Open AccessAngiopoietin-like 2 is essential to aortic valve development in mice
Aortic valve (AoV) abnormalities during embryogenesis are a major risk for the development of aortic valve stenosis (AVS) and cardiac events later in life. Here, we identify an unexpected role for Angiopoietin...

Analysis of 51 cyclodipeptide synthases reveals the basis for substrate specificity
Cyclodipeptide synthases use amino acid–loaded tRNAs as substrates to form cyclic peptide dimers. Biochemical and bioinformatic analyses now show that these enzymes are distributed into two phylogenetically di...

Clinical, Functional and Genetic Analysis of Twenty-Four Patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease – Identification of Eight Novel Mutations in CYBB and NCF2 Genes
Chronic granulomatous disease is an inherited disorder in which phagocytes lack a functional NADPH oxidase and cannot produce superoxide anions. The most common form is caused by mutations in CYBB encoding gp91ph...

Transcriptional and preliminary functional analysis of the six genes located in divergence of phoR/phoP in Streptomyces lividans
Streptomyces lividans senses and adjusts to a situation of Pi limitation via the expression of genes of the pho regulon controlled by the two-component system PhoR/PhoP. Interestingly, an in sili...

Rare Duplication or Deletion of Exons 6, 7 and 8 in CYBB Leading to X-Linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease in Two Patients from Different Families
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare congenital disorder in which phagocytes cannot generate superoxide (O 2 − ) and other microbicidal oxidants due to mutat...

Withaferin A induces apoptosis in human melanoma cells through generation of reactive oxygen species and down-regulation of Bcl-2
A high resistance and heterogeneous response to conventional anti-cancer chemotherapies characterize malignant cutaneous melanoma, the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. Withaferin A (WFA), a with...

First Report of Clinical, Functional, and Molecular Investigation of Chronic Granulomatous Disease in Nine Jordanian Families
Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare inherited immunodeficiency syndrome caused by mutations in four genes encoding essential nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex components.

Article
Characterization of six novel mutations in the CYBB gene leading to different sub-types of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease
Chronic granulomatous disease is an inherited disorder in which phagocytes lack a functional NADPH oxidase and so cannot generate superoxide anions (O 2 − ). Th...

A novel and unusual case of chronic granulomatous disease in a child with a homozygous 36-bp deletion in the CYBA gene (A220) leading to the activation of a cryptic splice site in intron 4
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare congenital disorder in which phagocytes cannot generate superoxide (O2 –) and other microbicidal oxidants because of mutations in one of the four com...
