Molecular recognition of esterase plays a major role on the removal of fatty so...
Silva, Carla Manuela; Azoia, Nuno G.; Martins, Madalena A.; Matamá, Maria Teresa; Wu, J.; Paulo, Artur CavacoIn this work it is describe for the first time, the use of an esterase with null activity (Tfu_0883 bacterial cutinase from Thermobifida fusca) on the removal of fat from the surface of a cotton substrate. Similar levels of fat removal were found for both null and wild-type proteins, despite that only wild type protein yielded fatty acids. Our results show that molecular recognition of esterase plays a major ro...
Functional impact of global rare copy number variation in autism spectrum disor...
Pinto, D.; Pagnamenta, A.T.; Klei, L.; Anney, R.; Merico, D.; Regan, R.; Conroy, J.; Magalhaes, T.R.; Correia, C.; Abrahams, B.S.; Almeida, J.The autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of conditions characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, and the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviours. Individuals with an ASD vary greatly in cognitive development, which can range from above average to intellectual disability. Although ASDs are known to be highly heritable ( approximately 90%), the underlying ge...
Characterization of thermobifida fusca cutinase-carbohydrate-Binding modube fus...
Zhang, Yao; Chen, S.; Xu, M.; Paulo, Artur Cavaco; Wu, J.; Chen, J.Cutinase from Thermobifida fusca is thermally stable and has potential application in the bioscouring of cotton in the textile industry. In the present study, the carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) from T. fusca cellulase Cel6A (CBMCel6A) and Cellulomonas fimi cellulase CenA (CBMCenA) were fused, separately, to the carboxyl terminus of T. fusca cutinase. Both fusion enzymes, cutinase-CBMCel6A and cutinase-CBMC...
Development of fetal nicotine and muscarinic receptors in utero
Mao,C.; Lv,J.; Li,H.; Chen,Y.; Wu,J.; Xu,Z.The role of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous systems is well established in adults. Cholinergic modulation of vascular functions and body fluid balance has been extensively studied. In the embryo-fetus, cholinergic receptors are widespread in the peripheral and central systems, including smooth muscle and the epithelial lining of the cardiovascular, digestive, and urinary systems, as well as ...
