Following 48 hours, we performed the
beta-galactosidase assay as described below.
coli cells, the addition of lactose induces the expression of the enzyme
Beta-galactosidase; in fruit fly cells, increasing the temperature induces the expression of the so-called heat-shock proteins, a family of proteins committed to the repair or the removal of damaged proteins.
The initial stages of the project will involve in vitro and in vivo approaches to develop an RNA aptamer capable of activating mutant
Beta-Galactosidase. This is a novel use of aptamers, and could have implications later when designing regulatory mechanisms.
The isolates were positive for esculin-hydrolysis, negative for ONPG
beta-galactosidase and unable to grow on MacConkey's agar.
Vitamin D-binding protein (known as Gc) can be converted to the potent macrophage activating factor (GcMAF) by stepwise modification of Gc with
beta-galactosidase of B cells and sialidase of T cells.

It is caused by a deficiency of
beta-galactosidase (GLB1), a lysosomal hydrolase that maybe defective with respect to keratan sulfate in Morquio B disease (MBD) or to gangliosides, lactosylceramide, asialofetuin, and oligosaccharides carrying terminal beta-linked galactose and keratan sulfate in GM1-gangliosidosis [2].
We found statistically significant correlations between increased resistance to 5-fluorocytosine and higher enzymatic activity of alpha-mannosidase; increased resistance to ketoconazole and higher enzymatic activity of trypsin; increased resistance to itraconazole and higher enzymatic activity of beta-glucosidase; increased resistance to fluconazole and higher enzymatic activity of beta-glucosidase; increased susceptibility to ketoconazole and higher enzymatic activity of
beta-galactosidase and beta- glucosidase; increased susceptibility to itraconazole and higher enzymatic activity of valine arylamidase.
MPS type IVB is due to deficiency of
beta-galactosidase [2].
SA-[beta]-Gal: Senescence-associated

Of note, A[sz] did not induce the senescence-associated
beta-galactosidase activity in cultured neurons (data not shown), indicating that SA-[sz]-gal was not required for neuronal senescence in vitro , although it was a classic CS biomarker.[sup][35],[36],[37] This finding suggested a characteristic aging pattern of neuronal senescence, i.e., the expression of p16 instead of SA-[sz]-gal in vitro .
Saccharomyces fragilis is described as a homothallic, hemiascomycetous yeast and production of several enzymes among them
beta-galactosidase (Llorente et al., 2000; Dagbagli & Goksungur, 2008).
