The proteome map of the escamolera ant (Liometopum apiculatum Mayr) larvae reveals immunogenic proteins and several hexamerin proteoforms
(Elsevier, 2018)"The larvae of escamolera ant (Liometopum apiculatum Mayr) have been considered a delicacy since Pre-Hispanic times. The increased demand for this stew has led to massive collection of ant nests. Yet biological aspects of ... -
Morphological, proximal composition, and bioactive compounds characterization of wild and cultivated amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) species
(Elsevier, 2018)"Amaranth seeds have gained renewed interest due to the presence of encrypted peptides with several biological functions, among which the inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) ... -
Molecular characterization of the silencing complex SIR in Candida glabrata hyperadherent clinical isolates
(Elsevier, 2018)"An important virulence factor for the fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is the ability to adhere to the host cells, which is mediated by the expression of adhesins. Epa1 is responsible for ?95% of the in vitro adherence ... -
Genotyping based on thermal denaturation of amplification products identifies species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(Microbiology Society, 2018)"Purpose. To develop a fast and inexpensive genotyping assay to identify the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species most prevalent in human tuberculosis (TB), based on the thermal denaturation profiles of PCR ... -
Down-regulation of arginine decarboxylase gene-expression results in reactive oxygen species accumulation in Arabidopsis
(Elsevier, 2018)"Arabidopsis amiR:ADC-L2 is a non-lethal line with several developmental defects, it is characterized by a drastic reduction in free polyamine content. Herein, we found that catalase application had growth-promoting effects ... -
Generation of Sporothrix schenckii mutants expressing the green fluorescent protein suitable for the study of host-fungus interactions
(Elsevier, 2018)"Sporotrichosis is an infection caused by members of the Sporothrix genus, and among them, Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents. Both, the disease and the causative agent have gained interest in the recent ... -
Phenolic compounds accumulation in wild and domesticated cladodes from opuntia spp. and its benefits in cardiovascular diseases
(American Chemical Society, 2018)"Opuntia spp. are plants native from Mexico where the largest varieties of wild and semi-domesticated species are found. Nowadays the most domesticated species, O. ficus-indica is widely distributed worldwide. Since ... -
Optimization of biohydrogen production by the novel psychrophilic strain N92 collected from the Antarctica
(Elsevier, 2018)"In this study, the response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was employed to improve the hydrogen production by the psychrophilic N92 strain (EU636058) isolated from Antarctica, which is closely ... -
Anthelmintic effect of Psidium guajava and Tagetes erecta on wild-type and Levamisole-resistant Caenorhabditis elegans strains
(Elsevier, 2017)"Ethnopharmacological relevance Psidium guajava and Tagetes erecta have been used traditionally to treat gastrointestinal parasites, but their active metabolites and mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. Aim of the ... -
Chromatin loop formation induced by a subtelomeric protosilencer represses EPA genes in Candida glabrata
(Genetics Society of America, 2018)"Adherence, an important virulence factor, is mediated by the EPA (Epithelial Adhesin) genes in the opportunistic pathogen Candida glabrata. Expression of adhesin-encoding genes requires tight regulation to respond to harsh ... -
Diversification of transcriptional regulation determines subfunctionalization of paralogous branched chain aminotransferases in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Genetics Society of America, 2017)"Saccharomyces cerevisiae harbors BAT1 and BAT2 paralogous genes that encode branched chain aminotransferases and have opposed expression profiles and physiological roles . Accordingly, in primary nitrogen sources such as ... -
Candida glabrata encodes a longer variant of the mating type (MAT) alpha2 gene in the mating type-like MTL3 locus, which can form homodimers
