Abstract

A 2.4 kilobase (kb) cDNA encoding a new form of human tissue transglutaminase homologue (TGH2) was isolated from retinoic acid-induced human erythroleukemia cell (HEL) library. Full-length cDNA analysis gives an open reading frame coding for a polypeptide of 349 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 38,700 Da. This variant differs from the previously reported homologue TGH in that it is 199 amino acids shorter and has an alternative, 63 amino acid COOH-terminal peptide. The 3'-untranslated region of the cDNA also differs from the previously reported sequences for both TGH and human tissue transglutaminase. The region coding for the first 286 amino acids of TGH2, which contains the active site is identical to TGH. Immunoprecipitation of the in vitro translation product from a synthetic TGH2 mRNA and immunoprecipitation of total protein of human heart, liver, kidney and cultured erythroleukemia HEL cell, revealed a protein with a molecular mass of 37,000 Da by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Comparison of the cDNA sequence for the previously known tissue transglutaminases with genomic DNA and the TGH2 cDNA described here indicate that the sequence divergence points correlate with known intron-exo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
