Oral colonization of Gram-negative anaerobes as a risk factor for preterm birth

Africa, Charlene W.J. (Landes Bioscience, 2011)

Preterm birth significantly impacts on neonatal morbidity and mortality and is apparently increasing worldwide. Several studies have attempted to define a causative role for periodontal disease in adverse pregnancy ...
Overexpression of 7a, a Protein Specifically Encoded by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, Induces Apoptosis via a Caspase-Dependent Pathway

Tan, Yee-Joo; Fielding, Burtram C.; Goh, Phuay-Yee; Shen, Shou; Tan, Timothy H.P.; Lim, Seng Gee; Hong, Wanjin (American Society for Microbiology, 2004)

Besides genes that are homologous to proteins found in other coronaviruses, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus genome also contains nine other potential open reading frames. Previously, we have characterized ...
Over-expression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 3b protein induces both apoptosis and necrosis in Vero E6 cells

Khan, Sehaam; Fielding, Burtram C.; Tan, Timothy H.P.; Chou, Chih-Fong; Shou, Shen; Lim, Seng Gee; Hong, Wanjin; Tan, Yee-Joo (Elsevier, 2006)

The genome of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus encodes for eight accessory viral proteins with no known homologues in other coronaviruses. One of these is the 3b protein, which is encoded by the second ...
Profiles of antibody responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus recombinant proteins and their potential use as diagnostic markers

Tan, Yee-Joo; Goh, Phuay-Yee; Fielding, Burtram C.; Shen, Shou; Chou, Chih-Fong; Fu, Jian-Lin; Leong, Hoe Nam; Leo, Yee Sin; Ooi, Eng Eong; Ling, Ai Ee; Lim, Seng Gee; Hong, Wanjin (American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
Risk factors of preterm delivery of low birth weight (plbw) in an African population

Bayingana, Claude; Muvunyi, Claude Mambo; Africa, Charlene W.J. (Academic Journals, 2010)

More than 20 million infants in the world (15.5% of all births) are born with low birth weight. Ninety-five percent of them are in developing countries. The objective of this study was to examine different factors which ...
The role of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-Coronavirus Accessory Proteins in Virus Pathogenesis

McBride, Ruth; Fielding, Burtram C. (MDPI, 2012)

A respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, termed the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), was first reported in China in late 2002. The subsequent efficient human-to-human transmission of ...
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 3a Protein Up-Regulates Expression of Fibrinogen in Lung Epithelial Cells

Tan, Yee-Joo; Tham, Puay-Yoke; Chan, Daphne Z. L.; Chou, Chih-Fong; Shen, Shou; Fielding, Burtram C.; Tan, Timothy H.P.; Lim, Seng Gee; Hong, Wanjin (American Society for Microbiology, 2005)

Here we analyzed the gene expression profile of cells that stably express the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 3a protein to determine its effects on host functions. A lung epithelial cell-line, ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus protein 7a interacts with hSGT

Fielding, Burtram C.; Gunalan, Vithiagaran; Tan, Timothy H.P.; Chou, Chih-Fong; Shen, Shou; Khan, Sehaam; Lim, Seng Gee; Hong, Wanjin; Tan, Yee-Joo (Elsevier, 2006)

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 7a is an accessory protein with no known homologues. In this study, we report the interaction of a SARS-CoV 7a and small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing ...
Strengths and limitations of different Chromogenic Media for the identification of Candida species

Messeir, Ilze; Abrantes, Pedro M.D.S.; Africa, Charlene W.J. (Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2012)

The treatment of invasive candidiasis and other Candida infections with the appropriate antifungal agent is assisted by the identification of Candida isolates to the species level. Rapid and accurate methods of differentiation ...
Understanding human coronavirus HCoV-NL63

Abdul-Rasool, Sahar; Fielding, Burtram C. (Bentham Science, 2010)

Even though coronavirus infection of humans is not normally associated with severe diseases, the identification of the coronavirus responsible for the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome showed that highly ...
The variable N-terminal region of DDX5 contains structural elements and auto-inhibits its interaction with NS5B of hepatitis C virus

Dutta, Sujit; Gupta, Garvita; Choi, Yook-Wah; Kotaka, Masayo; Fielding, Burtram C.; Song, Jianxing; Tan, Yee-Joo (Portland Press, 2012)

RNA helicases of the DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp)-box family of proteins are involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism from transcription to RNA decay, but most of them have also been shown to be multifunctional. The DEAD-box ...
