Alboserpin, a Factor Xa Inhibitor from the Mosquito Vector of Yellow Fever, Binds Heparin and Membrane Phospholipids and Exhibits Antithrombotic Activity
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2011)
The molecular mechanism of factor Xa (FXa) inhibition by Alboserpin, the major salivary gland anticoagulant from the mosquito and yellow fever vector Aedes albopictus, has been characterized. cDNA of Alboserpin predicts a ...
SARS-CoV fusion peptides induce membrane surface ordering and curvature
(2016-11-28)
Viral membrane fusion is an orchestrated process triggered by membrane-anchored viral fusion glycoproteins. The S2 subunit of the spike glycoprotein from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) contains ...
Modification of ion transport in lipid bilayer membranes by the insecticides DDT and DDE
(1982)
In order to elucidate the mechanism of action of organochlorine insecticides on the ion transport in biological membranes, we have studied the effect of DDT and its analog DDE on the structural parameters of phosphatidyl ...
Plasma cholinesterase and carboxylesterase activities and nuclear and mitochondrial lipid composition of human placenta associated with maternal exposure to pesticides
Blood cholinesterases and tissue carboxylesterases (CEs) are sensitive indicators of environmental organophosphate pesticides (OPs) exposure. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the impact of OP exposure on placental ...
Efecto del estrés salino sobre los componentes lipídicos de la membrana en rizobacterias y su interacción con plantas de Solanum Lycopersicum L.
(Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, 2020-05)
Saline soils are one of the environmental factors that most severely affect crop productivity. In this work we evaluate the capacity of the beneficial bacteria Bacillus sp. CR71, Bacillus sp. E25, Bacillus toyonensis COPE52 ...
Ca(2+)-activated transbilayer movement of plasma membrane phospholipids in Leishmania donovani during ionomycin or thapsigargin stimulation
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
The protozoan parasite Leishmania causes serious infections in humans all over the world. After being inoculated into the skin through the bite of an infected sandfly, Leishmania promastigotes must gain entry into macrophages ...
Leishmania Promastigotes Lack Phosphatidylserine but Bind Annexin V upon Permeabilization or Miltefosine Treatment
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCESAN FRANCISCO, 2013-08-02)
The protozoan parasite Leishmania is an intracellular pathogen infecting and replicating inside vertebrate host macrophages. A recent model suggests that promastigote and amastigote forms of the parasite mimic mammalian ...
