With regard to the repair phase, following IL-1-induced cartilage damage, relatively little is known, but partial to complete recovery appears possible [ 1 3 ] . In studies of repair, investigators focused on glycosaminoglycan (GAG) - an important and abundant cartilage macromolecule - and used histologic, biochemical, and/or radiolabel incorporation methods to measure GAG concentration ([GAG]) and/or GAG synthesis rates at selected time points.
RPS10 is one of the many proteins that make up the ribosome macromolecule.
Resistance to polymyxin B is also imparted by the absence or masking of critical binding sites required for polycation-mediated permeabilization of the outer membrane [ 54 ] . Thus, attachment of polymyxin B to Yersinia enterocolitica is reduced by steric hindrance generated by the size and/or branched shape of the outer core region of its LPS macromolecule [ 55 ] . Additionally, resistance to cationic peptides can be due to cytoplasmic clearance of the antimicrobial peptide by an efflux pump; e.g., Yersinia resistance to polymyxin B caused by the RosA/RosB efflux pump/potassium antiporter [ 56 ] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistance to protegrin PG-1 via an energy-dependent efflux system termed mtr [ 57 ] .
