The JAL antigen (RH48) is the result of a change in RHCE that encodes Arg114Trp.

21 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: The JAL antigen (Rh48) was discovered more than 30 years ago when it caused hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in an African American family. A decade later it was found to cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in a ... Read more...

Structural basis for the lack of E2 interaction in the RING domain of TRAF2.

8 Nov 2009 TRAF proteins are intracellular signal transducers for a number of immune receptor superfamilies. Specifically, TRAF2 interacts with members of the TNF receptor superfamily and connects the receptors to downstream signaling proteins. It has been ... Read more...

Sortase activity is controlled by a flexible lid in the pilus biogenesis mechanism of gram-positive pathogens.

8 Nov 2009 Pili are surface-linked virulence factors that play key roles in infection establishment in a variety of pathogenic species. In Gram-positive pathogens, pilus formation requires the action of sortases, dedicated transpeptidases that covalently ... Read more...
