Pharmacogenetics of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: investigation of frequency of tpmt risk alleles for thiopurine toxicity and the role of sult1a1, ephx1 polymorphisms as risk factors for development of the disease Tümer, Tuğba; Arınç, Emel; Department of Biochemistry (2009) Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) risk alleles (mainly *2,*3B, *3C and *3A) are the major determinants of interindividual differences in the severe toxicity or efficacy of 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) during the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The frequencies of these risk alleles, known to functionally impair TPMT activity, were investigated among 167children with ALL and 206 healthy adult controls in Turkish population by using allele specific PCR and PCRRFLP methods. TPMT*3A and TP...
Pharmacophore modeling and virtual screening studies to identify novel selective SIRT2 inhibitors EREN, GÖKÇEN; Bruno, Agostino; Guntekin-Ergun, Sezen; Atalay, Rengül; Ozgencil, Fikriye; ÖZKAN, YEŞİM; Gozelle, Mahmut; Kaya, Selen Gozde; Costantino, Gabriele (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01) Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a class of NAD(+)-dependent protein histone deacetylases (HDACs) that catalyse the reversible deacetylation of lysine residues in the histones or non-histone substrates. Mammalian sirtuins consist of seven isoforms (SIRT1-7), which show different subcellular localizations and enzymatic functions. Among the seven human sirtuins, SIRT2 predominantly located in the cytoplasm but is enriched in the nucleus during mitosis. Its activity has been found to be modulate the pathophysiology of var...
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella isolates from different sources in Turkey Acar, Sinem; Soyer, Yeşim; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Food Engineering (2015) Salmonella enterica subsp. enteric serovars are responsible for causing the highest number of bacterial foodborne infections in the world. Antimicrobial resistance (AR) and virulence of Salmonella isolates play a critical role in systemic infections and they impose great concern to human health in severe salmonellosis cases when multidrug resistance interferes with treatment. Also, antimicrobial resistance genes might be shared with closely related human pathogens. Therefore, antimicrobial susceptibility mo...
Phenotypical characterization of microRNA-106B overexpression in MCF10A breast cell line Saygılı, Cansaran; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2013) MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs which regulate gene expression by binding to 3’UTR of their target mRNAs. Deregulated expression of microRNAs is detected in many pathologies including different types of cancers. miR-106b, is a member of miR-106b-25 cluster and overexpressed in many cancers including breast cancer. Based on miR-106b overexpression, we hypothesized that miR-106b may be an oncogene candidate. To explore miR-106b related phenotypes, we used an already miR-106b transfected model cell line sy...
Phenotypic rescue of a Bacilysin-silenced strain of Bacillus Subtilis with Bacilysin supplementation Ertekin, Ozan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2020-9) Bacillus subtilis, the model organism for the gram positive bacteria, is distinguished for its secondary metabolite synthesis. Remarkably, most of these metabolites are small peptides which are generally synthesized non-ribosomally with multifunctional enzyme complexes. Bacilysin, a dipeptide composed of L-alanine and L-anticapsin, is the smallest peptide antibiotic which is produced by several enzymatical steps, however, its biosynthesis does not fully fit the general mechanisms of NRPSs. This small molecu...
