The FMDV L protein is located at the N terminus of the polyprotein and is the first gene product released from the nascent polyprotein. The leader L protease which is involved in pathogenesis has two known functions: (i) auto-catalytic removal from the N terminus of the viral polyprotein and (ii) cleavage of the p220 subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4F complex, which helps to shut off host protein synthesis.

Abstract:
The highly conserved ATP-dependent Lon protease plays important roles in diverse biological processes. The lon gene is usually nonessential for viability; however, lon mutants of several bacterial species, although viable, exhibit cellular defects. Here, we show that a lack of Lon protease causes pleiotropic effects in the rice pathogen Burkholderia glumae. The null mutation of lon produced three colony types, big (BLONB), normal (BLONN), and small (BLONS), in Luria–Bertani (LB) medium. Colonies of the BLONB and BLONN types were re-segregated upon subculture, while those of the BLONS type were

ABSTRACT Vibrio cholerae strains of the O1 serogroup that typically cause epidemic cholera can be classified into two biotypes, classical and El Tor. The El Tor biotype emerged in 1961 and subsequently displaced the classical biotype as a cause of cholera throughout the world. In this study we demonstrate that when strains of the El Tor and classical biotypes were cocultured in standard LB medium, the El Tor strains clearly had a competitive growth advantage over the classical biotype starting from the late stationary phase and could eventually take over the population.

Abstract:
Summaryvon Willebrand factor (vWF) is a complex multimeric plasma glycoprotein, that plays a critical role in the mediation of platelet adhesion to the damaged vascular wall, and functions as a carrier protein for factor VIII. vWF has a domain structure consisting of repeated A, B, C, and D domains. The A1 domain is involved in binding to the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) lb, and the A3 domain has a binding site for collagen. A function of the A2 domain has not been described, although point mutations identified in von Willebrand disease (vWD) type 2A patients are localized in this domai

Abstract:
Seven lactobacilli and a variety of microflora extracted from twenty five commercial cheeses were grown on unsupplemented acid goat whey and screened for their capacity to hydrolyse whey proteins [α-lactalbumin (α-la) and β-lactoglobulin (β-lg)] and to generate peptides. Fermentations were performed aerobically or anaerobically at 37 °C using crude or pre-heated whey (10 min at 65, 75 or 85 °C). Under aerobic conditions, growth of lactobacilli was poor and protein hydrolysis did not occur. Anaerobic conditions slightly increased lactobacilli growth but neither β-lg hydrolysis nor peptide gener

Abstract:
Mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that overproduce the exopolysaccharide alginate are a frequent cause of chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The overproduction of alginate by these strains is often caused by mutations within mucA of the algU mucABCD gene cluster. This gene cluster encodes an extreme stress response system composed of the ECF alternative sigma factor AlgU, the anti-sigma factor MucA located in the inner membrane and the negative regulator MucB located in the periplasm. Most of the mutations in mucA found in mucoid strains cause a truncation

The HSP was hydrolyzed at a degree of 40% at 55 °C for 24 h, yielding a pH of 6.55, an acidity of 1.22%, and 205.45 mg% tyrosine equivalents.
