Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary structure of diphtheria toxin and its fragments interacting with acidic liposomes studied by polarized infrared spectroscopy.
Véronique Cabiaux,Robert Brasseur,Ruddy Wattiez,Paul Falmagne,Jean Marie Ruysschaert,Erik Goormaghtigh +5 more
TL;DR: The fragment A of DT experiences a large conformational change upon pH lowering and binds to the liposome membrane even in the absence of DT fragment B, and the conformational modification ofDT fragment A is fully reversed when pH is brought back to 7.3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary structure of diphtheria toxin fragment B: structural similarities with lipid-binding domains.
P Lambotte,Paul Falmagne,Carine Capiau,Jacqueline Zanen,Jean Marie Ruysschaert,Jacques Dirkx +5 more
TL;DR: Two different lipid-associating domains have been identified in the B fragment of diphtheria toxin using automated Edman degradation of its cyanogen bromide peptides, secondary structure prediction analysis, and comparisons with known phospholipid-interacting proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomics as the tool to search for lung disease markers in bronchoalveolar lavage
TL;DR: The significance of the use of proteome analysis of BAL fluid for the search for new lung disease marker proteins and for their simultaneous display and analysis in patients suffering from lung disorders has been examined.
Journal Article
Quantification of Clara cell protein in rat and mouse biological fluids using a sensitive immunoassay
T Halatek,Cédric Hermans,F Broeckaert,Ruddy Wattiez,Murielle Wiedig,Gérard Toubeau,Paul Falmagne,Alfred Bernard +7 more
TL;DR: In mice or rat, Clara cell protein of 16-17 kDa can easily be quantified, not only in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, but also in extrapulmonary fluids such as serum or urine, and may be useful as a peripheral marker of events taking place in the respiratory tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization in diphtheria toxin fragment B of a region that induces pore formation in planar lipid bilayers at low pH.
TL;DR: A relationship between the pH dependency of pore formation and the presence of a cluster of prolines in the C‐terminal region of CB1 is proposed.
