1. Effect of setting on the gelling properties of a protein concentrate from giant squid ( Dosidicus gigas) mantle
Abstract Different studies on obtaining protein concentrates or surimi from giant squid ( Dosidicus gigas) have reported that soft gels are obtained in comparison with other fish species. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of the setting (30 and 60 °C, for 0, 30, 60, and 90 min) on the gelling capacity as a possible alternati

2. Transcript levels of ten caste-related genes in adult diploid males of Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera, Apidae): a comparison with haploid males, queens and workers
In Hymenoptera, homozygosity at the sex locus results in the production of diploid males. In social species, these pose a double burden by having low fitness and drawing resources normally spent for increasing the work force of a colony. Yet, diploid males are of academic interest as they can elucidate effects of ploidy (normal males are haploid, whereas the

3. cDNA cloning, expression and characterization of a Boophilus microplus paramyosin.
The tick Boophilus microplus is a 1-host tick that causes important losses to bovine herds, and protective antigens are being investigated in order to develop vaccines that avoid the use of acaricides. Paramyosins are multi-functional invertebrate muscle proteins, whose roles may include host immunomodulation, and seem to be a prominent candidate in a schist

4. Avaliação da imunogenicidade de epitopos de células T das proteínas Sm14 e paramiosina do schistosoma mansoni em modelo murino.
Sm14 and paramyosin are S. mansoni antigens able to induce partial protection in the murine model, and are recognized by individuals resistant to S. mansoni. Recently our group has identified Sm14 and paramyosin epitopes preferentially recognized by PBMC of S. mansoni resistant individuals [Sm14 (32-48), Sm14 (53-69), Para (6-22), Para (210-226), Para (355-3

5. Identification of immunodominant epitopes of Schistosoma mansoni vaccine candidate antigens using human T cells
Paramyosin and Sm14 are two of the six antigens selected by the World Health Organization as candidates to compose a subunit vaccine against schistosomiasis. Both antigens are recognized by individuals naturally resistant to Schistosoma mansoni infection and induced protective immunity in the murine model. Three Sm14 epitopes and eleven paramyosin epitopes w

6. Myosin-paramyosin cofilaments: enzymatic interactions with F-actin.
The interaction between paramyosin and myosin has been studied by enzymological methods. Clam adductor paramyosin inhibits the actin-activated, Mg2+-requiring ATPase of both clam adductor and rabbit skeletal muscle myosins. Myosin and paramyosin must be rapidly coprecipitated for this inhibition. Incubation with F-actin in the absence of ATP does not alter t

7. Inhibition of the Complement Membrane Attack Complex by Schistosoma mansoni Paramyosin
Larvae and adults of the parasitic blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni are resistant to killing by human complement. An earlier search by Parizade et al. for a schistosome complement inhibitor identified a 94-kDa surface protein which was named SCIP-1 (M. Parizade, R. Arnon, P. J. Lachmann, and Z. Fishelson, J. Exp. Med. 179:1625-1636, 1994). Following partial p

8. Induction of protective immunity against Schistosoma mansoni by vaccination with schistosome paramyosin (Sm97), a nonsurface parasite antigen.
Paramyosin (Sm97), a 97-kDa myofibrillar protein identified by the unusually monospecific antibody response induced by intradermal vaccination of mice with a complex soluble worm antigen preparation (SWAP) of adult Schistosoma mansoni administered with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), was purified and tested for its capacity to protect mice against challenge

9. Induction of resistance to Schistosoma mansoni infection in mice by purified parasite paramyosin.
Freeze-thaw (FT)-disrupted schistosomula or their membrane extract induced significant resistance in mice to Schistosoma mansoni infection (34 and 25%, respectively) without the use of adjuvant. Antigens identified in schistosome extracts by sera from immunized animals were then evaluated for protective potential. Immunization with schistosomal antigens of 9

10. The Immunodominant Brugia malayi Paramyosin as a Marker of Current Infection with Wuchereria bancrofti Adult Worms
The full-length cDNA sequence encoding Brugia malayi L3 paramyosin has been isolated by immunoscreening a cDNA library with a mouse antiserum raised against Wuchereria bancrofti L3 infective larvae. A recombinant truncated form of paramyosin was expressed as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein and used to evaluate humoral responses of adults from a W.

11. Matching molecules in the catch mechanism.
A new structural model is advanced to account for the specialized "catch" contraction of molluscan smooth muscles. The myosin of the thick filaments of these muscles is pictured as comprising a single layer of molecules whose assembly and activity are controlled by the underlying core of paramyosin. This organization differs from that in other muscles in whi

12. Paramyosin phosphorylation site disruption affects indirect flight muscle stiffness and power generation in Drosophila melanogaster
The phosphoprotein paramyosin is a major structural component of invertebrate muscle thick filaments. To investigate the importance of paramyosin phosphorylation, we produced transgenic Drosophila melanogaster in which one, three, or four phosphorylatable serine residues in the N-terminal nonhelical domain were replaced by alanines. Depending on the residues
