Journal ArticleDOI
Cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus: isolation, structural characterization and tissue expression profile.
Andréa Cristina Fogaça,Daniel M. Lorenzini,Luciana M Kaku,Eliane Esteves,Philippe Bulet,Sirlei Daffre +5 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, despite the fact that microplusin and defensin have been isolated from different compartments, their gene expression was found to have similar tissue distribution and the cDNA cloning established thatmicroplusin is synthesized as a prepeptide while the tick defens in is synthesizing as a prepromolecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and Mode of Action of Microplusin, a Copper II-chelating Antimicrobial Peptide from the Cattle Tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
Fernanda Dias da Silva,Carlos A. Rezende,Diego C. P. Rossi,Eliane Esteves,Fabio Henrique Dyszy,Shirley Schreier,Frederico J. Gueiros-Filho,Claudia B. L. Campos,José R. Pires,Sirlei Daffre +9 more
TL;DR: The NMR solution structure of microplusin is described and it is demonstrated that the protein binds copper II and iron II and concludes that the antibacterial effect of micro plusin is due to its ability to bind and sequester copper II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular and molecular characterization of an embryonic cell line (BME26) from the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus.
Eliane Esteves,Flávio Alves Lara,Daniel M. Lorenzini,Gustavo Henrique Nogueira Costa,Aline H. Fukuzawa,Luis N. Pressinotti,José Roberto Machado Cunha da Silva,Jesus Aparecido Ferro,Timothy J. Kurtti,Ulrike G. Munderloh,Sirlei Daffre +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BME26 can be used to experimentally analyze diverse biological processes that occur in R. (B.) microplus such as the innate immune response to tick-borne pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential expression of genes in salivary glands of male Rhipicephalus (Boophilus)microplus in response to infection with Anaplasma marginale.
Zorica Zivkovic,Eliane Esteves,Consuelo Almazán,Sirlei Daffre,Ard M. Nijhof,Katherine M. Kocan,Frans Jongejan,Frans Jongejan,José de la Fuente,José de la Fuente +9 more
TL;DR: Characterization of differential gene expression in salivary glands of R. microplus in response to A. marginale infection expands the understanding of the molecular mechanisms at the tick-pathogen interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional genomics and evolution of tick–Anaplasma interactions and vaccine development
José de la Fuente,José de la Fuente,Katherine M. Kocan,Edmour F. Blouin,Zorica Zivkovic,Victoria Naranjo,Victoria Naranjo,Consuelo Almazán,Eliane Esteves,Frans Jongejan,Frans Jongejan,Sirlei Daffre,Atilio J. Mangold +12 more
TL;DR: The results have advanced the understanding of the biology of tick-Anaplasma interactions and have opened new avenues for the development of improved methods for the control of tick infestations and the transmission oftick-borne pathogens.
