High impact information on Rhabditoidea

• Altered enolase in aged Turbatrix aceti results from conformational changes in the enzyme [1].
• Young- and old-type enolases (2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolyase, EC 4.2.1.11) from the free-living nematode Turbatrix aceti can be unfolded in 1.25 M guanidine hydrochloride and subsequently refolded with essentially a quantitative recovery [1].
• Age-related changes in isocitrate lyase from the free living nematode, Turbatrix aceti [2].
• A highly purified acyl-CoA carboxylase from the nametode Turbatrix aceti catalyzes the ATP, Mg2+, and HCO3- dependent alpha-carboxylation of acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, and butyryl-CoA at the respective rates of 6.8, 39.7, and 9.1 mumol per min per mg [3].
• Major pathways of phytosterol metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans, Turbatrix aceti and Panagrellus redivivus included C-24 dealkylation and 4 alpha-methylation (a pathway unique to nematodes) [4].

Biological context of Rhabditoidea

• Production and excision repair of cyclobutane-type pyrimidine dimers in the DNA of Turbatrix aceti [5].

Associations of Rhabditoidea with chemical compounds

• A heat-stable factor which aggregates 3-phosphoglycerate kinase from Turbatrix aceti [6].
• The purified beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase isolated from Turbatrix aceti hydrolyzes both p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-gluco- and beta-D-galactopyranosides [7].
• Amino acid, heme, and sterol requirements of the nematode, Rhabditis maupasi [8].
• Age related alterations in purified fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase from the nematode Turbatrix aceti [9].
• Altered enzymes in the free-living nematode, Turbatrix aceti, aged in the absence of fluorodeoxyuridine [10].

Gene context of Rhabditoidea

• Age-related alteration of enolase in the free-living nematode, Turbatrix aceti [11].
• Triosephosphate isomerase from young and old Turbatrix aceti [12].
• Lysosomal proteinase activity increases, whereas the rate of protein degradation decreases in the aged free-living nematode, Turbatrix aceti [13].
• Phosphoglycerate kinase from young and old Turbatrix aceti [14].
• 1. A factor isolated from the free-living nematode, Turbatrix aceti and from yeast, causes aggregation of phosphoglycerate kinase from nematodes, yeast and rat liver [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Rhabditoidea

• Pure enolase isolated from young and old Turbatrix aceti has been compared using immunologic techniques [16].
