Naturally occurring variants of human serum transthyretin (prealbumin) have been prepared by recombinant DNA methods and crystallized from ammonium sulfate solutions to give crystals suitable for x-ray crystallographic analysis. Included are variants which are known to be associated with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy. Dyes which have been used as histochemical stains to identify amyloid tissue deposits: Congo Red, Methylene Blue and Bromophenol Blue, have been co-crystallized with the transthyretin variants. Congo Red was found to be very selective while Methylene Blue actually assisted in the formation of crystals. All crystal forms which were examined were isomorphous to the structure of normal transthyretin.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011228 Prealbumin A tetrameric protein, molecular weight between 50,000 and 70,000, consisting of 4 equal chains, and migrating on electrophoresis in 3 fractions more mobile than serum albumin. Its concentration ranges from 7 to 33 per cent in the serum, but levels decrease in liver disease. Proalbumin,Transthyretin

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
