A 260 kDa cytosolic complex (SP-1) was purified from guinea pig neutrophils. SP-1 was composed of 63 kDa, 47 kDa and 39 kDa proteins. The 63 kDa and 47 kDa proteins proved to correspond to human p67phox and p47phox by Western blot analysis, whereas Western blot and amino acid sequence analyses revealed that the 39 kDa protein was a novel protein. The 47 kDa protein was separated from the 63 kDa and 39 kDa proteins by dithiothreitol (DTT)-treatment. On the other hand, the 63 kDa and 39 kDa proteins were not separated with DTT, detergent and ethanol treatment. These results suggest that the 39 kDa protein tightly associates with the 63 kDa protein and may regulate the function of the 63 kDa protein.

This study investigates the use of recombinant peptidases (EC 3.4) to improve protein hydrolysis and digestibility in , with a focus on addressing the challenge of reduced protein bioavailability for monogastric animals due to resistant protein-pigment formations, such as phycocyanin, and increased digesta viscosity caused by jellification properties. A library of 192 peptidases was generated, from which 142 soluble peptidases were expressed in and subsequently screened for activity against an suspension .

Lectins that can recognize and bind to carbohydrates and glycoconjugates are at the epicentre of research owing to their prospective applications. In the present study, a D-fucose binding lectin from the serum of darkling beetle, Zophobas morio was purified and their mitogenic potential over human B-cells was evaluated. Biochemical assays on the preliminary characterization revealed the occurrence of single D-fucose binding lectin.

Background: Microbial cholesterol oxidase (ChoX) has wide clinical and industrial applications; therefore, many efforts are being made to identify promising sources. This study aimed to isolate a novel ChoX-producing bacterial strain from whey samples.
Results: The most efficient strain was selected based on extracellular ChoX-producing ability and characterized as Escherichia fergusonii (E.
