Complete genome sequence of the actinobacterium Amycolatopsis japonica MG417-CF17(T) (=DSM 44213T) producing (S,S)-N,N'-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid.

We report the complete genome sequence of Amycolatopsis japonica MG417-CF17(T) (=DSM 44213(T)) which was identified as the producer of (S,S)-N,N'-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid during a screening for phospholipase C inhibitors. The genome of A. japonica MG417-CF17(T) consists of two replicons: the chromosome (8,961,318 bp, 68.

CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV: a comparative study of healthy persons and kidney transplant recipients before and early after transplantation.

Objectives: Human CD26 is co-stimulatory for lymphocytes, circulates in a soluble form in blood (sCD26), and has intrinsic dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) activity. Associations between CD26 expression on the surface of T cells (CD26+/CD3+) and acute rejection and between (CD26+/CD3+)/DPPIV and clinical immunosuppression have been reported. These results encouraged the investigation of CD26 as a potential biomarker to optimize immunosuppressive therapy.
