Cyclomaltodextrinase (CDase, EC 3.2.1.54), maltogenic amylase (EC 3.2.1.133), and
neopullulanase (EC 3.2.1.135) are reported to be capable of hydrolyzing all or two of the following …

Survivin, an apoptosis inhibitor/cell-cycle regulator, is critically required for suppression of
apoptosis and ensuring normal cell division in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. It is highly …

Vesicle‐mediated transport is a process carried out by virtually every cell and is required for
the proper targeting and secretion of proteins. As such, there are numerous players involved …

Autophagy, the degradation of cytoplasmic components, is an evolutionarily conserved
homeostatic process involved in environmental adaptation, lifespan determination and tumour …

Helicobacter pylori, an etiologic agent in a variety of gastroduodenal diseases, produces a
large amount of urease, which is believed to neutralize gastric acid by producing ammonia for …

The Drosophila host defense against gram-negative bacteria is mediated by the Imd pathway
upon sensing of peptidoglycan by the peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP)-LC. Here …

Drosophila rely entirely on an innate immune response to combat microbial infection.
Diaminopimelic acid–containing peptidoglycan, produced by Gram-negative bacteria, is …

All metazoan guts are in permanent contact with the microbial realm. However, understanding
of the exact mechanisms by which the strength of gut immune responses is regulated to …

Robust immune responses are essential for eliminating pathogens but must be metered to
avoid prolonged immune activation and potential host damage. Upon recognition of microbial …

Many proteins exhibit a large-scale movement of rigid globular domains. Among these, bacterial
periplasmic binding proteins involved in substrate transport, or transport and chemotaxis…
