For the first time, an analysis was carried out of allozyme variability in trout (Salmo trutta) from three rivers of Iran. We studied 23 gene loci coding enzymes: glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), malic enzyme [NADP-dependent MDH] (MEP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), esterase (EST), and esterase D (EST-D). The obtained data demonstrate the similarity between the trout samples from different rivers of Iran according to genetic characteristics. Taking into account the differences by allozyme markers of allele frequencies and allele composition of some loci, we should expect that Iranian trout diverges significantly in genetics from the other trout populations of the Caspian Sea.

The effect of different feeding habits on gut morphology and digestive function has been intensively studied during the last decades but sympatric closely related fishes are relatively rare objects of such studies. In the present study, we have identified both morphological and physiological changes in the digestive system of a sympatric pair of whitefish represented by "normal" Coregonus lavaretus pidschian (benthivorous) and "dwarf" C. l.

We present a detailed mass spectrometric analysis of three 2 + 1 T-cell bispecific monoclonal antibodies (TCB mAbs), where an unexpected +15.9950 Da mass shift in tryptic peptides was observed. This modification was attributed to the occurrence of 5R-hydroxylysine (Hyl) using a hybrid LC-MS/MS molecular characterization and CRISPR/Cas9 gene deletion approach.

β-Galactosidase from Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382 (BgaD) is a biotechnologically important enzyme for the synthesis of β-galactooligosaccharides (GOS). Among its four isoforms, isoform A (BgaD-A) has distinct synthetic properties. Here, we present cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of BgaD-A and compare them with the known X-ray crystal structure of isoform D (BgaD-D), revealing substantial structural divergences between the two isoforms.

Establishing Treatment Effectiveness in Fabry Disease: Observation-Based Recommendations for Improvement.

Int J Mol Sci

September 2024

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Amsterdam Gastroenterology Endocrinology Metabolism, Amsterdam UMC Location University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • Fabry disease (FD) results from mutations in a specific gene that lead to a deficiency in the enzyme α-galactosidase A, causing harmful substrate accumulation, with symptoms varying widely between male and female patients.
  • Although FD therapies like enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and chaperone therapy have been available for around 20 years, there is still limited evidence supporting their long-term effectiveness due to diverse patient populations and inconsistencies in study designs.
  • To improve future research on FD treatments, the review suggests better patient matching, international collaboration, and standardized approaches for evaluating treatment effectiveness, including clear recommendations for study outcomes and duration.

Clinical outcomes in patients switching from agalsidase beta to migalastat: A Fabry Registry analysis.

J Inherit Metab Dis

September 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed data from 83 patients with Fabry disease who switched from agalsidase beta to migalastat, focusing on their kidney function, protein levels in urine, and other heart-related measurements.
  • Results showed that kidney function (eGFR) declined more sharply after the switch, with significant differences between classic and late-onset patients.
  • The study highlights variability in patient outcomes post-switch, suggesting the need for ongoing monitoring to manage their health effectively.
