The emergence of multidrug-resistant strain of community-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strain
has highlighted the urgent need for the alternative and effective therapeutic approach to combat the menace of this nosocomial
pathogen. In the present work novel potential therapeutic drug targets have been identified through the metabolic pathways
analysis. All the gene products involved in different metabolic pathways of CA-MRSA in KEGG database were searched against
the proteome of Homo sapiens using the BLASTp program and the threshold of E-value was set to as 0.001. After database
searching, 152 putative targets were identified. Among all 152 putative targets, 39 genes encoding for putative targets were
identified as the essential genes from the DEG database which are indispensable for the survival of CA-MRSA. After extensive
literature review, 7 targets were identified as potential therapeutic drug target. These targets are Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase,
Phosphoglyceromutase, Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, Uridylate kinase, Tryptophan synthase subunit beta, Acetate kinase and
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase. Except Uridylate kinase all the identified targets were involved in more than
one metabolic pathways of CA-MRSA which underlines the importance of drug targets. These potential therapeutic drug targets
can be exploited for the discovery of novel inhibitors for CA-MRSA using the structure based drug design (SBDD) strategy. 相似文献

The Na,K-ATPase transports three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell using ATP hydrolysis for energy. The ion gradient formed by the Na,K-ATPase contributes to the resting membrane potential, maintains cellular excitability and is important for glucose and amino acid uptake in the cell. The alpha1 catalytic isoform is expressed in virtually all cell types. We have previously examined cardiac physiology of mice lacking one copy of the alpha1 isoform gene of the Na,K-ATPase. The observation of reduced cardiac contractility in the alpha1 heterozygous mice was unexpected since mice heterozygous for the alpha2 isoform displayed enhanced cardiac contractility similar to what would be observed with cardiac glycoside treatment. We further examined hearts from alpha1 heterozygous mice to identify genomic responses to reduced Na,K-ATPase capacity. Using microarray analyses, we identified groups of genes whose expressions were perturbed in the alpha1 heterozygous hearts compared to wild-type. Known functional relationships of these genes suggest that multiple biological pathways are altered by alpha1 hemizygosity including activation of the renin-angiotensin system, changes in genes of energy metabolism and transport and elevated brain natriuretic peptide. This suggests that Na,K-ATPase alpha1 isoform activity may be required in numerous cellular processes. 相似文献

In the development of multicellularity, signaling proteins has played a very important role. Among them, RAS family is one of the
most widely studied protein family. However, evolutionary analysis has been carried out mainly on super family level leaving sub
family information in scanty. Thus, a subfamily evolutionary study on RAS evolutionary expansion is imperative as it will aid in
better drug designing against dreadful diseases like Cancer and other developmental diseases. The present study was aimed to
understand RAS evolution on both holistic as well as reductive level. All human RAS family genes and protein were subjected to
BLAST tools to find orthologs and paralogs with different parameters followed by phylogenetic tree generation. Our results clearly
showed that H-RAS is the most primitive RAS in higher eukaryotes and then diverged into other RAS family members due to
different gene modification events. Furthermore, a site specific selection pressure analysis was carried out using SELECTON server
which showed that H-RAS, M-RAS and N-RAS are evolving faster than K-RAS and R-RAS. Thus, the results ascertain a new
ground to cancer biologists to exploit negatively selected K-RAS and R-RAS as potent drug targets in cancer therapeutics. 相似文献

Creating true‐breeding lines is a critical step in plant breeding. Novel, completely homozygous true‐breeding lines can be generated by doubled haploid technology in single generation. Haploid induction through modification of the centromere‐specific histone 3 variant (CENH3), including chimeric proteins, expression of non‐native CENH3 and single amino acid substitutions, has been shown to induce, on outcrossing to wild type, haploid progeny possessing only the genome of the wild‐type parent, in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we report the characterization of 31 additional EMS‐inducible amino acid substitutions in CENH3 for their ability to complement a knockout in the endogenous CENH3 gene and induce haploid progeny when pollinated by the wild type. We also tested the effect of double amino acid changes, which might be generated through a second round of EMS mutagenesis. Finally, we report on the effects of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated in‐frame deletions in the αN helix of the CENH3 histone fold domain. Remarkably, we found that complete deletion of the αN helix, which is conserved throughout angiosperms, results in plants which exhibit normal growth and fertility while acting as excellent haploid inducers when pollinated by wild‐type pollen. Both of these technologies, CRISPR mutagenesis and EMS mutagenesis, represent non‐transgenic approaches to the generation of haploid inducers. 相似文献

Background
Breast cancer survivors, particularly those treated with chemotherapy, are at significantly increased risk for long-term cognitive and neurobiologic impairments. These deficits tend to involve skills that are subserved by distributed brain networks. Additionally, neuroimaging studies have shown a diffuse pattern of brain structure changes in chemotherapy-treated breast cancer survivors that might impact large-scale brain networks.Methods
We therefore applied graph theoretical analysis to compare the gray matter structural networks of female breast cancer survivors with a history of chemotherapy treatment and healthy age and education matched female controls.Results
Results revealed reduced clustering coefficient and small-world index in the brain network of the breast cancer patients across a range of network densities. In addition, the network of the breast cancer group had less highly interactive nodes and reduced degree/centrality in the frontotemporal regions compared to controls, which may help explain the common impairments of memory and executive functioning among these patients.Conclusions
These results suggest that breast cancer and chemotherapy may decrease regional connectivity as well as global network organization and integration, reducing efficiency of the network. To our knowledge, this is the first report of altered large-scale brain networks associated with breast cancer and chemotherapy. 相似文献9.
