Protein Import into the Peroxisomes01:27

Protein Import into the Peroxisomes

5.5K
Cells contain membrane-bound organelles called peroxisomes that oxidize organic molecules by transferring hydrogen atoms to oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide. Peroxisomes enzymatically convert the released hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Peroxisomal Protein Import:
Peroxisomes lack the genetic machinery required to code for their own proteins. Hence, most peroxisomal membrane, lumenal and transmembrane proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm or ER and transported to the peroxisome...

ABC Transporters: Importer01:27

ABC Transporters: Importer

3.5K
ATP-binding cassette or ABC transporters are a class of ATP-driven pumps that hydrolyze ATP to move solutes across the membrane. They can be grouped into importers and exporters. While exporters are present in all domains of life, importers exist only in bacteria and some plants.
In bacteria, based on the number of transmembrane helices and the chemical nature of their substrates, the ABC importers can be divided into three types:

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import01:46

Nuclear Localization Signals and Import

7.8K
Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry short stretches of amino acid sequences called the nuclear localization signal or NLS. Classical nuclear localization signals are of two types: monopartite and bipartite NLS. Monopartite classical NLS (cNLS) consists of a single cluster of 4-8 amino acids. Bipartite cNLS consists of two clusters of  2-3 amino acids and a 9-12 residue long proline-rich linker bridging the two clusters. Signal clusters are rich in positively charged amino acids such as...

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

69.2K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Leishmaniasis is an imported parasitic disease in Sweden with unknown epidemiology and incidence.
  • Understanding the disease burden is essential for public health planning and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the epidemiology and incidence of leishmaniasis in Sweden from 1993 to 2016.
  • To identify demographic, clinical, and geographical patterns of leishmaniasis cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, nationwide epidemiological study using Swedish Patient registry data (1993-2016).
  • Identified probable cases (diagnoses) and confirmed cases (laboratory-verified).
  • Analyzed incidence rates, patient demographics, clinical manifestations, and geographic origins of infection.

Main Results:

  • 299 probable and 182 confirmed leishmaniasis cases identified.
  • Annual incidence increased, with 96 confirmed cases diagnosed between 2013-2016, nearly half in children.
  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis was most common, primarily acquired in Asia (Syria, Afghanistan), with Leishmania tropica being the predominant species.

Conclusions:

  • Leishmaniasis incidence in Sweden is increasing, with a notable rise in pediatric cases.
  • Infections are predominantly acquired in endemic regions of Asia, particularly Syria and Afghanistan.
  • Enhanced awareness and diagnostic capabilities are vital for managing leishmaniasis in Sweden.
