Disease relevance of Ovum

  • The Ova gene was expressed in Escherichia coli with high yield using the T7 phage promoter; the amount of the recombinant Ova (re-Ova) was 29.4% of cellular proteins [1].
  • Tetanus toxoid was found to be the most stable in the presence of anhydride monomers, while Ova was most stable in the presence of sebacic acid, and lysozyme was stable when incubated with all of the monomers studied [2].
  • Tc maintained bone formation indices almost at Ova level, and only decreased mineral apposition rate (MAR) in Tc1 group, and declined bone resorption perimeter [3].
 

High impact information on Ovum

  • Nucleotide analyses of 3H-methyl methionine-labeled RNA in two-cell embryos and in unfertilized eggs show that fertilization activates the cap methylation of about 10(7) RNA molecules [4].
  • Finally, the direct microinjection of constitutively active CaM KII into unfertilized eggs inactivates Cdc2 kinase and CSF, even in the absence of a Ca2+ transient [5].
  • Thus, Rsk appears to be the mediator of MAPK-dependent CSF arrest in vertebrate unfertilized eggs [6].
  • Xlim-1 mRNA is found at low abundance in the unfertilized egg, has a major expression phase at the gastrula stage, decreases, and rises again during the tadpole stage [7].
  • Using these libraries, we now report the first stages at which the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1 beta, and interferon (IFN)-gamma are transcribed in the developing embryo and the presence of IL-7 transcripts in the unfertilized egg [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ovum

  • This study focuses on the effects of polymer degradation products on the primary, secondary, and tertiary structure of tetanus toxoid, ovalbumin (Ova), and lysozyme after incubation for 0 or 20 days in the presence of ester (lactic acid and glycolic acid) and anhydride (sebacic acid and 1,6-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)hexane) monomers [2].

Associations of Ovum with chemical compounds

  • Electron microscopic localization on unfertilized eggs using peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody demonstrated the presence of the CSL protein within the luminal compartment of ER-like tubules [19].
  • Additional experiments with the phorbol ester, phorbol myristate acetate, demonstrate that activating protein synthesis alone in unfertilized eggs does not result in stimulation of p34cdc2 tyrosine kinase activity [20].
  • Isolation and structures of glycoprotein-derived free sialooligosaccharides from the unfertilized eggs of Tribolodon hakonensis, a dace. Intracellular accumulation of a novel class of biantennary disialooligosaccharides [21].
  • Structural studies of fertilization-associated carbohydrate-rich glycoproteins (hyosophorin) isolated from the fertilized and unfertilized eggs of flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Presence of a novel penta-antennary N-linked glycan chain in the tandem repeating glycopeptide unit of hyosophorin [22].
  • Analysis of immunoblots prepared from fertilized and unfertilized eggs revealed that fertilization results in a major increase in the phosphotyrosine content of a 350-kDa egg protein [23].
