Immature rat testis sustained long-term development using an integrative model

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Xenotransplantation has been primarily performed using fresh donor tissue to study testicular development for about 20 years, and whether the cultured tissue would be a suitable donor is unclear. In this study, we combined testicular culture and xenotransplantation into an integrative model a...

Resonant Recognition Model Study for Interactions between SARS CoV 2 and Human Proteins

Rev. cuba. inform. méd; 13 (1), 2021
This study was devoted to the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) analysis of SARS-CoV-2 proteins and their possible interaction with other human proteins, specifically, SARS CoV replicases and methyl transferases, were tested, via RRM analysis, for possible interactions with host CD4 T receptor proteins an...

Role of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and 16S rRNA methylase (ArmA) in resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates against aminoglycosides

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine the role of genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs) and 16S rRNA methylase (ArmA) in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. METHODS: We collected 100 clinical isolates of A. baumannii and identified and confirmed them using micro...

Spatio-temporal expression profile of Mettl3/Mettl14 during mouse retina development

Int. j. morphol; 38 (6), 2020
SUMMARY: The Mettl3/Mettl14 methyltransferase complex installs the most ubiquitous internal mRNA modification- N6-methyladenosine (m6A). The vertebrate retina development is a multi-step process that requires fine-tuning of multiple cellular events, but very little is known about the potential function o...

Nicotinamide activates latent HIV-1 ex vivo in ART suppressed individuals, revealing higher potency than the association of two methyltransferase inhibitors, chaetocin and BIX01294

Braz. j. infect. dis; 24 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Latent HIV-1 is a major hurdle in obtaining HIV-1 sustained virological remission (SVR). Here we explored histone deacetylation inhibition property of nicotinamide (NAM; n = 17) for the first time in comparison to a combination of methyltransferase inhibitors (MTIs; Chaetocin and BI...

Variantes genéticas de la tiopurina metiltransferasa e incidencia de eventos adversos en pacientes con indicación de azatioprina
Genetic polymorphisms of thiopurine methyltransferase and incidence of adverse events in patients with medical indication of azathioprine

Medicina (B.Aires); 78 (2), 2018
La azatioprina es una tiopurina que presenta rango terapéutico estrecho y marcada toxicidad hematológica y hepática. La tiopurina S-metiltransferasa es una enzima que metaboliza ese grupo de drogas. Mutaciones en el gen que codifica dicha enzima aumentan el riesgo de presentar eventos adversos, por lo...

Polimorfismos del gen Arsénico 3 Metiltransferasa (As3MT) y la eficiencia urinaria del metabolismo del arsénico en una población del norte de México

RESUMEN El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la relación de los polimorfismos rs11191439 y rs3740393 del gen Arsénico 3 Metiltransferasa (As3MT) con los perfiles de excreción urinaria de arsénico, en una población del norte de México. Se realizó un estudio transversal con 102 participantes de 14 a ...

Optimization of RT-PCR reactions in studies with genes of lignin biosynthetic route in Saccharum spontaneum

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Saccharum spontaneum has been used for the development of energy cane a crop aimed to be used for the production of second-generation ethanol, or lignocellulosic ethanol. Lignin is a main challenge in the conversion of cell wall sugars into ethanol. In our studies to isolate the genes the lignin...

Caracterização de 16s rRNA metiltransferases produzidas por bacilos gram-negativos isolados em diversos hospitais do Estado de São Paulo

Os aminoglicosídeos (AGs) são antimicrobianos utilizados no tratamento de infecções graves causadas por bacilos Gram-negativos (BGNs), e são umas das poucas opções terapêuticas contra microrganismos multirresistentes no ambiente hospitalar. Contudo, há diversos relatos da produção de enzimas.....
