Long-term clinical course of immunotactoid glomerulopathy complicated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

We report a case of immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) complicated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A 68-year-old woman presented with leg edema and was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome (NS). Renal biopsy revealed ITG.

Contribution of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase to the photosynthetic rate and carbon flow in the Calvin cycle in transgenic plants.

To clarify the contributions of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) separately to the carbon flux in the Calvin cycle, we generated transgenic tobacco plants expressing cyanobacterial FBPase-II in chloroplasts (TpF) or Chlamydomonas SBPase in chloroplasts (TpS). In TpF-11 plants with 2.3-fold higher FBPase activity and in TpS-11 and TpS-10 plants with 1.

Immunological properties of sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase from Chlamydomonas sp. W80.

Here we report on the production of functional recombinant SBPase of Chlamydomonas sp. W80 in Escherichia coli and the one-step purification of a polyhistidine-tagged fusion protein. The polyclonal antibody was raised against purified recombinant enzyme and cross-reacted with crude SBPase from Chlamydomonas, spinach, tobacco, and Arabidopsis leaves.
