Vaccinomics Approach for Designing Potential Peptide Vaccine by Targeting Shigella spp. Serine Protease Autotransporter Subfamily Protein SigA by Arafat Rahman Oany, Tahmina Pervin, Mamun Mia, Motaher Hossain, Mohammad Shahnaij, Shahin Mahmud, K. M. Kaderi Kibria

“…Shigellosis, a bacillary dysentery, is closely associated with diarrhoea in human and causes infection of 165 million people worldwide per year. Casein-degrading serine protease autotransporter of enterobacteriaceae (SPATE) subfamily protein SigA, an outer membrane protein, exerts both cytopathic and enterotoxic effects especially cytopathic to human epithelial cell type-2 (HEp-2) and is shown to be highly immunogenic. …”

Nutritional Quality Assessment of Complementary Foods Produced from Fermented and Malted Quality Protein Maize Fortified with Soybean Flour by Abiose Sumbo H., Ikujenlola Abiodun V., Abioderin Florence I.

“…The results showed that the protein efficiency ratio (PER) and food efficiency ratio of the malted QPM fortified with soybean were 2.44 and 0.24, respectively, which was the highest among the formulated diets and compared favourably with casein (2.5) and commercial diet (2.3). The QPM-based diets had a better biological value (<60%) and true dig stibility (<60%) than the products from normal maize. …”

Different functions of PHF10 isoforms – subunits of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex by A. A. Sheynov, V. V. Tatarskiy, A. M. Azieva, S. G. Georgieva, N. V. Soshnikova

“…All PHF10 isoforms are degraded by β-TrCP ubiquitin ligase but PHF10-S isoforms contain a cluster of serins (X-cluster) for multiple phosphorylation by casein kinase I. This phosphorylation protects the β-TrCP degron from β-TrCP recognition and subsequently stabilizes the PHF10-S isoforms. …”
