Identification of serum and urine proteins responsible for enhanced pigment production by group B streptococci as amylases. Clin. Diagn. Lab. Immunol. 1996; 3(5):594-61071-412Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10668/2180Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't;The serum and urine proteins responsible for enhanced pigment production in Streptococcus agalactiae in culture media were purified by chromatography and were identified as amylases by comparison of their amino acid composition with that calculated for proteins with known sequences. Similar pigment-enhancing activity was displayed by other amylases of nonanimal origin and by maltooligosaccharides.enPigmentos biológicosAmilasasProteínas sanguíneasOrinaMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins::Proteins::Blood ProteinsMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Chemistry Techniques, Analytical::ChromatographyMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Biological Factors::Pigments, BiologicalMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Signs and Symptoms::Urological Manifestations::ProteinuriaMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Bacteria::Gram-Positive Bacteria::Gram-Positive Cocci::Streptococcaceae::Streptococcus::Streptococcus agalactiaeMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Fluids and Secretions::Body Fluids::UrineMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Enzymes and Coenzymes::Enzymes::Hydrolases::Glycoside Hydrolases::Amylasesresearch article8877142open accessPMC170413
