Comparison of antioxidant activity between green and roasted coffee beans using molecular methods
(2015)Coffee is one of the most popular and widely consumed beverages worldwide due to its pleasant taste and aroma. A number of studies have been performed to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of coffee consumption on ... -
Efficient liver gene transfer with foamy virus vectors
(2013)Liver gene transfer offers hope for the correction of genetic and acquired disorders. Efficient gene transfer in large animals can be obtained with hydrodynamic gene transfer (HGT), a method that can achieve sufficient ... -
Episomal vectors based on S/MAR and the β-globin Replicator, encoding a synthetic transcriptional activator, mediate efficient γ-globin activation in haematopoietic cells
(2019)We report the development of episomal vectors for the specific γ-globin transcription activation in its native position by activator Zif-VP64, based on the Scaffold/Matrix Attachment Region (S/MAR) for episomal retention ... -
Evidence for disulfide bonds in SR Protein Kinase 1 (SRPK1) that are required for activity and nuclear localization
(2017)Serine/arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) phosphorylate Arg/Ser dipeptide-containing proteins that play crucial roles in a broad spectrum of basic cellular processes. The existence of a large internal spacer sequence that ... -
First description in Greece of mphC-positive staphylococci causing subclinical mastitis in Ewes
(2018)The aim of the present study was to describe the first mphC-positive staphylococci, including two Staphylococcus lentus (Sle-087lar and Sle-091lar) and one Staphylococcus xylosus (Sxy-228lar), isolated from samples of ... -
Genetic diversity and structure of Rhizobium leguminosarum populations associated with clover plants are influenced by local environmental variables
(2018)The identification and conservation of indigenous rhizobia associated with legume plants and their application as biofertilizers is becoming an agricultural worldwide priority. However, little is known about the genetic ... -
Grape stem extracts from three native Greek vine varieties exhibit strong antioxidant and antimutagenic properties
(2020)Background/Aim: The winemaking procedure results in the generation of stems, a by-product that is harmful to the environment. Concomitantly, stems are rich in polyphenols and, hence, they are putatively beneficial for human ... -
Identification of MAPK phosphorylation sites and their role in the localization and activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α
(2006)Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) controls the expression of most genes induced by hypoxic conditions. Regulation of expression and activity of its inducible subunit, HIF-1α, involves several post-translational modifications. ... -
Insights into the function and horizontal transfer of isoproturon degradation genes (pdmAB) in a biobed system
(2020)Biobeds, designed to minimize pesticide point source contamination, rely mainly on biodegradation processes. We studied the interactions of a biobed microbial community with the herbicide isoproturon (IPU) to explore the ... -
Lincomycin resistance gene lnu(D) in Streptococcus uberis
(2008)Streptococcus uberis UCN 42, isolated from a case of bovine mastitis, was intermediately resistant to lincomycin (MIC = 2 μg/ml) while remaining susceptible to clindamycin (MIC = 0.06 μg/ml) and erythromycin. A 1.1-kb SacI ... -
Metabolic and evolutionary insights in the transformation of diphenylamine by a Pseudomonas putida strain unravelled by genomic, proteomic, and transcription analysis
(2018)Diphenylamine (DPA) is a common soil and water contaminant. A Pseudomonas putida strain, recently isolated from a wastewater disposal site, was efficient in degrading DPA. Thorough knowledge of the metabolic capacity, ... -
Multiplex PCR assay for the rapid identification of human papillomavirus genotypes 16, 18, 45, 35, 66, 33, 51, 58, and 31 in clinical samples
(2015)The causal association between persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer has lead to the development of a variety of molecular assays for HPV detection. The present study focused on the development ... -
Occurrence and characterization of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in healthy household dogs in Greece
(2018)Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-and/or carbapenem-resistant (ESCR and/or CarbR) Enterobacteriaceae constitute a public health hazard because of limited treatment options and are endemic among humans in Greece. Recently, ... -
Optimization of Recombinant Membrane Protein Production in the Engineered Escherichia coli Strains SuptoxD and SuptoxR
(2019)Membrane proteins (MPs) execute a wide variety of critical biological functions in all living organisms and constitute approximately half of current targets for drug discovery. As in the case of soluble proteins, the ... -
The role of tissue oxygen tension in dengue virus replication
(2018)Low oxygen tension exerts a profound effect on the replication of several DNA and RNA viruses. In vitro propagation of Dengue virus (DENV) has been conventionally studied under atmospheric oxygen levels despite that in ... -
VIM-12, a novel plasmid-mediated metallo-β-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae that resembles a VIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid
(2005)A transferable plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae carried a class 1 integron containing blaVIM-12, a novel blaVIM-type gene, flanked by two copies of aacA7. blaVIM-12 was clustered between bla-VIM-1 and bla-VIM-2 and ...
