BACKGROUND—Aspergillus fumigatus can colonise the airways and the lungs with localised underlying conditions and occasionally invade the surrounding lung tissues even in subjects without systemic predisposing factors, presumably by escaping the loc

Aspergillus spp., especially A. fumigatus (Af) can colonize the airways and the lungs with localized underlying conditions and further invade the surrounding lung tissues, even in subjects without systemic predisposing factors, presumably by escaping

Aspergillus species frequently colonize lower respiratory tracts and lungs with localized underlying conditions (healed tuberculous cavity, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, etc.) even in subjects without systemic predisposing factors. We investigated

SUMMARY We investigated the effects of certain macrophage-active cytokines on the phagocytosis and growth inibition of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) by human alveolar macrophages (AM). We also evaluated the effects of pretreatment with each cytok

Calpain requires Ca2+ for both proteolysis of its substrates and interaction with its endogenous inhibitor, calpastatin. The mechanism of inhibition of calpain by calpastatin has remained unsolved, although Nishimura and Goll [J. Biol. Chem. 266, 118

Calpastatin, a specific inhibitor of calpain, consists of a unique N-terminal domain (domain L) and four repetitive calpain-inhibition domains (domains 1-4). Calpastatin cDNA of human was reported to have two deletions in domains L and 1, as compared

Calpain is a Ca2(+)-dependent cysteine proteinase that has neutral pH optima. There are two classes of calpains that differ in their optimal calcium ion concentration for enzymatic activity. Calpain I requires a low concentration of Ca2+ for activati

Partial mouse and rat calpastatin cDNAs containing functionally unknown amino-terminal regions were cloned by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Two types of clones were obtained for the rat calpastatin; one had a sequence similar to mouse a

Several substances including proteases and restrictocin have been suggested as candidates for virulence determinants in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. However, the roles of such substances are not well understood. This study compared the in vitro

According to differences in mobility on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, calpastatins (inhibitor proteins of the calcium-dependent proteinase calpain) are classified into the tissue type (100-120 kDa) and the erythrocyte type (70 kDa), which l
