The role of protein phosphorylation in the life cycle malaria parasites is slowly emerging. Here we combine global phospho-proteomic analysis with kinome-wide reverse genetics to assess importance Plasmodium falciparum asexual proliferation. We identify 1177 sites on 650 parasite proteins that are involved a wide range general cellular activities such as DNA synthesis, transcription and metabolism well key processes invasion cyto-adherence. Several kinases themselves phosphorylated putative...

Molecular mechanisms by which signaling pathways operate in the malaria parasite and control its development are promiscuous. Recently, we reported identification of a pathway Plasmodium falciparum, involves activation protein kinase B-like enzyme (PfPKB) calcium/calmodulin (Vaid, A., Sharma, P. (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 27126-27133). Studies carried out to elucidate function this suggested that it may be important for erythrocyte invasion. Blocking upstream activators pathway, calmodulin...

To offer accurate prenatal diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders in early pregnancy.Prenatal enzymatic diagnoses Gaucher, Fabry, Pompe, Niemann Pick A/B, Tay Sach, Sandoff, GM1, mucoplysaccharidoses, Wolman, Krabbe, Metachromatic leukodystrophy and Batten diseases were made uncultured chorionic villi samples by fluorometric/spectrophotometric methods.Of 331 diagnosis, 207 fetuses (67%) normal 124 (37%) affected. The interpretation affected, carrier was done using their respective...

High consanguinity rates, poor access to accurate diagnostic tests, and costly therapies are the main causes of increased burden lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) in developing countries. Therefore, there is a major unmet need for economical tests facilitate diagnosis consideration before irreversible complications occur. In cross-country study, we utilized dried blood spots (DBS) 1,033 patients clinically suspected harbor LSDs enzymatic using modified fluorometric assays from March 2013...

Abstract Background: In India, the tradition of marriages, largely confined to same ethnic groups or within families, increases proportion autosomal recessive genetic disorders. This includes organic acidemias (OAs) too. With immense burden treatment these disorders, uptake prenatal diagnosis (PND) is high. We present our experience in PND for common five OAs, namely methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), propionic (PA), glutaric type 1 (GA1), isovaleric (IVA), and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD)....

The actomyosin motor complex of the glideosome provides force needed by apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) and Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) to invade their host cells for gliding motility motile forms. Glideosome Associated Protein 45 (PfGAP45) is an essential component it facilitates anchoring effective functioning motor. Dissection events that regulate PfGAP45 may provide insights into how operate. We found phosphorylated in response Phospholipase C (PLC) calcium...

Abstract Newborn screening (NBS) aims toward early detection of treatable congenital disorders. From January 2008 through December 2017, 13,376 newborns were screened for hypothyroidism (CH), adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, India, by measuring G6PD activity, thyroid-stimulating hormone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone on dried blood specimens. The birth prevalence 1:2,000 CH, 1:2,500 CAH, 1:125 indicates the latter as most...
