High impact information on melibiose

 

Chemical compound and disease context of melibiose

 

Biological context of melibiose

  • Yeast transformed with GAL4-bearing plasmid become constitutive for expression of the galactose/melibiose genes, even in normally repressing (glucose) medium [9].
  • These observations suggested that expression of the melibiose operon in W3133 is also temperature-sensitive [15].
  • The cloned alkaliphile gene restored to NM81 the ability to grow at pH 7.5 in the presence of 0.6 M NaCl and on 100 mM Li+ in the presence of melibiose, and concomitantly led to an increase in the membrane associated Na+/H+ antiport activity [16].
  • We cloned the mutated melB gene that encodes the melibiose carrier, determined the nucleotide sequences, and identified replaced nucleotides [2].
  • The proteoliposomes exhibited counterflow activity, as well as membrane potential and sodium gradient-driven melibiose accumulation [17].
 

Anatomical context of melibiose

  • Lectin from the embryos and oocytes was purified by affinity chromatography on a column derivatized with melibiose [18].
  • By use of techniques described recently for lac permease [Roepe, P.D., & Kaback, H.R. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 6087], the melibiose permease from Escherichia coli, another polytopic integral plasma membrane protein, has been purified in a metastable soluble form after overexpression of the melB gene via the T7 RNA polymerase system [19].
  • The synthetic free alpha-galactosyl epitope (Gal alpha1-3Gal beta1-4GlcNAc) was found to be 300-fold more effective than melibiose or alpha-methyl galactoside in inhibiting anti-Gal binding to porcine endothelial cells, and to prevent >90% of the antibody binding at a concentration of 1 mM [20].
  • Melibiose decreased TEER dose-dependently in the jejunum and cecum, but not in the ileum and colon [21].
  • The addition of 1-100 mmol/L melibiose, difructose anhydride (DFA)III, or DFAIV to the mucosal medium increased the net Ca absorption and LY permeability dose-dependently in the jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon preparations [21].
