella bronchiseptica siderophore phenotypic complementation group III mutants BRM3 and BRM5 were found to reside approximately 200 to 300 bp apart by restriction mapping of cloned genomic ...
Absence of unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in murine T lymphocytes.
(East Carolina University, 1989-08)
Stearic acid is toxic for T lymphocytes in vitro but has little effect on B lymphocytes. To investigate the molecular basis for this difference, purified murine T and B lymphocytes were compared for their abilities to ...
Bordetella pertussis fur gene restores iron repressibility of siderophore and protein expression to deregulated Bordetella bronchiseptica mutants.
(East Carolina University, 1995-01)
We report the isolation and preliminary phenotypic characterization of manganese-resistant Bordetella bronchiseptica mutants with respect to deregulation of siderophore and iron-regulated protein expression. The fur gene ...
Familial cryptic translocation resulting in Angelman syndrome:implications for imprinting or location of the Angelman gene?
(East Carolina University, 1996-04)
Angelman syndrome (AS) is associated with a loss of maternal genetic information, which typically occurs as a result of a deletion at 15ql1-q13 or paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15. We report a patient with AS ...
Fine Structure of the Motile Cells and Flagella in a Member of the Actinoplanaceae (Actinomycetales)
(East Carolina University, 1970-11)
The motile cells (sporangiospores) of an undescribed member of the Actinoplanaceae are studied by electron microscopy as shadowed, negatively stained, and sectioned preparations. The rod-shaped spores exhibit a typically ...
Is type II diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) a surgical disease?
(East Carolina University, 1992-06)
Since February 1, 1980, 515 morbidly obese patients have undergone
the Greenville gastric bypass (GGB) operation. Of these,
212 (41.2%) were euglycemic, 288 (55.9%) were either diabetic
or had glucose intolerance, and ...
