Sequencing and genotypic analysis of the triosephosphate isomerase (TPI1) locus in a large sample of long-lived Germans (2008)

Ralser, Markus, Nebel, Almut, Kleindorp, Rabea, Krobitsch, Sylvia, Lehrach, Hans, Schreiber, Stefan, ...

Abstract Background Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is a central and conserved glycolytic enzyme. In humans, TPI is encoded by a single gene on 12p13, and associated with a rare genetic disorder, TPI...

Triose phosphate isomerase deficiency is caused by altered dimerization–not catalytic inactivity–of the mutant enzymes (2006)

Ralser, Markus, Heeren, Gino, Breitenbach, Michael, Lehrach, Hans, Krobitsch, Sylvia

Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by various mutations in the gene encoding the key glycolytic enzyme TPI. A drastic decrease in TPI activity and an...

An efficient and economic enhancer mix for PCR (2006)

Ralser, Markus, Querfurth, Robert, Warnatz, Hans-Jörg, Lehrach, Hans, Yaspo, Marie-Laure, Krobitsch, Sylvia

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a fundamental technique in molecular biology. Nonetheless, further improvements of the existing protocols are required to broaden the applicability of PCR...

Aggregation of huntingtin in yeast varies with the length of the polyglutamine expansion and the expression of chaperone proteins

Krobitsch, Sylvia, Lindquist, Susan

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansions in the huntingtin (Ht) protein. A hallmark of HD is the proteolytic production of an...

A novel role for 100 kD heat shock proteins in the parasite Leishmania donovani

Krobitsch, Sylvia, Clos, Joachim

Heat shock proteins of the 100 kD family have been known to confer general stress tolerance in yeast and plants. Several protozoan parasites possess genes for Hsp100 proteins. In Leishmania species...
