In general, treatments of cancer may involve medication, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Although these treatments are successful at a certain satisfactory level, their side effects are not acceptable for some patients. Thus, many researches have been investigated alternative methods to cure cancer. A technique of interest is the use of targeted drug therapy in which drug is designed to selectively kill only the cancer cells and to do no harm on the normal cells. Stapled α-helical peptide derived from mastermind-like I or SAHM1 is a small peptide which has been reported to have antiproliferative activity against cancer cells. However, its …

Brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) and seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membranes were used in the 2-stage reverse osmosis (RO) unit to recover, pre-purify, and pre-concentrate lactic acid. Calcium lactate (CaLAC), sodium lactate (NaLAC), and ammonium lactate (NH4LAC) were used as model feed solutions. The operating pressure showed a pronounced effect on lactate passage through the first BWRO unit, and the Donnan exclusion effect and hydrogen bonding were responsible for cation rejection. Calcium ions were rejected at the BWRO unit because of low diffusion rate and charge interaction at the surface. However, monovalent ions formed hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl group …

A free radicals can promote denaturing reactions in many cellular components, which create oxidative stress and it results to damage in body tissue. The free radicals can causing many diseases including heart diseases, Alzheimer, inflammation and cancer. This research aimed to investigate the effect of bioactive peptides derived from Synechococcus sp. cultured for 21 days on antioxidant, anti-inflammation and anticancer activities. The Synechococcus sp. protein hydrolysate was prepared by trypsin digest and purified by ultrafiltration with molecular weight cut off membranes of 10, 5 and 3 kDa. The MW <3 kDa fraction showed the highest NO, ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 34.51±9.8 µg protein/mL, IC50 11.54±0.3 µg protein/mL and IC50 13.63±0.15 µg protein/mL, respectively. The F2 fraction from gel filtration chromatography showed the strongest NO and ABTS radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 7.68±0.64 µg protein/mL and 9.74±0.2 µg protein/mL, respectively. The F2 was purified by RP-HPLC to yield four fractions. The 30 – 40 min sub-fraction (F2-4) was selected for further analysis by mass spectroscopy. Five isolated peptides with amino acid sequences of AILQSYSAGKTK; 1,265.69 Da, ALNKTHLIQTK; 1,265.74 Da, LLVHAPVK; 875.55 Da, IPDAHPVK; 875.48 Da and VVVLRDGAVQQLGTPR; 1,706.97 Da were identified. The F2-4 had higher DPPH and NO radical scavenging activity compared to the synthetic peptide. Moreover, AILQSYSAGKTK had the highest ABTS radical scavenging activity. Furthermore, the F2 fraction protected oxidation-induced DNA damage in pBR322, pKS and pUC19 cells. F2 fraction was selected to study anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Anti-inflammatory effect, F2 fraction showed no cytotoxicity toward RAW264.7 macrophage cells. RT-PCR and qRT-PCR results showed that F2 reduced gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines iNOS, TNF-α, COX-1, COX-2 and IL-6. For anticancer activity, F2 fraction showed high anticancer activities in the human colon cancer cells (SW620) according to cytotoxic activity (MTT assay), with IC50 values of 106.58±21.46 µg protein/mL. The F2 fraction activated the apoptotic pathway in SW620 cells after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The highest activities of caspases 3, 8 and 9 were observed after treatment for 72 hours. These findings suggested that unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. may be used to develop for natural anti-inflammation and natural anticancer drugs.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules are essential components for immune functions. There play a major role to present antigenic-peptide for T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition and immune activation. Association between HLA genes and infectious as well as autoimmune diseases are identified genetic risk factors. For instance, Behçet’s disease (BD) and systemic sclerosis (SSc) are autoimmunity result in chronic of multisystemic inflammation and visceral fibrosis, respectively. To investigate the link of HLAs correlated with self-peptides for BD and SSc, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied on the HLAp complexes. For BD, a self-peptide named MICA-TM was modeled for two BD-association such as …

Lactic acid has been extensively used in food, personal care, and pharmaceutical products. Besides, lactic acid can be used as the sole feedstock in the synthesis of polylactic acid (PLA), the biodegradable plastic. The demand of the bioplastics including PLA has been increased due to the environmental impact of petroleum based plastic; therefore, this expedited the market demand of lactic acid. It should be noted that the polymer grade lactic acid is unlike those commercially available products for food and pharmaceutical applications. The high purity of stereoisomer either D-lactate or L-lactate is mandatory in PLA polymerization. In addition, the production …

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has produced density maps of various resolutions. Although ά-helices can be detected from density maps at 5-8 angstrom resolutions, β-strands are challenging to detect at such density maps due to close-spacing of β-strands. The variety of shapes of β-sheets adds the complexity of β-strands detection from density maps. We propose a new approach to model traces of β-strands for β-barrel density regions that are extracted from cryo-EM density maps. In the test containing eight β-barrels extracted from experimental cryo-EM density maps at 5.5 angstrom-8.25 angstrom resolution, StrandRoller detected about 74.26% of the amino acids in the β-strands …

Three-dimensional density maps of biological specimens from cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can be interpreted in the form of atomic models that are modeled into the density, or they can be compared to known atomic structures. When the central axis of a helix is detectable in a cryo-EM density map, it is possible to quantify the agreement between this central axis and a central axis calculated from the atomic model or structure. We propose a novel arc-length association method to compare the two axes reliably. This method was applied to 79 helices in simulated density maps and six case studies using cryo-EM …

Actinomycetes are gram positive, filamentous bacteria that produce useful antibiotics, antitumor agents, and agricultural products. A series of enrichments were undertaken to isolate actinomycetes from local soils, varying enrichment media, antibacterials, and soil treatments (including heat and CaCO3). Isolates were characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing, phenotypic and morphological observations, and antibiotic production. The genetic tractability of select isolates was analyzed using a panel of integrating vectors derived from ɸC31, ɸBT1, and OzzyJ phage using intergeneric conjugation. Further, a semi-degenerate multiplex PCR assay to detect ɸBT1 genomic integrants was designed and tested for the first time. Finally, PCR screens were used …

In all multicellular organisms, the fundamental processes of cell proliferation and cell death are crucial for growth regulation during organogenesis. Strict regulation of cell death is important to maintain tissue homeostasis by affecting processes like regulation of cell number, and elimination of unwanted/unfit cells. The developing Drosophila eye is a versatile model to study patterning and growth, where complex signaling pathways regulate growth and cell survival. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of these processes is not fully understood. In a gain-of-function screen, we found that misexpression of cullin-4 (cul-4), an ubiquitin ligase, can rescue reduced eye mutant phenotypes. Previously, …

Myo-inositol phosphates (phytates) are important biological molecules produced largely by plants to store phosphorus. Phytate is very abundant in many different soils making up a large portion of all soil phosphorus. This review assesses current phytase science from the perspective of its substrate, phytate, by examining the intricate relationship between the phytate-hydrolyzing enzymes and phytate as their substrate. Specifically, we examine available data on phytate’s structural features, distribution in nature and functional roles. The role of phytases and their localization in soil and plant tissues are evaluated. We provide a summary of the current biotechnological advances in using industrial …
