Abstract

Dengue infection is a global health problem with an increasing incidence every year and now endemic in more than 100 WHO countries. Dengue infection is caused by dengue virus (DENV) which is an RNA virus with positive single strand, with ±11kb genome size encoding 3 structural proteins, 7 non-structural proteins, and two Untranslated Region (UTR). NS1 protein is known to have a very important role in the development of severe DENV infection, by the direct effect causing host cells damage and indirect effect by activating immune response to induce the secretion of excess cytokines. This study aims to evaluate whether recombinant pcNS1 plasmids which have been proven expressing recombinant NS1 proteins in previous studies is able to induce cytokine secretion from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC). Transfected Chinese Hamster Ovary-K1 (CHO-K1) cells with recombinant pcNS1 plasmid was co-cultured with PBMC from healthy donor. After 48 h post co-cultured, cell supernatant was collected and TNF-α levels and NS1 recombinant were measured by ELISA. The results showed that recombinant NS1 protein was expressed in CHO-K1 mammalian cell line and able to induce TNF-α with higher levels compared to control.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of 22 countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis in the world, particularly related to TBHIV and MDR-TB cases. Contamination of normal flora from nasopharyngeal tract is the main problem to isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) from sputum. Therefore, a safe solution to decontaminate sputum without killing MTB bacilli is needed. N-acetyl-L-cysteine-sodium hydroxide (NALC-NaOH)-based method and Petroff's method, which was modified with NaOH (4%) are widely used in laboratories. In the present study, we will evaluate the different of these methods. Of the 110 sputum samples were collected from suspected cases of Pulmonary TB, and the decontamination of sputum by these methods was performed, after acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear, then the samples were cultured in Lowensteins Jensen slant medium. The positive culture was validated by chromatography test for detecting the antigen of MPT-64 and PNB. Based on the investigation, it has been shown that neither NALC-NaOH (71%) nor modified Petroff's methods (66%) had a significant effect on the positivity rate of AFB smear. However, the contamination on culture was significantly higher in samples treated with NALC-NaOH (21%) compared to Modified Petroff methods (13%) (p< 0.05). In addition, the proportion of positive culture in NALC-NaOH was lower than modified Petroff. In conclusion, our study proved that modified Petroff methods are still more effective on sputum decontamination than NALC-NaOH based on the positivity rate of MTB culture. Though, not significantly different on AFB microscopic examination.

Abstract

Ginger is a rhizomatous perennial herb that grows abundantly in tropical areas. It has been used around the world as a spice, flavoring agent, and ingredient in traditional medicine. Ginger essential oils (GEOs) are derivatives of ginger that can be found in various products used in daily life, such as food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics. The present study analyzed the chemical compositions, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of three commercially available GEOs. The compositions of GEOs were identified using the gas chromatography method. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azinobis- (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assay methods. The antibacterial activity was determined using a disc diffusion assay based on the diameter of the inhibition zone (DIZ). The main compounds identified from the samples were zingiberene, α-curcumene, β-sesquiphellandrene, camphene, α-farnesene, β-bisabolene, α-pinene, and 3-carene. The IC50 values were found to be 5.3023 and 1.4504 mg/mL for GEO1; 0.9249 and 0.5276 mg/mL for GEO2; and 10.4463 and 3.3535 mg/mL for GEO3 when evaluated using DPPH and ABTS assay methods, respectively. All samples showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 13420 and Bacillus subtilis (collection of Indonesian Institute of Sciences), while only GEO2 and 3 displayed inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli ATCC 9637.

Abstract

Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) from bacteria shares high amino acid sequence homology and nearly identical structure. Despite of that, their characteristics are diverse, which likely due to their bacterial origin and adaptation to the environment. Most importantly, their structural similarity extends to eukaryotic MnSOD, i.e. human. Therefore, structural study of bacterial MnSOD is relevant to its human SOD and henceforth for its use in human as a therapeutic agent or a cosmetic ingredient. Further, eukaryotic MnSOD occurs as a tetramer while almost all of the prokaryotic are dimeric. In this review, relationship between the amino acid sequences and structures of MnSOD as well as their origin and evolution is discussed. The structures of FeSOD and cambialistic SOD, which are MnSOD closest homologs, are visited as the comparison. This study provides an insight to potential safe application of bacterial MnSOD, including necessary modifications to obtain desired characteristics for applications in human.

Abstract

One of the thermostable enzymes, which has been widely used in the biotechnological research, is DNA polymerase. The coding sequence of local DNA Pol I gene from a local thermophilic bacterium, namely DNA Pol I ITB-1, has been cloned, sequenced, and overexpressed. However, study on thermostability of this enzyme is very limited. In the present study, thermostability of the protein was evaluated by thermal unfolding simulation at 300, 400, and 500 K. Our simulation revealed that the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein was not significantly affected by thermal perturbation at 300 K, but they were affected and even gradually unfolded by that perturbation at 400 and 500 K. Evaluation of the root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) of individual residues from the simulation at 400 and 500 K revealed the distribution of the thermostability regions in the protein structure. From the RMSF analysis at 400 K, we found that thermostability of the 3&rsquo;-5&rsquo; exonuclease domain was lower compared to that of the other domains. Where as from the RMSF analysis at 500 K, we found that in each domain of DNA pol I ITB-1 there was a single extraordinary thermostable a-helix which was likely to be the core of each corresponding domain. Thus our simulation provides a thermostability map of DNA Pol I ITB-1. Such information will be very valuable for the next genetic engineering work in determining a mutation target to modify thermostability of this enzyme.

Abstract

The screwworm fly (Chrysomya bezziana) larva is an obligate parasite which causes myasis in mammals. Vaccination is thought to be a protective and an enviromentally friendly method for combating the pest. A gene encoding a peritrophic membrane protein Cb peritrophin-42 of C. bezziana was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Cb peritrophin-42 fused with the outer membrane protein A signal sequence was produced as an aggregate in E. coli. Expression of an Cb peritrophin-42 gene fused with oligonucleotide of the invertase signal sequence in S. cerevisiae allowed the production of 14.4 mg l-1 soluble extracellular Cb peritrophin-42. Sheep vaccinated with recombinant Cb peritrophin-42 showed a strong immunological reaction. In vivo assay following vaccination with the recombinant Cb peritrophin-42 showed a 27% reduction in the weight of recovered larvae.

Abstract

The thermostable chicken feather degrading protease enzymes used here was extracted and partially purified from thermophilic bacteria L-23 isolated from a coastal hot spring in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The L-23 was grown in the selective medium containing 1% chicken feather powder at 70 &deg;C and pH 7. The cell-free culture was precipitated with ammonium sulphate at 80% saturation, followed by heating at 65 &deg;C for 1 h before applied onto Sephadex G-100. The molecular weight of the two enzymes identified were estimated as 47 and 64 kDa. The optimum pH of the mixed enzymes preparation was 7 while the optimum temperature was 65 &deg;C. Zymogram analysis showed that one of the enzymes was still active after being heated at 100 &deg;C for 20 min and was also resistant towards organic solvents and SDS. The activity was enhanced by addition of 1 mM FeCl3.
