| molecular structure of rarobacter faecitabidus protease i. a yeast-lytic serine protease having mannose-binding activity. | rarobacter faecitabidus protease i (rpi) is a serine protease exhibiting lytic activity toward living yeast cells. rpi is similar to elastase in its substrate specificity and has a lectin-like affinity for mannose. the gene encoding rpi was cloned to elucidate its structure and function. and its nucleotide sequence revealed that it contains an open reading frame encoding a 525-amino acid protein. homology comparison indicated that pre-pro-rpi consists of three domains: (1) an nh2-terminal prepro ... | 1992 | 1339445 |
| oerskovia xanthineolytica implicated in peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis: case report and review of oerskovia infections in humans. | oerskovia species are nocardialike bacteria that have been implicated as pathogens only rarely. these organisms are branched, gram-positive bacilli that are oxidase negative, catalase positive, and non-acid fast. unlike nocardia species, these organisms are motile, do not produce aerial mycelia, and possess a cell wall with large amounts of galactose. colonies are bright yellow and produce branched vegetative hyphae on nutrient agar. a 70-year-old patient undergoing chronic ambulatory peritoneal ... | 1990 | 2229375 |
