Disease relevance of Lactin

  • The osmotic stress technique was used to measure changes in macromolecular hydration that accompany binding of wild-type Escherichia coli lactose (lac) repressor to its regulatory site (operator O1) in the lac promoter and its transfer from site O1 to nonspecific DNA [1].
  • Clostridium botulinum serotype B toxins 12S and 16S were separated by using a beta-lactose gel column at pH 6.0; toxin 12S passed through the column, whereas toxin 16S bound to the column and eluted with lactose [2].
  • We have used elements of the E. coli lactose (lac) operon to produce a collection of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 glycoprotein D (gD-1 and gD-2) antigens [3].
  • Fifty-six percent of Lac+ transconjugants were resistant to the S. cremoris M12R lytic phage [4].
  • The MDS-fed pigs initially grew slower, but had intestinal dimensions similar to those of LAC-fed siblings when normalized to body weight [5].
 

High impact information on Lactin

  • The developmental accumulation and localization of PP1 and its mRNA paralleled the phloem lactin, further suggesting an interaction between these phloem-specific proteins [6].
  • In the genus Cucurbita, these filaments are composed of two major proteins: PP1, the phloem filament protein, and PP2, the phloem lactin [6].
  • Low expression levels of Gal-1 correlated with a reduction of RPE migration to 14% of control. beta-Lactose inhibited HGF-induced RPE cell migration to 23% of control [7].
  • About half of the apparent increase in the adaptive mutation rate of recD mutant cells is due to a RecA-dependent increase in episomal copy number and to growth of the Lac- cells on the lactose plates [8].
  • The orientation of the reconstituted LacS protein is a critical factor for the activity of the protein as the kinetics of translocation is very different for opposite directions of transport [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Lactin

 

Biological context of Lactin

  • Thus, there is no evidence for clustering of Lac genes into an operon-like regulatory unit.--To further characterize the nature of the Lac- phenotype, the basal and inducible level of beta-galactosidase activity were measured [13].
  • The repeats flank markers conferring lactose utilization (Lac+) and ampicillin resistance (ApR); recombination generates Lac-ApS segregants [14].
  • To study the effect of Gal-1 on RPE migration in vitro, Gal-1 expression was silenced by RNA interference. beta-Lactose was used to saturate extracellular galectins [7].
  • Transconjugants were detected by transfer of Lac+ and were found to exhibit Nisr and harbor a 40-megadalton plasmid (pTR1040) [4].
  • The required stereochemistry of the targeted nucleosides was successfully obtained with use of Grubbs cyclization and Trost allylic alkylation from the carbohydrate chiral template "D-lactose" [15].
 

Anatomical context of Lactin

  • Rosette formation was inhibited in the presence of 20 mM D-lactose as well as after preincubation of erythrocytes with purified lectin [16].
  • Replacement of the RSV-LTR promoter with the heavy metal-inducible mouse metallothionein-1 promoter in the lacR-responsive unit, as well as the generation of a clonal glioma cell line expressing lacR, did not significantly enhance regulation of DTA in the Lac system [11].
  • Total DNA content of intact small intestines were not different among groups; however, cpm [3H]thymidine/mg intestinal DNA of C and M piglets exceeded (P less than .05) that for L piglets [17].
  • Total protein in the intestines and intestinal mucosa of C pigs exceeded (P less than .01) that for L and M pigs [17].
  • Stomach and pancreas weights among all pigs were similar, although C and M pigs exceeded L pigs in stomach (P less than .01) and pancreas (P less than .01) RNA content [17].
 

Associations of Lactin with other chemical compounds

  • 6. The relaxant effects of WGA were reversed by addition of 20 mM N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (Ga1NAc) but not by alpha-mannose, D-(+)-galactose, and beta-lactose, whereas the endothelin-dependent relaxations to LCA and Con A were unaffected.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[18]
  • Piglets received one of three diets at a low energy intake level, which differed in lactose and protein ratio as follows: low lactose/high protein (LL/HP), control (C), or high lactose/low protein (HL/LP) [19].
  • CBP 32 binds specifically to glycoproteins containing asparagine-linked complex oligosaccharides, and can be eluted from a fetuin affinity matrix by beta-lactose [20].
  • (Ca2+ is required for activation of the classical C pathway via C1q and the lactin pathway via mannose binding lectin (MBL), and the surface of apoptotic cells usually activates the alternative C pathway.) In this study we tested which of the pathways participates in XP cell C3 deposition [21].
  • To search for the target and the mechanism of urea action we measured lactose (lac) and tryptophanase (tna) specific mRNA synthesis in vivo and in vitro [22].
 

Gene context of Lactin

  • Analysis of the structures reveals specific interactions between Lac repressor and DNA that were not found in previously investigated Lac repressor-DNA complexes [23].
  • Low-level expression of lac was detected in Escherichia coli harboring this expression system when RpoSP6 was uninduced, although very low activities of beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) were observed which were independent of the presence of pFSP6 [24].
  • This defect does not reflect a loss of all lac operon activity galactoside acetyltransferase from the last gene was synthesized even in strain AB301-105 but at a rate several times lower than normal [25].
  • The lactose (lac) operon promoter is positively regulated by the catabolite gene activator-cyclic AMP complex (CAP) that binds to the DNA located 61.5 bp upstream of the transcription start site [26].
  • The highest level of CAP-independent lac expression (13-fold the level of the wild-type lac promoter) correlated with changes in the -40 to -45 sequence and required an intact RNA polymerase alpha subunit for in vitro expression, as expected for an upstream DNA recognition element [26].
