The OxyR and SoxR transcriptional regulators are involved in a broad oxidative stress response in Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Aerobic metabolism generates reactive oxygen species that may cause critical harm to the cell. The aim of this study is the characterization of the stress responses in the model aromatic degrading bacterium Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 to the oxidizing agents paraquat and H 2 O2. METHODS...

Improvement of polyhydroxybutyrate production by deletion of csrA in Escherichia coli

BACKGROUND: Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) can be efficiently produced in recombinant Escherichia coli by the overexpression of an operon (NphaCAB) encoding PHB synthetase. Strain improvement is considered to be one of critical factors to lower the production cost of PHB in recombinant system. In this stud...

Methylation status of the PPP1R13L promoter region among lung cancer patients and healthy controls. Analytical cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 137 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There is evidence that genetic predisposition and epigenetic alteration (e.g. DNA methylation) play major roles in lung cancer. In our genetic epidemiological studies, rs1970764 in oncogene PPP1R13L was most consistently associated with lung cancer risk. Here, we explored the role ...

Diagnostic utility of DREAM gene mRNA levels in thyroid tumours

ABSTRACT Objective The transcriptional repressor DREAM is involved in thyroid-specific gene expression, thyroid enlargement and nodular development, but its clinical utility is still uncertain. In this study we aimed to investigate whether DREAM mRNA levels differ in different thyroid tumors and how thi...

Caracterização da proteína quinase C Beta I nuclear em células tronco embrionárias

As proteína quinases C (PKC) pertencem à família das serina/treonina quinases, que vem sendo apontadas como importantes enzimas para os processos de proliferação e diferenciação das células tronco embrionárias (CTE), todavia, a função exata de cada isoforma dessa família ainda não está clar...
