The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH7805 requires urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) to utilize urea as a nitrogen source: molecular-genetic and biochemical analysis of the enzyme. (1/970)

Cyanobacteria assigned to the genus Synechococcus are an important component of oligotrophic marine ecosystems, where their growth may be constrained by low availability of fixed nitrogen. Urea appears to be a major nitrogen resource in the sea, but little molecular information exists about its utilization by marine organisms, including Synechococcus. Oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify a conserved fragment of the urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) coding region from cyanobacteria. A 5.7 kbp region of the genome of the unicellular marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain WH7805 was then cloned, and genes encoding three urease structural subunits and four urease accessory proteins were sequenced and identified by homology. The WH7805 urease had a predicted subunit composition typical of bacterial ureases, but the organization of the WH7805 urease genes was unique. Biochemical characteristics of the WH7805 urease enzyme were consistent with the predictions of the sequence data. Physiological data and sequence analysis both suggested that the urease operon may be nitrogen-regulated by the ntcA system in WH7805. Inactivation of the large subunit of urease, ureC, prevented WH7805 and Synechococcus WH8102 from growing on urea, demonstrating that the urease genes cloned are essential to the ability of these cyanobacteria to utilize urea as a nitrogen source.  (+info)

Role of apoptosis induced by Helicobacter pylori infection in the development of duodenal ulcer. (2/970)

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori affects gastric epithelium integrity by acceleration of apoptosis. However, it remains unclear what product of the bacteria causes apoptosis, or whether or not the apoptosis is involved in the development of ulcers. AIMS: To elucidate the factor from H pylori that causes acceleration of apoptosis and the role of apoptosis in the development of duodenal ulcer in H pylori infection. PATIENTS: Five H pylori negative healthy volunteers, 47 H pylori positive patients with duodenal ulcer, and 35 H pylori positive patients with gastric ulcer. METHODS: An endoscopic examination was carried out to diagnose ulcers and determine their clinical stage. To analyse apoptosis, a cell cycle analysis was performed using biopsy specimens. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between the urease activity of the H pylori strain and the level of apoptosis induced by this bacterial strain. Moreover, in duodenal ulcer patients infected with H pylori, the patients with an active ulcer exhibited a significantly higher level of apoptosis than those with ulcers at both the healing and scarring stages. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that acceleration of apoptosis in the antral mucosa caused by the urease of H pylori plays a crucial role in the development of ulcers in the duodenum.  (+info)

A novel urease-negative Helicobacter species associated with colitis and typhlitis in IL-10-deficient mice. (3/970)

A spiral-shaped bacterium with bipolar, single-sheathed flagella was isolated from the intestines of IL-10 (interleukin-10)-deficient (IL-10(-/-)) mice with inflammatory bowel disease. The organism was microaerobic, grew at 37 and 42 degrees C, and was oxidase and catalase positive but urease negative. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and biochemical and phenotypic criteria, the organism is classified as a novel helicobacter. Cesarean section-rederived IL-10(-/-) mice without helicobacter infection did not have histological evidence of intestinal inflammation. However, helicobacter-free IL-10(-/-), SCID/NCr, and A/JNCr mice experimentally inoculated with the novel urease-negative Helicobacter sp. developed variable degrees of inflammation in the lower intestine, and in immunocompetent mice, the experimental infection was accompanied by a corresponding elevated immunoglobulin G antibody response to the novel Helicobacter sp. antigen. These data support other recent studies which demonstrate that multiple Helicobacter spp. in both naturally and experimentally infected mice can induce inflammatory bowel disease. The mouse model of helicobacter-associated intestinal inflammation should prove valuable in understanding how specific microbial antigens influence a complex disease process.  (+info)

Is routine histological evaluation an accurate test for Helicobacter pylori infection? (4/970)

AIM: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of routine histology for Helicobacter pylori infection, with histology by an expert pathologist, and to compare histology with the rapid urease test (RUT), 13C-urea breath test, IgG serology and culture of antrum and corpus specimens, in a consecutive series of untreated patients presenting for upper oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One-hundred and fifteen consecutive patients underwent multiple tests for H. pylori infection: rapid urease test, 13C-urea breath test, IgG serology and histology and culture on antrum and corpus biopsy specimens. Histology was first evaluated by the pathologists in a routine examination, and then blindly reviewed by an expert pathologist with a special interest in gastrointestinal pathology. The patients were considered to be H. pylori-positive if two or more tests were positive. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients (70.4%) were found to be H. pylori positive. 13C-urea breath test and IgG serology showed the best sensitivity and specificity (100%). Both the antral and body cultures, and the rapid urease test had the highest specificity (100%). Histological diagnosis after re-evaluation by an expert pathologist showed a high sensitivity (98. 8%) and specificity (100%), and was better than routine histology (sensitivity 92.6%; specificity 90.3%). The accuracy of the rapid urease test was greater than that of routine histology, and the combination of these two tests improved the sensitivity of H. pylori detection to up to 100%. CONCLUSION: All diagnostic tests usually utilised in clinical practice have a sensitivity higher than 90%. In patients who were not pre-treated with antisecretory agents or antibiotics, the sensitivity of histological diagnosis, however, seems to be influenced by the accuracy of the histological examination. The sensitivity of routine histology, but not of revised histological diagnosis, is improved by an additional rapid urease test.  (+info)

Systemic and local immune responses against Helicobacter pylori urease in patients with chronic gastritis: distinct IgA and IgG productive sites. (5/970)

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori urease is a major target for immune responses among various bacterial components in H pylori infected patients. AIMS: To analyse the relation between systemic and local humoral immune responses to H pylori urease and grades of chronic gastritis. PATIENTS: Seventy five patients with chronic gastritis associated with H pylori infection were classified into three groups (grade I, superficial gastritis; II, atrophic gastritis, quiescent; or III, atrophic gastritis, active). METHODS: Anti-H pylori urease specific antibodies in the serum, gastric juice, and biopsy specimens were determined by ELISA or western blotting analysis. The sites for H pylori urease and its specific antibody producing B lymphocytes were confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS: In the sera of patients with grade I gastritis, weak IgG but relatively strong IgG responses to H pylori urease were observed; dominant strong IgG responses were detected in grade II gastritis. In grade III gastritis, significant IgG and IgA responses were obtained. A similar pattern of IgA and IgG responses was detected in gastric juice and tissue. H pylori urease specific, antibody producing B cells were not found in the gastric mucosa of patients with grade I gastritis despite the presence of such B cells in the duodenal bulb. Specific B cells were observed in the gastric mucosa of patients with grade II and III gastritis with atrophy. CONCLUSIONS: Purified H pylori urease, together with localisation of its specific antibody producing B cells, are useful for serological testing and histopathological analysis for determining the stage of chronic gastritis and studying the pathogenesis of H pylori infection.  (+info)

Isolation of Helicobacter pylori genes that modulate urease activity. (6/970)

Helicobacter pylori urease, a nickel-requiring metalloenzyme, hydrolyzes urea to NH3 and CO2. We sought to identify H. pylori genes that modulate urease activity by constructing pHP8080, a plasmid which encodes both H. pylori urease and the NixA nickel transporter. Escherichia coli SE5000 and DH5alpha transformed with pHP8080 resulted in a high-level urease producer and a low-level urease producer, respectively. An H. pylori DNA library was cotransformed into SE5000 (pHP8080) and DH5alpha (pHP8080) and was screened for cotransformants expressing either lowered or heightened urease activity, respectively. Among the clones carrying urease-enhancing factors, 21 of 23 contained hp0548, a gene that potentially encodes a DNA helicase found within the cag pathogenicity island, and hp0511, a gene that potentially encodes a lipoprotein. Each of these genes, when subcloned, conferred a urease-enhancing activity in E. coli (pHP8080) compared with the vector control. Among clones carrying urease-decreasing factors, 11 of 13 clones contained the flbA (also known as flhA) flagellar biosynthesis/regulatory gene (hp1041), an lcrD homolog. The LcrD protein family is involved in type III secretion and flagellar secretion in pathogenic bacteria. Almost no urease activity was detected in E. coli (pHP8080) containing the subcloned flbA gene. Furthermore, there was significantly reduced synthesis of the urease structural subunits in E. coli (pHP8080) containing the flbA gene, as determined by Western blot analysis with UreA and UreB antiserum. Thus, flagellar biosynthesis and urease activity may be linked in H. pylori. These results suggest that H. pylori genes may modulate urease activity.  (+info)

Identification of virulence genes of Helicobacter pylori by random insertion mutagenesis. (7/970)

The complete genome of the gram-negative bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori, an important etiological agent of gastroduodenal disease in humans, has recently been published. This sequence revealed that the putative products of roughly one-third of the open reading frames (ORFs) have no significant homology to any known proteins. To be able to analyze the functions of all ORFs, we constructed an integration plasmid for H. pylori and used it to generate a random mutant library in this organism. This integration plasmid, designated pBCalpha3, integrated randomly into the chromosome of H. pylori. To test the capacity of this library to identify virulence genes, subsets of this library were screened for urease-negative mutants and for nonmotile mutants. Three urease-negative mutants in a subset of 1,251 mutants (0.25%) and 5 nonmotile mutants in a subset of 180 mutants (2.7%) were identified. Analysis of the disrupted ORFs in the urease-negative mutants revealed that two had disruptions of genes of the urease locus, ureB and ureI, and the third had a disruption of a unrelated gene; a homologue of deaD, which encodes an RNA helicase. Analysis of the disrupted ORFs in the nonmotile mutants revealed one ORF encoding a homologue of the paralyzed flagellar protein, previously shown to be involved in motility in Campylobacter jejuni. The other four ORFs have not been implicated in motility before. Based on these data, we concluded that we have generated a random insertion library in H. pylori that allows for the functional identification of genes in H. pylori.  (+info)

Urease and hexadecylamine-urease films at the air-water interface: an x-ray reflection and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction study. (8/970)

We report the results of surface x-ray scattering measurements performed on urease and hexadecylamine-urease films at the air-aqueous solution interface. It is demonstrated that although hexadecylamine does not form a stable monolayer on the pure aqueous surface, it does self-assemble into a stable, well-organized structure when spread on top of a urease film at the air-water interface. It is also likely that protein and hexadecylamine domains coexist at the interface.  (+info)

Short peptides resembling the Helicobacter pylori urease antigen (UreB F8 Ser-Ile-Lys-Glu-Asp-Val-Gln-Phe) with deleted aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues, anchored through a triazine linker via the N-terminal moiety to cellulose plate were prepared. The peptides were used for binding of antibodies from sera of patients with medically confirmed atherosclerosis. Recognition of the peptides was also tested with anti-Jack beans urease antibodies. The important role of a Gly-Gly spacer separating the peptides from the cellulose support was shown. Different patterns of binding of antibodies from H. pylori infected patients and anti-Jack bean urease antibodies were observed only in the case of pentapeptides. The peptide Gly-Gly-Leu-Val-Phe-Lys-Thr was recognized by most of the tested sera ...
Helicobacter pylori produces a 550 kDa, multimeric, nickel-containing urease that catalyses the hydrolysis of urea to yield ammonia and carbonic acid. The ure gene cluster, comprised of seven genes, encodes the two structural subunits UreA (26.5 kDa) and UreB (60.3 kDa), and five accessory proteins: UreI, UreE, UreF, UreG and UreH. Accessory proteins are required for nickel ion insertion into the apoenzyme. The native protein consists of six copies each of UreA and UreB; two nickel ions are coordinated into each UreB active site. Urease is found in the cytosol, but may also localize on the surface (although this may be an artefact) and elicits a strong serum immunoglobulin response. Urease aids in colonization of the host by neutralizing gastric acid and providing ammonia for bacterial protein synthesis. Host defences are avoided by urease by continuing to neutralize acid locally and by shedding urease, which may be bound by immunoglobulin, from the surface of the bacterium. Host
Detection of bacterial urease activity has been utilized successfully to diagnose Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). While Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) also possesses an active urease, it is unknown whether detection of mycobacterial urease activity by oral urease breath test (UBT) can be exploited as a rapid point of care biomarker for tuberculosis (TB) in humans. We enrolled 34 individuals newly diagnosed with pulmonary TB and 46 healthy subjects in Bamako, Mali and performed oral UBT, mycobacterial sputum culture and H. pylori testing. Oral UBT had a sensitivity and specificity (95% CI) of 70% (46-88%) and 11% (3-26%), respectively, to diagnose culture-confirmed M. tuberculosis disease among patients without H. pylori, and 100% sensitivity (69-100%) and 11% specificity (3-26%) to diagnose H. pylori among patients without pulmonary TB. Stool microbiome analysis of controls without TB or H. pylori but with positive oral UBT detected high levels of non-H. pylori urease producing ...
Helicobacter pylori has been demonstrated as an etiologic agent of human gastritis and peptic ulcer formation. However, there is no straightforward basis to distinguish different isolates. We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the urease structural subunit genes, ureA and ureB, which, when digested with appropriate restriction endonucleases, allow the differentiation of patterns on agarose gels. PCR amplification was possible with DNA rapidly extracted from H. pylori by alkaline lysis and phenol-chloroform. The 2.4-kb PCR products amplified from 22 clinical isolates and subjected to HaeII restriction endonuclease digestion produced 10 distinct patterns on agarose gels, with two patterns being shared between five and six strains. PCR amplification of the urease genes may enable the differentiation of closely related H. pylori strains by restriction digest analysis of PCR-amplified ureA and ureB genes. ...
Urea is a nitrogen-containing compound that is produced during decarboxylation of the amino acid arginine in the urea cycle. Urea is a major organic waste product of protein digestion in most vertebrate and is excreted in urine. Some bacteria have the ability to produce an enzyme urease as part of its metabolism to break down urea. The urease is a hydrolytic enzyme which attacks the carbon and nitrogen bond with the liberation of ammonia and carbon dioxide. It is a useful diagnostic test for identifying bacteria, especially to distinguish members of the genus Proteus from Gram-negative pathogens. Proteus vulgaris is an important and fast producer of urease.. Urease test is performed by growing test organism on urea agar slant or urea broth with phenol red as an indicator with pH6.8. During the incubation period, the organism capable of producing urease enzyme hydrolyse urea and produce ammonia that raises the pH level. As the pH increases, the phenol red changes from yellowish orange as the ...
Urease Test- Principle, Procedure and Result. The objective is to determine the ability of the organism to hydrolyse urea by the action of urease enzyme. Urea is a nitrogen containing compound that is produced during decarboxylation of the amino acid arginine in the urea cycle. Proteus vulgaris Urease Positive.
Helicobacter pylori is a spiral, gram negative, microaerophilic bacterium that has been shown to be the etiological agent of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease (3, 4). It expresses two distinct nickel-containing enzymes, both of which are important for its virulence. These are a membrane bound [Ni-Fe] hydrogen-uptake hydrogenase, which permits respiratory-based energy production for the bacteria in the mucosa (19, 30), and an enzyme critical for early steps in colonization, urease (23, 25). Synthesis of metal-containing enzymes often requires the participation of accessory proteins, and the maturation of hydrogenase and urease are no exceptions. Indeed, the complete genome sequence of H. pylori reveals the presence of a full complement of urease (ureIEFGH) and hydrogenase (hypABCDEF) accessory genes (36). A number of studies exist that address these accessory genes in other bacteria and their role in the Ni-dependent maturation of urease and hydrogenase apoenzymes (7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 20, 22, 27, ...

The viability of different mechanisms of catalysis and inhibition of the nickel-containing enzyme urease was explored using the available high-resolution structures of the enzyme isolated from Bacillus pasteurii in the native form and inhibited with several substrates. The structures and charge distribution of urea, its catalytic transition state, and three enzyme inhibitors were calculated using ab initio and density functional theory methods. The DOCK program suite was employed to determine families of structures of urease complexes characterized by docking energy scores indicative of their relative stability according to steric and electrostatic criteria. Adjustment of the parameters used by DOCK, in order to account for the presence of the metal ion in the active site, resulted in the calculation of best energy structures for the nickel-bound inhibitors β-mercaptoethanol, acetohydroxamic acid, and diamidophosphoric acid. These calculated structures are in good agreement with the experimentally
A 4.6 kb DNA region of the Rhizobium meliloti strain AK631 was found to contain seven open reading frames (ORFs), all oriented in the same direction. The putative gene products of four of these ORFs were highly homologous to UreA, UreB and UreC of Klebsiella aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris and Canavalia ensiformis. The overall organisation of the DNA region analysed was ORF1, ureA (ORF 2), ORF3, ureB (ORF4), ORF5, ORF6 and ureC (ORF7), indicating that the organisation of the urease structural genes in R. meliloti differs from that of other urease genes so far characterized. ORF1 was incomplete; only the 3 end of the coding region was present. The six complete ORFs coded for polypeptides of 11.1 (UreA), 8.9 (ORF3), 10.8 (UreB), 15.0 (ORF5), 13.8 (ORF6) and 60.7 kDa (UreC). No sequence homology to known polypeptides could be detected for the gene products of ORF1, ORF3, ORF5 and ORF6. Using a lacZ fusion and insertional mutagenesis it was shown that the seven ORFs identified were ...

Ureaplasmas are unique among the mollicutes in possessing a very potent urease. Although protein and gene analysis of the ureaplasmal urease complex has shown that it resembles other procaryotic ureases in subunit structure and composition, the specific activity of the ureaplasmal urease is much higher and was estimated to exceed that of jack bean urease by about 100-fold. More importantly, ureaplasmas appear to be unique among procaryotes in requiring urea for growth. [...] The dependence of ureaplasmas on urea for growth has led to the hypothesis that intracellular urea hydrolysis and the resulting intracellular accumulation of ammonia/ammonium ions is coupled to ATP synthesis through a chemiosmotic type of mechanism. Experimental support for the generation of a transmembrane potential, with resultant ATP synthesis through the ureaplasmal F0F1-type ATPase, first provided by Romano et al.

The test is performed at the time of gastroscopy. A biopsy of mucosa is taken from the antrum of the stomach, and is placed into a medium containing urea and an indicator such as phenol red. The urease produced by H. pylori hydrolyzes urea to ammonia, which raises the pH of the medium, and changes the color of the specimen from yellow (NEGATIVE) to red (POSITIVE). Among different kinds of rapid urease tests (liquid-based, gel-based, dry cool) there is a design type with single-layer sensitive element - a layer impregnated simultaneously with urea and an indicator composition. Such a design bears the risk of false-positive result due to the pH value of the gastric biopsy when it is placed on the sensitive element. Excessive salivation and alkaline bile reflux into the stomach can shift the pH value of the biopsy of the stomach towards alkaline. Drugs that reduce the acidity of the stomach, also contribute to false positive results resulting from the alkalization. In each of these cases, the pH of ...

The principle of the urease test is to determine whether an organism has the ability to hydrolyze urea into two molecules of ammonia by the enzyme urease (urea amidohydrolase) which results in increased alkalinity of the medium. This increase in alkalinity is detected by the use of phenol red as the pH indicator, changing from a orange-red to a bright pink. (1) Urea R Broth is designed to be both rapid and sensitive for the detection of urease. Urea R Broth utilizes weak pH buffers monopotassium phosphate and disodium phosphate in very low concentrations in order to detect the smallest amount of alkali. Yeast extract acts as a source of nutrients, carbon, and nitrogen for those organisms incapable of using ammonia as a nitrogen source. (1) There are several different formulas for determining the urease reaction of a microorganism. For the strong urease producers like Proteus spp. there is Rustigian and Stuarts Urea Broth. For the weak urease producers such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and ...
1. Urease of specific activity 160-180 Sumner units/g. (Sumner, 1951) was purified from jack-bean meal. The preparation was pure on the basis of polyacryl-amide-gel electrophoresis and N-terminal studies. 2. By using both the 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene method and the phenyl isothiocyanate method a single N-terminal methionine residue was found. 3. A single C-terminal sequence -Tyr-Leu-Phe was found by studies with carboxypeptidase A, carboxypeptidase B and hydrazinolysis. 4. N-Bromosuccinimide cleavage showed that five unique tryptophan sequences were present: Trp-Ala, Trp-Glu, Trp-Gly, Trp-Met and Trp-Arg. 5. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate showed that urease had a subunit molecular weight of 76000. 6. The yield of N- and C-terminal amino acids, the number of tryptic peptides and tryptophan sequences and the above polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic measurement all suggest that urease contains a single structural subunit of molecular weight 75000.. ...

Rapid urease test (RUT) is the most commonly used biopsy-based method to diagnose Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection because of its simple, rapid and accurate characters. However, its sensitivity was reported to decrease during ulcer bleeding recently. So it is an important issue to avoid a false negative test in these patients. Siddique et al reported that the sensitivity of RUT could be increased when the biopsy number increased from 1 to 4. Other studies demonstrated that additional biopsy from gastric body would increased the sensitivity of RUT in patients with ulcer bleeding. Therefore, we design this study to see if increased number of biopsy or different location of biopsy could increase sensitivity of RUT in patients with gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding.. After receiving explanation and giving consent, these patients with gastric or duodenal ulcer bleeding diagnosed after endoscopic examination will be enrolled. Those who are unstable, have received antibiotic or continuous proton pump ...

General Information: This genus consists of organisms that colonize the mucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract or are found enterohepatically (in the liver). It was only recently discovered (1983) by two Australians (Warren and Marshall) that this organism was associated with peptic ulcers. It is one of the most common chronic infectious organisms, and is found in half the worlds population. This organism attacks the gastric epithilial surface, resulting in chronic gastritis, and can cause more severe diseases including those that lead to gastric carcinomas and lymphomas, peptic ulcers, and severe diarrhea. It is an extracellular pathogen that persists in the gastric environment, which has a very low pH, by production of the urease enzyme, which converts urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide, a process which can counteract the acidic environment by production of a base. The toxins include cytolethal distending toxin, vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) that induces host epithelial cell apopoptosis ...

The characterization of the immunological cascades of the innate immune system activated by pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP) recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRR) have allowed the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the immunomodulatory properties of adjuvants. Thus, the combinatorial use of adjuvants with specific, complementary functions is investigated to achieve tailored immune responses to subunit vaccines. We have previously shown how combinatorial administration of chitosan and cholera toxin B or muramyl-di-peptide (MDP) intranasally, but not intramuscularly, can allow small doses of MDP which, when administered alone cannot adjuvantise Helicobacter pylori urease (rUre), achieve an immunomodulatory effect through the specific physiological effect of chitosan. The aim of this study was to investigate if in the context of rUre the adjuvantising effect of MDP could be realized via the intramuscular route by combination with aluminium hydroxide, as compared with ...

Yeasts represent one of the growth forms of fungi. They are unicellular, and reproduce mostly by budding or less often by fission. Most medically important yeasts originate from the division of Ascomycota or from the division of Basidiomycota. A simple biochemical reaction, the urease test, can usually distinguish the yeasts from each of the divisions. Ascomycetous yeasts are usually urease negative, whereas basidiomycetous yeasts are urease positive.

Costs, expressed in Canadian dollars, were tabulated over a 1-year time period. The main outcome measured by the team was relief of symptoms. This was defined as the absence of symptom persistence or recurrence over the 12 months. The researchers compared performing a biopsy for the detection of H. pylori with a rapid urease test during gastroscopy, with that of not performing a biopsy. They also performed a secondary analysis, where they evaluated the cost-effectiveness of obtaining a biopsy specimen for histopathologic evaluation in patients after a negative rapid urease test.. The researchers found that endoscopy with biopsy and rapid urease testing costs $3940 per additional symptom-free patient, compared with endoscopy without biopsy. However, they determined that this result was sensitive to the difference in symptomatic recurrence rate at 1 year, in patients in whom H. pylori eradication was successful and unsuccessful. The team set this rate at 10%.. Only when the difference in ...

Goal of VPM is the development of a recombinant urease C-deficient listeriolysin expressing BCG vaccine strain (VPM1002) as a safe, well tolerated and efficacious vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) for residents in endemic areas and persons at risk in non-endemic areas. The new vaccine should be at least as potent as the current strain and should be safer than BCG (Kaufmann, 2007a; Grode et al., 2005). The vaccine is formulated as live lyophilised bacteria to be re-suspended before intradermal injection. The preceding clinical trials in 80 volunteers in Germany and 24 volunteers in Bloemfontein, South Africa indicated immunogenicity and safety being sufficient for proceeding with the clinical development in newborn infants. Hence, the current study is commenced at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. This is the first investigation of VPM1002 in newborn infants ...

Ureases (urea amidohydrolases; EC 3.5.1.5) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis reaction of urea to ammonia and carbamate, which then decomposes through a spontaneous reaction of carbon dioxide in a second molecule of ammonia. These enzymes have been isolated from a wide variety of organisms including plants, fungi and bacteria [1, 2].. The urease extracted from Canavalia ensiformis seeds is one of the landmarks in the study of enzymes. It was the first enzyme to be crystallized, demonstrating that enzymes are proteins [3]. It was also the first one to be identified as a metalloenzyme containing nickel in its active site [4].. The classical urease, called jack bean urease (JBU), is composed of a polypeptide chain of 840 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 90 kDa. The minimum active form is a trimer of 270 kDa and it is often found in its native form as a hexamer of 540 kDa [5, 6]. The second isoform of jack bean urease, canatoxin (CNTX), was isolated from the seed and originally ...
bring about inactivation of biomolecules by oxidation.. Urease activity and AA Intriguingly, there is no consensus of opinion whether at all, and if yes, how AA interacts with ureases. In the early works the acid was reported to be a strong urease inhibitor (IC50=5.7 M) with the action prevented by cysteine32 . Later it was suggested that the inhibition was due to a reaction of DHA with the enzyme thiol groups33 . DHA, however, was later proved not to be an inhibitor, and instead it was proposed that the inhibition was provoked by the presence of traces of Cu2+ ions, which when reduced by AA, formed an inhibitory product Cu2 O34 . In refs. 32 C33, the buffers applied were not specified. A subsequent study performed in 0.7M phosphate buffer pH 6.835 , showed that neither ascorbic (up to 1.1mM), nor dehydroascorbic or 2,3-diketogulonic acid themselves were urease inhibitors, but that ascorbic and 2,3-diketogulonic acid inhibited the enzyme in the presence of Cu2+ (15.6 M). The inhibition by AA was ...
Most patients with neurological Lyme Disease and coinfections (i.e., MS, ALS, Parkinsons Disease, Autism), have elevated levels of ammonia in the brain which is neurotoxic. This is due to the fact that the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, produces urease enzymes, and ammonia accumulation results. Sometimes ammonia levels will be elevated in the blood, but many times they are also normal. This is because the ammonia concentration is localized in specific tissues (brain), where the concentration is not high enough to be detected in the blood. But that doesnt mean that ammonia is not causing destruction. It is VERY neurotoxic, and needs to be removed with herbal supplements and diet changes ...
Bio-catalytic micro- and nanomotors self-propel by the enzymatic conversion of substrates into products. Despite the advances in the field, the fundamental aspects underlying enzyme-powered self-propulsion have rarely been studied. In this work, we select four enzymes (urease, acetylcholinesterase, glucose oxidase, and aldolase) to be attached on silica microcapsules and study how their turnover number and conformational dynamics affect the self-propulsion, combining both an experimental and molecular dynamics simulations approach. Urease and acetylcholinesterase, the enzymes with higher catalytic rates, are the only enzymes capable of producing active motion. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that urease and acetylcholinesterase display the highest degree of flexibility near the active site, which could play a role on the catalytic process. We experimentally assess this hypothesis for urease micromotors through competitive inhibition (acetohydroxamic acid) and increasing enzyme rigidity ...
Despite its widespread use for roads, asphalt presents significant problems related to the environment (due to the use of bitumen compounds), sustainability (due to the use of oil) and its variable price, which makes it necessary to consider at least new materials for road construction. It is possible that the future of more sustainable and economical road construction lies in a bacterium called Bacillus Pasteurii, which combined with sand produces solid sandstone very quickly, forming a ready-to-use pavement ...

Domain combinations containing the Urease, gamma-subunit superfamily in Bacillus pseudofirmus OF4. Domain architectures illustrate each occurrence of the Urease, gamma-subunit superfamily.
Urease is found in plant seeds, bacteria, and various sea creatures. It splits urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. Ammonia is an alkaline substance; when urease is active, the pH value on the surface of the enzyme rises. Because of the negative charge on its surface, urease has a high affinity for positively charged metal ions. In a zinc nitrate solution, the zinc ions aggregate around the urease. The local pH value on the surface of the enzyme can be finely tuned to values ideal for the formation of zinc oxide. The increasing zinc ion concentration at a suitable pH value catalyzes the formation and growth of ZnO crystals. The enzyme cores thus become surrounded by nanoshells of zinc oxide. These have a diameter of about 18 nm. By using slightly modified urease molecules, the size of the zinc oxide shells can be varied.

Chemists created a nonpermanent adhesive from a natural chemical reaction that can be used in the biomedical field. This discovery may benefit tissue repair or drug delivery. The scientific journal Angewandte Chemie recently published this collaborative work between LSU and University of Sheffield researchers.. The scientists studied the natural chemical process that occurs when urea, a molecule found in urine, is broken down by the enzyme urease, which produces ammonia and carbon dioxide. Based on previous studies, scientists know how long it takes urease to break down urea, which can be used to create a chemical process called a pH clock reaction. They chose urea and urease because it is one of the few nontoxic and natural clock reactions. By adding water and two chemicals -- a sulfur-based thiol and a synthetic acrylate--during the urea-urease clock reaction, the researchers were able to create a thin, water-soluble adhesive gel.. LSU doctoral candidate Elizabeth Jee led the study. Jee ...
The organism lives within or beneath the gastric mucous layer, somewhat protected from stomach acid. H. pylori has potent urease activity, which hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and bicarbonate and increases its resistance to the stomachs low pH environment. H. pylori recognizes and binds to specific receptors expressed by gastric epithelial cells and, therefore, is able to adhere tightly to the epithelial cell surface. This attachment process may morphologically or functionally alter the epithelial cell. The organism has been found adherent to ectopic gastric epithelium throughout the GI tract, that is, esophagus (Barretts), duodenum (gastric metaplasia), small intestine (Meckels diverticulum), and rectum (ectopic patches of gastric mucosa)..

Introduction. Planning exercise Aim: To plan an investigation to find out how changes in the consumption of protein in the diet influence the excretion of urea in humans. Introduction: I will need to measure the amount of urea produced by people with different protein intakes. I will use the enzyme urease to break the urea down into the alkaline ammonium carbonate and titrate this against an acid to find its concentration. Prediction: I think that the more protein the consumer has in their diet, the more urea will be secreted, therefore the ammonium carbonate will have a higher concentration. Hypothesis: Chains of amino acids make proteins. When too much protein is consumed those not needed for protein synthesis go through a process called deamination in the liver. The amino group and a hydrogen are removed from the amino acid and form ammonia (NH ) . This is then converted to urea which is less toxic and soluble. NO + CO = (NH ) CO. The urea is carried away by the blood to the kidney where it ...
