The protein architecture in Bacteria and Archaea identifies a set of promiscuous and ancient domains
(Public Library of Science, 2019-12-19)In this work, we describe a systematic comparative genomic analysis of promiscuous domains in genomes of Bacteria and Archaea. A quantitative measure of domain promiscuity, the weighted domain architecture score (WDAS), ... -
Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) Mining and Their Effect on the Tridimensional Protein Structure Prediction in a Set of Immunity-Related Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-02-27)Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single genetic code variations considered one of the most common forms of nucleotide modifications. Such SNPs can be located in genes associated to immune response and, therefore, ... -
Interleukin-35 inhibits alveolar bone resorption by modulating the Th17/Treg imbalance during periodontitis
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2020-04)Aim T lymphocytes play a central role during the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and the imbalance between the pathogenic T-helper type 17 (Th17) and protective T-regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes determines the tooth-supporting ... -
Evolution of Predicted Acid Resistance Mechanisms in the Extremely Acidophilic Leptospirillum Genus
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-04)Organisms that thrive in extremely acidic environments (<= pH 3.5) are of widespread importance in industrial applications, environmental issues, and evolutionary studies. Leptospirillum spp. constitute the only extremely ... -
A HaloTag-TEV genetic cassette for mechanical phenotyping of proteins from tissues
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-04-28)Single-molecule methods using recombinant proteins have generated transformative hypotheses on how mechanical forces are generated and sensed in biological tissues. However, testing these mechanical hypotheses on proteins ... -
Draft Genome Sequence of Blautia luti DSM 14534(T), Isolated from Human Stool
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05)Here, we report the draft sequence of Blautia luti strain DSM 14534T, originally isolated from human feces. This draft contains 74 contigs, comprising 3,718,760 bp with a G+C content of 42.87%. The annotated draft contains ... -
Boldine inhibits the alveolar bone resorption during ligature-induced periodontitis by modulating the Th17/Treg imbalance
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-06)Background During periodontitis, tooth-supporting alveolar bone is resorbed when there is an increased expression of the pro-osteolytic factor termed receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), which is ... -
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Induces Autophagy in Human Junctional Epithelium Keratinocytes
(MDPI, 2020-05)The adverse environmental conditions found in the periodontium during periodontitis pathogenesis stimulate local autophagy responses, mainly due to a continuous inflammatory response against the dysbiotic subgingival ... -
Nutrient dose-responsive transcriptome changes driven by Michaelis Menten kinetics underlie plant growth rates
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-06-09)An increase in nutrient dose leads to proportional increases in crop biomass and agricultural yield. However, the molecular underpinnings of this nutrient dose-response are largely unknown. To investigate, we assayed changes ... -
Transient genome-wide interactions of the master transcription factor NLP7 initiate a rapid nitrogen-response cascade
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-03-02)Dynamic reprogramming of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) enables organisms to rapidly respond to environmental perturbation. However, the underlying transient interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and genome-wide ... -
A balancing act: how plants integrate nitrogen and water signals
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07-25)Nitrogen (N) and water (W) are crucial inputs for plant survival as well as costly resources for agriculture. Given their importance, the molecular mechanisms that plants rely on to signal changes in either N or W status ... -
IL-22-expressing CD4(+)AhR(+) T lymphocytes are associated with RANKL-mediated alveolar bone resorption during experimental periodontitis
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2019-10)Background and Objective Over the past few years, the importance of interleukin-22 (IL-22) and T-helper (Th)22 lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of periodontitis has become apparent; however, there are still aspects that are ... -
Engineering a single-chain antibody against Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes to block cell invasion
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2019-10-16)Trypanosoma cruzi is a flagellate protozoan pathogen that causes Chagas disease. Currently there is no preventive treatment and the efficiency of the two drugs available is limited to the acute phase. Therefore, there is ... -
