TRAF6 plays a crucial role in signal transduction of the Toll-like receptor (TLR). It has been reported that TRAF6 catalyzes the formation of unique Lys(63)-linked polyubiquitin chains, which do not lead to proteasome-mediated degradation. Here we...
We evaluated the capability of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to discriminate twelve Escherichia strains: E. blattae, E. fergusonii, E. hermanii and nine E. coli, whose ribosomal RNA (rR...
Urban air pollution, especially in developing countries, is a crucial environmental problem. Urban aerosols may contain various kinds of substances and induce harmful effects such as allergic diseases. Therefore, it is critical to clarify the biol...

The effects of the soluble forms of the endotoxin receptor molecules sMD-2 and sCD14 on bacterial growth were studied. When Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were incubated at 37 degrees C for 18 hr with either sMD-2 or sCD14, growth of these...
Deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV), trichothecene mycotoxins, are secondary metabolites produced by Fusarium fungi. Trichothecene mycotoxins cause immune dysfunction, thus leading to diverse responses to infection. The present study evaluate...
