Abstract

Histidyl residues are known to be essential for the catalytic function of the H(+)-coupled peptide transporters expressed in the intestine and the kidney, most likely participating in the binding and translocation of H+. Three histidyl residues are conserved among the intestinal and renal peptide transporters (PEPT1 and PEPT2, respectively) from different animal species. In hPEPT1, these residues are His-57, His-121, and His-260. The corresponding residues in hPEPT2 are His-87, His-142, and His-278. We have individually mutated each of these histidyl residues in hPEPT1 and in hPEPT2 and compared the catalytic function of the mutants with that of their respective wild type transporters by expressing the transporters in Xenopus laevis oocytes and also in HeLa cells. His-57 in hPEPT1 and His-87 in hPEPT2 were found to be absolutely essential for catalytic activity because the corresponding mutants had no detectable peptide transport activity. His-121 in hPEPT1 is not essential since mutation of this residue did not impair transport function. His-142 in hPEPT2 was found to play a significant role in the maintenance of transport function but was not found to be obligatory because the mutant had appreciable transport activity.

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.
