Pseudomonas sp. S-47 is capable of degrading benzoate and 4-chlorobenzoate as well as catechol and 4-chlorocatechol via the meta-cleavage pathway. The three enzymes of 2-oxopenta-4-enoate hydratase (OEH), acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (acylating) (ADA), and 2-oxo-4-hydroxypentonate aldolase (HOA) encoded by xylJQK genes are responsible for the three steps after the meta-cleavage of catechol. The nucleotide sequence of the xylJQK genes located in the chromosomal DNA was cloned and analyzed. GC content of xylJ, xylQ, and xylK was 65% and consisted of 786, 924, and 1,041 nucleotides, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of xylJ, xylQ, and xylK genes from Pseudomonas sp. S-47 showed 93%, 99%, and 99% identity, compared with those of nahT, nahH, and nahI in Pseudomonas stutzeri An10. However, there were only about 53% to 85% identity with xylJQK of Pseudomonas putida mt-2, dmpEFG of P. putida CF600, aphEFG of Comamonas testosteroni TA441, and ipbEGF of P. putida RE204. On the other hand, the xylLTEGF genes located upstream of xylJQK in the strain S-47 showed high homology with those of TOL plasmid from Pseudomonas putida mt-2. These findings suggested that the xylLTEGFIJQK of Pseudomonas sp. S-47 responsible for complete degradation of benzoate and then catechol via the meta-pathway were phylogenetically recombinated from the genes of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 and Pseudomonas stutzeri An10.

Pseudomonas sp. S-47 is capable of catabolizing 4-chlorobenzoate (4CBA) as rarbon and energy sources under aerobic conditions via the mesa-cleavage pathway. 4CBA-dioxygenase and 4CBA-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (4CBA-DD) catalyzed the degradation af 4CBA to produce 4-chlorocatechol in the pathway. In this study, the xylL gene encoding 4CBA-DD was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of Pseudomonas sp. S-47 and its nucleotide sequence was analyzed. The xylL gene was found to be composed of 777 nucleotide pairs and to encode a polypeptide of 28 kDa with 258 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the dehydrogenase (XylL) from strain S-47 exhibited 98% and 60% homologies with these of the corresponding enzymes, Pseudomonas putida mt-2 (XyIL) and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (BenD), respectively. However, the amino arid sequences show 30% or less homology with those of Pseudomonas putida (BnzE), Pseudomonas putida Fl (TodD), Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 (BphB), and Pseudomonas sp. C18 (NahB). Therefore, the 4CBA-dihydrodiol dehdrogenase of strain S-47 belongs to the group I dehydrogenase involved in the degradation of mono-aryls with a carboxyl group.

Background: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the endocrine organs. Although the majority of thyroid cancer patients experience positive outcomes, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is considered one of the most aggressive malignancies. Current therapeutic regimens do not confer a significant survival benefit, and new therapies are urgently needed. Oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) may represent a promising therapy for cancer. In the present study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of a third-generation HSV vector, $G47{\Delta}$, on various human thyroid carcinoma cell lines in vitro. Two subcutaneous (s.c.) models of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma were also established to evaluate the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of $G47{\Delta}$. Materials and Methods: The human thyroid carcinoma cell line ARO, FRO, WRO, and KAT-5, were infected with $G47{\Delta}$ at different multiplicities of infection (MOIs) in vitro. The survival rates of infected cells were calculated each day. Two s.c. tumor models were established using ARO and FRO cells in Balb/c nude mice, which were intratumorally (i.t.) treated with either $G47{\Delta}$ or mock. Tumor volumes and mouse survival times were documented. Results: $G47{\Delta}$ was highly cytotoxic to different types of thyroid carcinomas. For ARO, FRO, and KAT-5, greater than 30% and 80% of cells were killed at MOI=0.01 and MOI=0.1, respectively on day 5. WRO cells displayed modest sensitivity to $G47{\Delta}$, with only 21% and 38% of cells killed. In the s.c. tumor model, both of the anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cell lines (ARO and FRO) were highly sensitive to $G47{\Delta}$; $G47{\Delta}$ significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged the survival of mice bearing s.c. ARO and FRO tumors. Conclusions: The oHSV $G47{\Delta}$ can effectively kill different types of human thyroid carcinomas in vitro. $G47{\Delta}$ significantly inhibited growth of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma in vivo and prolonged animal survival. Therefore, $G47{\Delta}$ may hold great promise for thyroid cancer patients.

We prove a common fixed point theorem for S-contraction mappings without continuity. Using this result we obtain an approximating curve for S-nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space and prove Browder's type strong convergence theorem for this approximating curve. The demiclosedness principle for S-nonexpansive mappings is also established.

The NADPH oxidase of phagocytes catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to $O_{2}^{-}$ at the expense of NADPH The enzyme is dormant in resting neutrophils and hecomes activated on stimulation. During activation. $p47^{phox}$ (phagocyte oxidase factor), a cytosolic oxidase subunit, becomes extensively phosphorylated on a number of serines located between S303-S379. Although the biochemical role of phosphorylation is speculative, it has been suggested that phosphorylation could neutralize the strongly cationic C-terminal which may result in the change of conformation of $p47^{phox}$ and subsequent translocation of this protein and other cytosolic components to the membrane. In order to mimic the effect of phosphorylation in terms of neutralizing the positive charges, recombinant $p47^{phox}$ was treated with phenylglyoxal, which removes positive charges of arginine residues. Modification of recombinant $p47^{phox}$ resulted in the activation of oxidase in a cell-free translocation system as well as a conformational change in recombinant $p47^{phox}$ which may be responsible for the activation of the enzyme.
