Identification of a Novel IS-6 Nudix Hydrolase Nh-9 Involved in Ochratoxin A Detoxification by Transcriptomic Profiling and Functional Verification.

Contamination of foods and feeds with Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a global problem, and its detoxification is challenging. In this study, IS-6 culture isolate supernatant degraded 1.5 g/mL OTA by 89% after 24 h of incubation at 37 °C, whereas viable cells and intra-cell extracts were less effective.

Corepressors SsnF and RcoA Regulate Development and Aflatoxin B Biosynthesis in NRRL 3357.

is a saprophytic fungus that can be found across the entire world. It can produce aflatoxin B (AFB), which threatens human health. CreA, as the central factor in carbon catabolite repression (CCR), regulates carbon catabolism and AFB biosynthesis in .

Thermal and Acidic Treatments of Gluten Epitopes Affect Their Recognition by HLA-DQ2 .

Celiac disease (CD) is a prevalent disorder with autoimmune features. Dietary exposure of wheat gluten (including gliadins and glutenins) to the small intestine activates the gluten-reactive CD4 T cells and controls the disease development. While the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is the single most important genetic factor of this polygenic disorder, HLA-DQ2 recognition of gluten is the major biological step among patients with CD.
