Disease relevance of VEZF1

 

Psychiatry related information on VEZF1

  • Fluorescent analogues (DB1 and TA1) of the secondary metabolites didemnin B (DB) and tamandarin A (TA) were synthesized to investigate the potential chemical defense mechanisms of tunicates in the family Didemnidae [2].
 

High impact information on VEZF1

 

Biological context of VEZF1

  • The RhoB-binding domain in DB1 was located in a functionally undefined region upstream and separable from its zinc finger DNA binding domain [6].
  • The DB1 enhancer contains two binding sites for the Arix homeodomain, and both sites contribute to basal activity of the DBH promoter [5].
  • Accurate mass measurements of TRX II, DS2, DS5, and DB1 verified the expected DNA-encoded protein sequences (average mass error 1.3 ppm) and allowed unequivocal assignment of the disulfides without chemical reduction and subsequent alkylation of the expected cross-links [7].
  • The DR7-associated Dw specificities, Dw11, Dw17 and DB1 were investigated with regard to DRB- and DQB-gene polymorphism, as revealed by RFLP analysis using the restriction enzyme TaqI [8].
  • Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and scanning electron microscopy, the isolate was found to belong to the genus Pseudonocardia and assigned the strain designation DB1 [9].
 

Anatomical context of VEZF1

  • Vezf1/DB1 could be identified with a specific antibody in nuclear complexes from endothelial cells that bound to this element [10].
  • This cell line, notably derived from an individual with a deletion of the 21-hydroxylase B-gene (21-OHB), caries the HLA haplotype Bw47, DR7, DQw2, DB1, but displayed a DRB RFLP otherwise found in association with Dw17 [8].
  • OPCABG [left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to DB1 and LAD] was performed [1].
 

Associations of VEZF1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of VEZF1

  • Functional interaction between RhoB and the transcription factor DB1 [6].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of VEZF1

  • The DB1 monoclonal antibody did not prolong heart allograft survival in the (LEW/BN)F1 to LEW combination, even when used at high doses (2 mg/rat x 9 days) [13].
  • Retention and detector response factor data have been given for 188 compounds on the DB1 capillary column using a dual nitrogen--phosphorus and flame ionization detection system [14].
  • The isolated nitrosamines are converted to the corresponding trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives and determined by gas chromatography (GC) on a DB1 column coupled with a thermal energy analyzer (GC-TEA) [15].
