NCC 2970 GtfB (2970 GtfB) is the only characterized 4,3-α-glucanotransferase (4,3-α-GTase) in the glycoside hydrolase (GH) 70 family belonging to the GtfB subfamily. However, the mechanism for its (α1 → 3) linkage formation remains unclear, and the structural determinants of its linkage specificity remain to be explored. Here, sequence alignment and structural comparison were conducted to identify key amino acids that may be critical for linkage specificity. Five residues of 2970 GtfB (D991, G1028, A1398, T1400, and E1405), located at donor and acceptor subsites, were selected for mutation. Product structure analysis revealed that D991 and G1028, located near the acceptor binding subsites, played crucial roles in linkage formation. Besides native (α1 → 4) and (α1 → 3) linkages, mutants G1028R and D991N showed 8 and 10% (α1 → 6) linkage increases compared to 1% for wild-type in products. Additionally, molecular docking studies demonstrated that the orientation of acceptor binding in G1028R and D991N mutants was favorable for (α1 → 6) linkage synthesis. However, the mutation at positions A1398, T1400, and E1405 indicated that the donor subsites contribute less to the linkage specificity. These results shed light on the structural determinants of linkage specificity of 4,3-α-GTase 2970 GtfB and provided insights into the structure-function relationship of family GH70.

This paper deals with studying monotonicity analysis for discrete fractional operators with Mittag-Leffler in kernel. The $ \nu- $monotonicity definitions, namely $ \nu- $(strictly) increasing and $ \nu- $(strictly) decreasing, are presented as well. By examining the basic properties of the proposed discrete fractional operators together with $ \nu- $monotonicity definitions, we find that the investigated discrete fractional operators will be $ \nu^2- $(strictly) increasing or $ \nu^2- $(strictly) decreasing in certain domains of the time scale $ \mathbb{N}_a: = \{a, a+1, \dots\} $.

Objective: Acetyl aspartic acid (A-A-A) was discovered through gene array analysis with corresponding Cmap analysis. We found that A-A-A increased keratinocyte regeneration, inhibited dermal matrix metalloprotease (MMP) expression and relieved fibroblast stiffness through reduction of the fibroblast stiffness marker F-actin. Dermal absorption studies showed successful delivery to both the epidermal and dermal regions, and in-use trial demonstrated that 1% A-A-A was well tolerated.

Background: HPV 16 is the cause of cervical carcinoma, but only a small fraction of women with HPV infection progress to this pathology. Besides persistent infection and HPV integration, several studies have suggested that HPV intratype variants may contribute to the development of cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nucleotide variability and phylogenetically classify HPV 16 E6 variants circulating over a period of 16 years in women from Southern Mexico, and to analyze its association with precursor lesions and cervical carcinoma.

[Selection of surgical strategy for abdominal aortic aneurysm coexisting with coronary artery disease; one-stage versus two-stage, and off-pump versus on-pump].

Background: In patients having a combination of severe coronary artery disease (CAD) and expanding abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), one-stage operation of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and AAA repair has been recommended.
Methods And Results: Of 96 patients (94 men, average 65 year) with AAA and CAD, 21 patients underwent one-stage operation of simultaneous CABG and AAA repair (Group A-1: off-pump CABG in 10 and on-pump in 11), and 75 underwent two-stage operation of CABG followed by AAA with an interval of less than 6 months in 23 patients (Group A-2) and more than 6 months in 52 patients (Group B). Baseline characteristics were similar between the one-stage and two-stage groups, and off-pump and on-pump subgroups, except the proportion of single vessel disease.
