Increased nutritive value of transgenic potato by expressing a nonallergenic seed albumin gene from Amaranthus hypochondriacus

Chakraborty, Subhra, Chakraborty, Niranjan, Datta, Asis

Improvement of nutritive value of crop plants, in particular the amino acid composition, has been a major long-term goal of plant breeding programs. Toward this end, we reported earlier the cloning...

Chakraborty, Subhra, Deokule, J. S., Garg, Pallavi, Bhattacharya, S. K., Nandy, R. K., Nair, G. Balakrish, ...

In Ahmedabad, a major city in the state of Gujarat, India, an outbreak of acute secretory diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 Ogawa El Tor, V. cholerae O139, and multiple serotypes of...

Premature termination of RNA polymerase II mediated transcription of a seed protein gene in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Chakraborty, Subhra, Sarmah, Bhaskarjyoti, Chakraborty, Niranjan, Datta, Asis

The poly(A) signal and downstream elements with transcriptional pausing activity play an important role in termination of RNA polymerase II transcription. We show that an intronic sequence derived...

Association of Cytolethal Distending Toxin Locus cdtB with Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolated from Patients with Acute Diarrhea in Calcutta, India

Pandey, Mritunjay, Khan, Asis, Das, Suresh C., Sarkar, Bhaswati, Kahali, Soumen, Chakraborty, Subhra, ...

Among Escherichia coli strains isolated from stool specimens from patients with acute diarrhea, 1.4% were found to harbor cdtB by use of enrichment cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) PCR. These...

Cloning and characterization of the 5'-flanking region of the oxalate decarboxylase gene from Flammulina velutipes.

Azam, Mohammad, Kesarwani, Meenu, Chakraborty, Subhra, Natarajan, Krishnamurthy, Datta, Asis

The oxalate-degrading enzyme, oxalate decarboxylase (OXDC), was purified and characterized from Flammulina velutipes, a basidiomycetous fungus [Mehta and Datta (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266,...

Identification of a family of Bsp-A like surface proteins of Entamoeba histolytica with novel leucine rich repeats.

Davis, Paul H., Zhang, Zhi, Chen, Minghe, Zhang, Xiaochun, Chakraborty, Subhra, Stanley, Samuel L.

Leucine rich repeats serve as recognition motifs for surface proteins from bacteria and eukaryotes. The BspA protein from Bacteroides forsythus mediates bacterial binding to fibronectin and contains...
