Score: 3.00 | Title: Glutelin basic subunits have a mammalian mucin-type O-linked disaccharide side chain .

The basic subunits of glutelin were shown to be glycoproteins by staining with PAS and the lectins concanavalin A ( Con A ) and peanut agglutinin ( PNA ) .
The binding of PNA to the basic subunits was substantially reduced by treatment of the glutelin with NaIO4 , NaOH , or O-glycanase .
The sugar chains of the subunits , obtained by hydrazinolysis and O-glycanase , were pyridylaminated and subjected to 2-dimensional HPLC analysis using C ( 18 ) and acrylamide-derivatized columns .
It was found that the Galbeta-1 , 3GalNAc disaccharide , which was previously identified as a core 1 structure of mucin-type sugar chains , is conjugated to the glutelin subunits .

OBJECTIVE : To investigate the molecular genetics of MDR-TB strains recovered in a Latin American country .
DESIGN : Antimicrobial agent susceptibility testing , major genetic group designation , IS6110 fingerprinting , spoligotyping , and automated deoxyribonucleic acid sequencing of regions of the katG , rpoB , embB , gyrA , and pncA genes with mutations commonly associated with drug resistance .
RESULTS : Nineteen isolates were found to be multidrug-resistant by susceptibility testing .
IS6110 typing showed that virtually all isolates were unique and therefore had independently acquired drug resistance .
Seventy-nine percent of isoniazid-resistant strains had a Ser315Thr amino acid change in KatG .

Mutations in the rpoB gene are known to cause rifampin resistance in Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis , and the purpose of the present study was to investigate a possible similar resistance mechanism within the members of the family Legionellaceae .
Since the RNA polymerase genes of this genus have never been characterized , the DNA sequence of the Legionella pneumophila rpoB gene was determined by the Vectorette technique for genome walking .
A 4 , 647-bp DNA sequence that contained the open reading frame ( ORF ) of the rpoB gene ( 4 , 104 bp ) and an ORF of 384 bp representing part of the rpoC gene was obtained .
A 316-bp DNA fragment in the center of the L pneumophila rpoB gene , corresponding to a previously described site for mutations leading to rifampin resistance in M tuberculosis , was sequenced from 18 rifampin-resistant Legionella isolates representing four species ( L bozemanii , L longbeachae , L micdadei , and L pneumophila ) , and the sequences were compared to the sequences of the fragments from the parent ( rifampin-sensitive ) strains .
Six single-base mutations which led to amino acid substitutions at five different positions were identified .
A single strain did not contain any mutations in the 316-bp fragment .

Inhibition of branch migration indicates the presence of sequence alteration .
This mutation detection method , termed branch migration inhibition ( BMI ) , is suitable for the detection of drug resistance in M tuberculosis , which is frequently associated with multiple mutations within known genes .
We describe the genotypic determination of the rifampin ( RMP ) and pyrazinamide ( PZA ) susceptibilities of M tuberculosis isolates , using BMI coupled with the luminescence oxygen channeling immunoassay ( LOCI ) ( E F Ullman et al , Proc . Natl . Acad . Sci . USA 91 : 5426-5430 , 1994 ) .
RMP and PZA resistances are associated with multiple mutations within the rpoB and pncA genes , respectively .
M tuberculosis genomic DNA samples prepared from 46 clinical isolates were used for genotypic determination of RMP resistance in a "blind study . " Similarly , PZA resistance was determined using genomic DNA samples prepared from 37 clinical isolates .
Full agreement of the genotypic and phenotypic determinations of drug susceptibility was demonstrated .
RMP susceptibility determination directly from cells of 10 clinical isolates grown in culture was also demonstrated .
The genotypic result of only 1 out of 10 isolates did not agree with the phenotypic susceptibility testing result .
Sequence analysis of the rpoB gene of this clinical isolate revealed a single base substitution , most likely a silent point mutation .
The new BMI-LOCI mutation detection method is a rapid and accurate procedure for the genotypic determination of the RMP and PZA susceptibilities of M tuberculosis clinical isolates .
BMI can also be detected by using commercially available automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay plate formats ( Lishanski et al , Nucleic Acids Res .

Score: 2.00 | Title: [ A patient with dysphagia treated successfully and discharged without nutritional support ] | Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho Citation: V : 27 Suppl 3 ( ) P : 754-5 Year: 2000 Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub11190340 Accession (PMID): 11190340 | Abstract: One of the main targets of medical care provided in our ward , which specializes in the cooperative practice of hospital and home-doctors , is to maintain the quality of patients lives after they are discharged from our hospital through home medical care by home-doctors .
Intravenous hyperalimentation and tube-feeding at home are suitable solutions for some patients with dysphagia after cerebral infarction .
However , the difficulties faced in their management are the burden on the families , which tends to be an obstacle for at-home-practice .
We describe herein a case of severe dysphagia treated successfully through our rehabilitation program and discharged without nutritional supports .
An 82-year-old man was admitted to our hospital suffering from pyrexia and dysbasia .
The man , who lives with his wife and his sons family , was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and multiple cerebral infarctions .
The test for swallowing reflex revealed an impaired first phase reflex and intravenous hyperalimentation was performed for his nutritional support .
He was still suffering from dysphagia but had the desire to eat orally after his dysbasia and aspiration pneumonia were cured .
A rehabilitation program was scheduled with the aims of 1 ) recovery of ingestion and 2 ) sufficient expectoration , with an ongoing teaching program for the management of intravenous hyperalimentation .
After one month of rehabilitation ( ice-massaging , muscle rehabilitation of the tongue and neck and expectoration training in a prone position and after gorging ) , his ability to swallow was gradually recovered .
With the frequent confirmation of absence of aspiration , special forms of diets were served and upgraded from jelly , paste-like-food to soft-cooked steamed rice .
The patient is now at home without any nutritional support .
Nutritional management without intravenous hyperalimentation or tube-feeding is important or even essential for some families providing home-care for patients .
The problem of aging requires us to reduce the burden that families ( who may be also getting older ) should carry .
We try to support patients and families for better home-care through cooperation with society and home-doctors .

Plant Microbe Interact .
Citation: V : 14 ( 3 ) P : 308-15 Year: 2001 Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub11277428 Accession (PMID): 11277428 | Abstract: impala , a Tc1-mariner transposable element from Fusarium oxysporum , was introduced into the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea to develop transposon-based insertional mutagenesis .
A construct ( pNIL160 ) containing an autonomous impala copy inserted in the promoter of niaD encoding Aspergillus nidulans nitrate reductase was introduced by transformation into a M grisea nitrate reductase-deficient mutant . impala excision was monitored by restoration of prototrophy for nitrate .
Southern analysis of niaD+ revertants revealed that impala was able to excise and reinsert at new loci in M grisea .
As observed for its host Fusarium oxysporum , impala inserted at a TA site left a typical excision footprint of 5 bp .
We have shown that a defective impala copy was inactive in M grisea , yet it can be activated by a functional impala transposase .
A transformant carrying a single copy of pNIL160 was used to generate a collection of 350 revertants .
Mutants either altered for their mycelial growth ( Rev2 ) or nonpathogenic ( Rev77 ) were obtained .
Complementation of Rev77 with a 3-kb genomic fragment from a wild-type locus was successful , demonstrating the tagging of a pathogenicity gene by impala .
This gene , called ORP1 , is essential for penetration of host leaves by M grisea and has no sequence homology to known genes . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: impala , a Tc1-mariner transposable element from Fusarium oxysporum , was introduced into the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea to develop transposon-based insertional mutagenesis .
