Globally, human papillomavirus (HPV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). World Health Organization (WHO) says there are around 17.4 million women living with HIV and over 291 million HPV-infected women worldwide. The co-existence of HPV with HIV is very common which is due to frequent sup...

Garlic ( Allium sativum ), a popular food spice and flavoring agent, has also been used traditionally to treat various ailments especially bacterial infections for centuries in various cultures around the world. The principal phytochemicals that exhibit antibacterial activity are oil-soluble organosulfur compounds that include allicin, ajoenes, and...

This study reports the rapid and simple methodology for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extracts of Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed (AECS). This aqueous extract acts as the reducing agent, and the reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution at room temperature resulted in the synthesis of the AgNPs. The active ph...

Environmental disinfection greatly reduces the occurrence of nosocomial or healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) which are the major healthcare problems worldwide. In India, Ayurvedic traditional fumigation with natural plant products is used to disinfect environment. In the present study, environmental disinfection efficiency of traditional fum...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack an ordered 3D structure. These proteins contain one or more intrinsically disordered regions (IDPRs). IDPRs interact promiscuously with other proteins, which lead to their structural transition from a disordered to an ordered state. Such interaction-prone regions of IDPs are known as Molecular Recogniti...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) colonizes human intestinal tract and is usually harmless to the host. However, several strains of E. coli have acquired virulent genes and could cause enteric diseases, urinary tract and even brain infections. Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) which can result in bloody...

Bacterial expression of recombinant proteins is the most popular and convenient method for obtaining large quantities of pure protein. The induction of T7 promoter with isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is widely used for expression of large quantities of proteins in Escherichia coli. It has been reported that basic T7 promoter is leaky an...

Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes adult T-cell leukemia and lymphoma (ATL) and other neuroinflammatory diseases. The pX region of HTLV-1 genome encodes an accessory protein p30 that is required for viral persistence and spread in the host. p30 regulates viral gene expression at the transcription level by competing with Tax for p300...

Osteoporosis is associated with reduced density and quality of bone leading to weakened skeleton thereby increasing the risk of fractures responsible for increased morbidity and mortality. Due to preference for western food style the consumption of salt intake in our diets has increased many folds. High dietary salt intake has recently been linked...

Osteoporosis is one of the most important but often neglected bone disease associated with aging and postmenopausal condition leading to bone loss and fragility. Probiotics have been associated with various immunomodulatory properties and have the potential to ameliorate several inflammatory conditions including osteoporosis. Lactobacillus acidophi...

Osteoimmunology is an interdisciplinary research field which combines the existing fields of osteology (bone biology) and immunology under one umbrella. The observation that contributed enormously to the emergence of osteoimmunology as an independent field of investigation was the enhanced bone loss in various inflammatory bone diseases such as rhe...

Dengue virus is one of most rapidly growing arthropod born viral disease in the world which has serious health and economic implications. Dengue infection can lead to life threating condition with no specifi c drug or vaccine currently available for its treatment or prevention. The scenario of dengue infections in developing and under developed cou...

p>Food items that are unprocessed and do not contain preservatives, artificial colours, chemicals, fillers, artificial flavours etc are called as Natural foods. Natural foods are the best source of nutrition and health. Substances added to natural food to preserve fl avour and increase their life are named as food additives. When food is to be stor...

Changes in electrophoretic mobility upon complex formation with RNA can be used to probe structure-function relationships that are critical for complex formation. Here, we describe the application of this technique to monitor tRNA binding to the T box riboswitch antiterminator RNA.

Fluorescence anisotropy can be utilized in drug discovery screening assays to identify compounds that disrupt medicinally important RNA-macromolecular complexes. Here we describe the application of this technique to monitor tRNA binding to T box riboswitch antiterminator RNA.

Extensive studies of human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-1 and HTLV-2 over the last three decades have provided detailed knowledge on viral transformation, host-viral interactions and pathogenesis. HTLV-1 is the etiological agent of adult T cell leukemia and multiple neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases while HTLV-2 disease association remain...

Human T lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) and type 2 (HTLV-2) are closely related human retroviruses, but have unique disease associations. HTLV-1 is the causative agent of an aggressive T-cell leukemia known as adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), and other inflammatory diseases. HTLV-2...

Figure S1. Effects of REGγ and NIP30 knockdown on HTLV-1 gene expression. A) Two independent experiments (labeled 1 and 2) of control and REGγ siRNA treated 293T cells were transfected with Ach (HTLV-1 molecular clone). The knockdown of REGγ was confirmed by immunoblotting with anti-REGγ. The expression of HTLV p24 was monitored by immunoblotting....

Human T-lymphotrophic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infects approximately 15-20 million people worldwide, with endemic areas in Japan, the Caribbean, and Africa. The virus is spread through contact with bodily fluids containing infected cells most often from mother to child through breast milk or via blood transfusion. After prolonged latency periods, appr...

Human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), is complex deltaretrovirus linked to adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and a variety of immune-mediated disorders. HTLV-1 encodes a nuclear localizing protein, p30, which selectively alters viral and cellular gene expression, activates G2-M cell cycle checkpoints, and is essential for viral spread. p3...

The T box transcription antitermination system is a riboswitch found primarily in Gram-positive bacteria which monitors the aminoacylation of the cognate tRNA and regulates a variety of amino acid-related genes. Novel 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidinones were identified as high affinity RNA molecular effectors that modulate the transcription antitermin...

The T box transcription antitermination mechanism regulates the expression of unique genes in many Gram-positive bacteria by responding, in a magnesium-dependent manner, to uncharged cognate tRNA base pairing with an antiterminator RNA element and other regions of the 5'-untranslated region. Model T box antiterminator RNA is known to bind aminoglyc...

We have synthesized and tested a series of novel 3,4,5-tri- and 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidinones for their ability to bind two structurally related T box antiterminator model RNAs. We have found that optimal binding selectivity is found in a small group of 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidinones.
