Microbes are increasingly developing defensive mechanisms against known drugs via mutations. There are signs of emergence of superbugs immune to most known antibiotics available. The need for a new class of drugs to counteract this problem is of para

An 11-amino-acid amphipathic synthetic peptide homologous to a helical region on helix 1 of human lactoferrin HLP-2 exhibited bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli serotype O111, whereas an analogue synthesized with Pro substituted for Met,

Hephaestin was implicated in mammalian iron homeostasis following its identification as the defective gene in murine sex-linked anaemia. It is a member of the family of copper oxidases that includes mammalian ceruloplasmin, factors V and VIII, yeast

Neisseria meningitidis, grown in iron-limited conditions, produces two transferrin-binding proteins (TbpA and TbpB) that independently and specifically bind human serum transferrin (hTF) but not bovine serum transferrin (bTF). We have used surface pl

The potent bactericidal activity of sodium nitroprusside {SNP; Na 2 [Fe(CN) 5 (NO)]} towards Clostridium sporogenes has been investigated. SNP inhibited cell growth in the concentration range of 10 to 40 μM. Concentrations above 80 μM caused irreve

Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis both recognize and bind the human iron-transporting glycoprotein, transferrin, via a 42-kDa cell surface protein receptor. In an iron-deficient medium, staphylococcal growth can be promoted by the

We report the successful expression of recombinant human ceruloplasmin which was made possible by inclusion of splicing signals in the expression vector. Ceruloplasmin cDNA expressed from the vector pNUT in baby hamster kidney cells gave protein yiel

One- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) electron spin-echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the ligand environment of the [2Fe-2S] cluster from the terminal dioxygenase (ISPBED) of the Pseudomonas putida benzene diox

Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is usually diagnosed clinically, and isolating Staphylococcus aureus from skin lesions is considered to support the diagnosis. However, polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis on 54 isolates from suspe

Neisseria meningitidis , a causative agent of bacterial meningitis and septicemia, obtains transferrin-bound iron by expressing two outer membrane-located transferrin-binding proteins, TbpA and TbpB. A novel system was developed to investigate the in
