Abstract Approximately 20,000 stool specimens from patients with diarrhea visiting an urban and a rural hospital in Bangladesh during January 2001–May 2006 were tested for group A rotavirus antigen, 4,712 (24.0%) positive. G P genotyping was performed on subset of 10% the positive samples (n = 471). During 2001–2005 seasons, G1P[8] (36.4%) G9P[8] (27.7%) dominant strains, but G2[4] G12P[6] present 15.4% 3.1% rotavirus-positive patients, respectively. 2005–06 season, G2P[4] (43.2%) appeared...
Quality control systems facilitate polypeptide folding and degradation to maintain protein homeostasis. Molecular chaperones promote folding, whereas the ubiquitin/proteasome system mediates degradation. We show here that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ubr1 Ubr2 ubiquitin ligases of unfolded or misfolded cytosolic polypeptides. also catalyzes ubiquitinylation denatured but not native luciferase in a purified system. This activity is based on direct interaction with Ubr1, although Hsp70 stimulates...
Abstract Background Rotavirus genotyping is performed by using reverse transcription PCR with type-specific-primers. Because the high rotavirus mutation rate generates an extensive genomic variation, different G-type-specific primer sets are applied in geographical locations. In Bangladesh, a significant proportion (36.9%) of strains isolated 2002 could not be G-typed routinely used set. To investigate reason why were untypeable, nucleotide sequencing VP7 genes was performed. Results Four...

The UBR1 ubiquitin ligase promotes degradation of proteins via the N-end rule and by another mechanism that detects a misfolded conformation. Although was shown recently to act on protein kinases whose misfolding promoted inhibition Hsp90, it unknown whether this targeted other client types chaperone. We analyzed role in nuclear receptors are classical clients Hsp90. Our results showed deletion impaired glucocorticoid receptor androgen but not estrogen α. These findings demonstrate...

Nutritional metals (NM) are essential for neurodevelopment and cognitive performance during growth. Nevertheless, epidemiological evidence regarding the associations between NM brain function remains understudied, particularly among adolescents. Therefore, objective of this pilot study was to examine effects biomarkers such as iron (Fe), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu) on neurobehavioral functions a group rural Bangladeshi
