The x-ray structure of a complex of HIV-1 protease (PR) with a phenylnorstatine inhibitor Z-Pns-Phe-Glu-Glu-NH2 has been determined at 1.03 A, the highest resolution so far reported for any HIV PR complex. The inhibiot shows subnanomolar Ki values for both the wild-type PR and the variant representing one of the most common mutations linked to resistance development. The structure displays a unique pattern of hydrogen bonding to the two catalytic aspartate residues. The high resolution permints to assess the donor/acceptor relations of this hydrogen bonding and to indicate a proton shared by the two catalytic residues. Structural mechanism for the unimpaired inhibition of the protease Val82Ala mutant is also suggested, based on energy calculations and analyses
Dramatically Higher Sensitization to Outdoor Plant Allergens in Czech than in Ukrainian Atopic Patients
Gusareva, Elena ; Havelková, Helena ; Belozorov, A. P. ; Blažková, Hana ; Savvo, A. ; Lipoldová, Marie
Inherited predisposition to hyperproduction of IgE against common environmental allergens. It is a major risk factor for clinical expression of allergic diseases.The prevalence of atopic disorders is rising worldwide, but the reason for this is unknown. Moreover, the allergens triggering and supporting the development of atopy vary in different areas. The reason for this most likely includes diversity of allergens prevalence in different environment. Therefore, determination of major allergens is important when performing diagnostic testing and selecting immunotherapy. It also could provide important clues to the etiology of atopic disorders in a certain geographical area.
Immunity in the eye as a model of immunological priveledge site

The results show the significant role of CD4+ T cells, macrophages and NO produced by macophages during the rejection of the corneal allo- and xenografts.
Charakterizace klonů odvozených od kolorektální nádorově buněčné linie HT29
Šloncová, Eva ; Kučerová, Dana ; Vojtěchová, Martina ; Turečková, Jolana ; Tuháčková, Zdena ; Sovová, Vlasta
During our analysis of HT29 cell line we established several clones, which differed in the expression of some molecular markers, e.g. phosphorylation of Src protein, PKCbeta2 activity, CEA-CAM1 expression and in the response to the differentiating effect of sodium butyrate, indicated by activity of alkaline phosphatase
Antibodies against receptors coupled with G-proteins
Hýblová, D. ; Veselský, Leopold ; Velek, Jiří ; Železná, Blanka
Two antibodies against angiotensin receptor AT2 prepared against two short sequences recognized the receptor on Western blots of several rat and mouse tissues where AT2 is expressed. Both antibodies recognized the identical proteins; they lost this property after immunoabsorption with their antigen peptides. With one antibody, we were able to immunoprecipitate the receptor.
Karbonická anhydráza IX (CA IX) zprostředkuje reakce nádorových buněk s mikroprostředím
Závada, Jan ; Závadová, Zuzana
CA IX mediates interaction between tumor cells and microenvironment in several ways: it is enzymatically active, it regulates pH and drives ion transport from/to the cell; CA IX is also an adhesion molecule, mediating cell-cell contact; it serves as a pH sensor and it participates in tumor invasion and metastasis
Interaction of sperm surface proteins in the reproduction process
Jonáková, Věra ; Kraus, Marek ; Maňásková, Pavla ; Liberda, J. ; Tichá, M.
Mammalian fertilization includes highly regulated biochemical interactions between complementary molecules located on the surfaces of both gametes as well as those present in the natural environment of the gametes. Boar seminal plasma proteins AQN, AWN spermadhesins and DQH protein that are bound to the sperm at ejaculation play important role in the reproduction process. Binding of sperm to epithelial cells, recognition of gametes and binding of sperm to glycoprotein of zona pellucida are mediated by protein-saccharide interaction, lektin-type interaction. Another type of interaction (protein-protein) participates in the formation of aggregated forms, which seem to be the natural functional forms of seminal plasma proteins. Protein aggregates form the sperm coating layers and their re-modeling in the female reproductive tract is imporatnt for the sperm capacitation and for the primary binding of spermto the ovum.
