CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LARGEST SECRETORY PROTEIN FAMILY, RICIN B LECTIN-LIKE PROTEIN, IN NOSEMA BOMBYCIS: INSIGHTS INTO MICROSPORIDIAN ADAPTATION TO HOST

Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular pathogens infecting nearly all animal phyla.The microsporidian Nosema bombycis has been isolated from several lepidopteran species, including the economy-important silkworms as well as several crop pests.Proteins secreted by parasites can be important virulent factors in modulating host pathways.R

Abstract Background A number of membrane-spanning proteins possess enzymatic activity and catalyze important reactions involving proteins, lipids or other substrates located within or near lipid bilayers.Alkaline ceramidases are seven-transmembrane proteins that hydrolyze the amide bond in ceramide to form sphingosine.Recently, a group of putative

Abstract Background As the health implications of climate change become more apparent, agencies and institutions across the United States are developing recommendations for state and territorial health agencies (S/THAs) to implement evidence-informed climate and health adaptation strategies.The CDC established the Building Resilience Against Climat

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is an inherited disorder that affects one in between 8,500 and 14,000 people read more and is characterized by a triad of clinical signs.These include micrognathia, glossoptosis and obstruction of the upper airway, typically associated with palatal cleft.PRS has also been associated with various ocular complications, inc

Opting for the right supplier is critical for a firm’s prosperity due to the impact of decisions made on uncertainty in symmetrical decision factors like pricing, manufacturing, service efficiency, and client satisfaction.Deciding on an appropriate supplier can be problematic because there are many considerations to consider, and they occasi
