TL;DR: In the analysis of the genome, a large number of new uncharacterized genes predicted to encode proteins that either reside on the surface of the cell or are secreted are identified and there may be new targets for vaccine and antibiotic development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atorvastatin increases human serum levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
Holly E. Careskey,R. Aleks Davis,William E. Alborn,Jason S. Troutt,Guoqing Cao,Robert J. Konrad +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the addition of a PCSK9 inhibitor to statin therapy may result in even further LDL-C decreases, which are currently seen in patients treated with atorvastatin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daptomycin disrupts membrane potential in growing Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: The evidence indicates that the bactericidal activity of daptomycin is dependent on an available delta psi, and may account for many of the inhibitory effects on macromolecular biosyntheses and membrane function reported for this antibiotic.
Journal ArticleDOI
The novel apolipoprotein A5 is present in human serum, is associated with VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons, and circulates at very low concentrations compared with other apolipoproteins.
Peter J. O'Brien,William E. Alborn,John H. Sloan,Maverick Ulmer,Amechand Boodhoo,Michael D. Knierman,Albert E. Schultze,Robert J. Konrad +7 more
TL;DR: These data demonstrate for the first time that ApoA5 is a secreted protein present in human serum and is associated with specific lipoprotein particles, and indicate that the circulating concentration of human Apo A5 is very low compared with other apolipoproteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin Type 9 Is Correlated Directly with Serum LDL Cholesterol
William E. Alborn,Guoqing Cao,Holly E. Careskey,Yue-Wei Qian,Danise Rogers Subramaniam,Julian Davies,Elaine M Conner,Robert J. Konrad +7 more
TL;DR: PCSK9 is present in human serum, likely not associated with specific lipoprotein particles, and the circulating concentrations of human PCSK9 are directly correlated with LDL and total cholesterol concentrations.
