Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of NaV1.6 channels is associated with the invasion capacity of human cervical cancer

TL;DR: It is concluded that NaV1.6 is upregulated in CaC and could serve as a novel molecular marker for the metastatic behavior of this carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity of the renal Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter is reduced by mutagenesis of N-glycosylation sites: role for protein surface charge in Cl- transport.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that NKCC2 is glycosylated and suggest that prevention of glycosYLation reduces its functional expression by affecting insertion into the plasma membrane and the intrinsic activity of the cotransporter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selected mutations in Bacillus subtilis levansucrase semi-conserved regions affecting its biochemical properties

TL;DR: Evidence is found of the important role of Y429 in acceptor specificity: this is a key residue coordinating the sucrose position in the catalytic domain-binding pocket and the crystallographic structure of this mutant is reported and it is found that S164 is an important residue to maintain the nucleophile positions in the active site.
Journal ArticleDOI

Affinity-defining Domains in the Na-Cl Cotransporter: A DIFFERENT LOCATION FOR Cl- AND THIAZIDE BINDING *

TL;DR: It is observed that elimination of glycosylation sites in flounder NCC did not affect the affinity of the cotransporter for metolazone, and interchanging transmembrane regions revealed that affinity-modifying residues for chloride and thiazide in NCC are different.
Journal ArticleDOI

α‐Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis mutants near to the catalytic site: effects on hydrolytic and transglycosylation activity

TL;DR: The engineered enzyme reported here may represent an attractive alternative for the starch transformation industries as it affords direct and substantial material savings and requires no process modifications.
