Cystatin-related epididymal spermatogenic (CRES) protein, a member of the cystatin superfamily cysteine protease inhibitors (also known as CST8), exhibits highly specific, age-dependent expression in mouse testis and epididymis. The CRES protein possesses four conserved residues which govern overall conformation cystatins through formation two disulfide bonds. Previous studies have revealed that other family members, such 3 11, show antibacterial activity vitro. This prompted us to...

In the previous study, we unraveled unique "erasure strategy" during mouse spermiogenesis. Chromatin associated proteins sequentially disassociated from spermatid chromosome, which led to termination of transcription in elongating spermatids. By this process, a relatively naïve paternal chromatin was generated, might be essential for zygotic development. We supposed regulation histone acetylation played an important role throughout "erasure" process. order verify hypothesis, treated...

A critical factor in the biotechnological production of succinic acid with Corynebacterium glutamicum is sufficient supply NADH. It conceivable that cofactor availability and proportion active form may play an important role dictating yield. PntAB genes from Escherichia coli can directly catalyze reversible hydride transfer adjust dynamic balance between NADP(H) NAD(H). Hence, we studied physiological effect coenzyme systems by expressing membrane-bound transhydrogenase pntAB genes. We have...

This study explores the implications of a novel germline missense mutation (R38C) in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunit B, which has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases. The was identified from SDH database and corresponds SDH2R32C allele, mirroring human SDHBR38C mutation. By subjecting mutant yeast model hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stress, simulating oxidative we observed heightened sensitivity conditions. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction...
