  1. 16. Role of HAMLET and metabolism in treatment and pathogenesis of pneumococci

    Författare :Goutham Vansarla; Malmö Experimentell infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Antibiotic resistance; Alpha-lactalbumin; HAMLET; Biofilms; Bacterial metabolism; Immunomodulatory effects.;

    Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the principle public health problems in the 21st century, threatening the available treatment strategies for bacterial infections. Here, we present a human protein-lipid complex, HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) purified from human milk as a potential therapeutic agent which has both tumoricidal and bactericidal activity.

  2. 17. Structure-function analysis of HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells)

    Författare :Jenny Pettersson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-lactalbumin HAMLET oleic acid protein folding tumor cell death;

    Sammanfattning : The human genome sequence encodes fewer proteins than expected, suggesting that one protein can have several functions and adjust their structure to meet different structural demands. Changes in tertiary structure have mostly been associated with disease and the most striking example is the prion protein, which changes from a mixed alpha-helical and beta-sheet conformation to the beta-sheet rich, disease causing iso-form.

  3. 18. Structure and Function of HAMLET: Epitopes, Membrane Interactions and Molecular Recognition

    Författare :Chin Shing Ho; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : HAMLET (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells) is a complex of partially unfolded human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that kills many different types of tumor cells and shows therapeutic efficacy in animal models and clinical studies. This thesis aims to (1) elucidate the structure of HAMLET and the exposure of biologically active domains, (2) define the contribution of lipids to the tumoricidal effect of HAMLET, (3) characterize the membranes response to HAMLET and the perturbation of membrane associated signaling cascades, (4) use proteomic screens to identify conserved features of HAMLET targets in tumor cells.

  4. 19. Human milk as a source of tumor killing molecules. From MAL to HAMLET

    Författare :Anki Mossberg; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alphalactalbumin; human milk; Protein folding; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : HAMLET (Human alphalactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells), a complex between the partially unfolded alphalactalbumin and oleic acid, was discovered by serendipity when anti-adhesive properties of human milk were examined. HAMLET kills tumor cells but not healthy differentiated cells. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Protein folding variants, for better or for worse? The lesson learned from HAMLET

    Författare :Malin Svensson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical biology; prion; apo; fatty acid; apoptosis; lactalbumin; folding variant; Klinisk biologi;

    Sammanfattning : By varying its secondary or tertiary structure a single protein can attain new biological functions. The amyloid forming proteins are the best known examples where a change in conformation leads to the formation of amyloid fibrils that accumulate in tissues and cause disease. LÄS MER
