Discovery of conserved peptide-MHC epitopes for directly alloreactive CD8+ T cells by Alexandra E. Hill, Eric T. Son, Moumita Paul-Heng, Chuanmin Wang, Shivanjali Ratnaseelan, Martina Denkova, Pouya Faridi, Asolina Braun, Anthony W. Purcell, Nicole A. Mifsud, Alexandra F. Sharland

“…In conclusion, small animal studies have demonstrated the feasibility of high-throughput approaches for the discovery of pMHC epitopes recognised by directly alloreactive T cells. Translating this approach to the human setting is achievable and will yield both critical insights into the fundamental basis of alloreactivity and powerful tools for immune monitoring in transplantation.…”

Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulations of the HLA-G Gene by Erick C. Castelli, Luciana C. Veiga-Castelli, Layale Yaghi, Philippe Moreau, Eduardo A. Donadi

“…The HLA-G promoter region is different from the classical class I promoters, mainly because (i) it lacks regulatory responsive elements for IFN-γ and NF-κB, (ii) the proximal promoter region (within 200 bases from the first translated ATG) does not mediate transactivation by the principal HLA class I transactivation mechanisms, and (iii) the presence of identified alternative regulatory elements (heat shock, progesterone and hypoxia-responsive elements) and unidentified responsive elements for IL-10, glucocorticoids, and other transcription factors is evident. …”

Are Ancient Durum Wheats Less Toxic to Celiac Patients? A Study of α-Gliadin from Graziella Ra and Kamut by M. Stella Colomba, Armando Gregorini

“…For all accessions, a few α-gliadin alleles were also cloned, sequenced and translated into aminoacid sequences. Several aminoacid substitutions or deletions were detected in p31–49, DQ2-Glia-α1 and DQ2-Glia-α2 epitopes, nevertheless, ELISA constantly showed antibody-antigen positive reactions which led us to suggest that mAbs binding was not apparently affected by polymorphisms. …”

Blueprint for a high-performance biomaterial: full-length spider dragline silk genes. by Nadia A Ayoub, Jessica E Garb, Robin M Tinghitella, Matthew A Collin, Cheryl Y Hayashi

“…Each gene includes a single enormous exon (>9000 base pairs) that translates into a highly repetitive polypeptide. Patterns of variation among sequence repeats at the amino acid and nucleotide levels indicate that the interaction of selection, intergenic recombination, and intragenic recombination governs the evolution of these highly unusual, modular proteins. …”
