question:
Context: Alkaline/vacuolar serine proteases comprise a major group of pan-fungal allergens from several prevalent airborne fungal species. It is of importance to characterize antigenic determinant(s) recognized by monoclonal antibodies against these major allergens.', 'The antigenic determinant of fungal serine proteases recognized by a monoclonal antibody, FUM20, was analyzed by dot immunoassay of synthetic peptides immobilized on cellulose membrane. Results obtained were confirmed by wild-type recombinant protease and its mutants. The epitopes were mapped to the structure of serine proteases by molecular modeling.', 'A linear epitope encompassing 9 amino acids from Pen ch 18 ((6)EKNAPWGLA(14)) binds FUM20. The corresponding peptide ((5)AKGAPWGLA(13)) from Rho m 2 also binds FUM20. Substitution of K6, P9 or W10 with alanine in this peptide resulted in drastic loss of FUM20 binding. Rho m 2 mutants with single K6A, P9A, P9G, W10A or W10F substitute showed negative immunoblot reactivity against FUM20. However, the Rho m 2 K6R mutant can bind FUM20. Three-dimensional structural models of the FUM20 antigenic determinants on serine proteases were constructed. The lysine residue critical for FUM20 interaction is on the surface of the proteases and solvent accessible. The critical core residue proline is located at the beginning of an alpha-helix.
Answer: The lysine, proline and tryptophan residues located on the N-terminal region of fungal serine proteases are critical core amino acid residues recognized by FUM20, a monoclonal antibody against serine protease pan-fungal allergens. These findings advance our understanding of the antigenic structures responsible for the antigenicity of serine protease allergens.
answer:
Are lys , pro and trp critical core amino acid residues recognized by FUM20 , a monoclonal antibody against serine protease pan-fungal allergens?


question:
Context: The membrane protein CD46, a ubiquitous cell surface pathogen receptor, can bind Streptococcus to trigger cell autophagy, which is a critical step in the control of infection.', 'In this study, we found a new splice variant designated CD46 transcript variant (CD46-TV). The splice variant is characterized by the retention of a 48\xa0bp sequence from intron 8 of the bovine CD46 gene, which encodes a putative protein enlarged by 16 amino acids. CD46-TV mRNA was found to be over expressed in mastitis-infected mammary gland tissues relative to healthy tissues. A single nucleotide polymorphism (c. 1033\u2009+\u20092184 C\u2009>\u2009T) in the exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) motif region was shown to result in the CD46-TV aberrant splice variant through constructing alternative alleles using the pSPL3 exon capturing vector and transfecting these into 293\xa0T cells. Allelic frequency in 56,682 individuals belonging to 112 Bos taurus, Bos indicus, Bos javanicus, Bos grunniens and Bos mutus, etc. suggests that the C allele (80.09%) is the ancestral allele. Association analysis found that the mean genomic estimated breeding values (gEBV) for milk somatic cell score and the occurrence of clinical mastitis, as well as the milk somatic cell score of Chinese Holsteins with the CT genotype was lower than those of individuals with either the CC or TT genotypes. The mean gEBV for udder health synthesis for the TT genotype was greater than those for the CC or CT genotypes.
Answer: Our findings suggest that the CD46 gene likely plays a critical role in the risk of mastitis caused by Streptococcus in dairy cows via an alternative splicing mechanism caused by a functional mutation in intron 8. Our data also underline the importance of variation within ESEs in regulating transcript processing.
answer:
Does a SNP in intron 8 of CD46 cause a novel transcript associated with mastitis in Holsteins?


question:
Context: Increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is associated with colorectal cancer liver metastases. It is reasonable to expect that measurement of VEGF in liver metastases would provide the best prediction of therapy benefit for VEGF-targeted drugs, such as bevacizumab (Avastin). In this study, we evaluated how VEGF mRNA level in primary colorectal cancer was related to that in corresponding liver metastases. Thirty-one pairs of primary colorectal cancer and corresponding liver metastases were analyzed.', 'Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens were dissected by using laser-captured microdissection. RNA was extracted and cDNA was prepared by reverse transcription. Quantitation of VEGF and internal reference gene (beta-actin) was done using real-time PCR (Taqman PCR).', 'There was no difference between median VEGF mRNA levels of primary colorectal cancer and liver metastases (median value 3.79 versus 3.97: P = 0.989). On an individual basis, there was a significant correlation in VEGF mRNA expression between primary colorectal cancer and corresponding liver metastases (r(s) = 0.6627, P < 0.0001). In addition, the VEGF mRNA levels of the patients who had two or more liver metastatic tumors were significantly higher than those of the patient who had solitary liver metastatic tumor in both primary cancer (5.02 versus 3.34: P = 0.0483) and liver metastases (4.38 versus 3.25: P = 0.0358).
Answer: Good prediction of VEGF mRNA levels in liver metastases can be obtained by measuring those of primary colorectal cancer. The risk of multiple liver metastatic tumors might be predictable by measuring VEGF mRNA expression in primary colorectal cancer. Further study is required to confirm these preliminary results.
answer:

Is vascular endothelial growth factor messenger RNA expression level preserved in liver metastases compared with corresponding primary colorectal cancer?
