The Sequence and a Three-Dimensional Structural Analysis Reveal Substrate Specificity among Snake Venom Phosphodiesterases

(1) Background.Snake venom phosphodiesterases (SVPDEs) are among the least studied venom enzymes.In envenomation, they display various pathological effects, including induction of hypotension, inhibition of platelet aggregation, edema, and paralysis.Until now, there have been no 3D structural studies of these enzymes, thereby preventing structure&#

Pseudomonas aeruginosa two-component system LadS/PA0034 regulates macrophage phagocytosis via fimbrial protein cupA1

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens worldwide, known for its virulence, drug resistance, and elaborate sensor-response network.The primary challenge encountered by pathogens during the initial stages of infection is the immune clearance arising from the host.The resident macrophages of barrier organs serve
