Bacterial Photosensory Proteins and Their Role in Plant–pathogen Interactions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Light is an important environmental signal for almost all living organisms. The light perception is achieved by photoreceptor proteins. As can be observed from the great number of bacterial genomes sequenced, plant pathogenic ...
The disruptive effect of lysozyme on the bacterial cell wall explored by an in-silico structural outlook
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2018-01)
The bacterial cell wall, a structural unit of peptidoglycan polymer comprised of glycan strands consisting of a repeating disaccharide motif [N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramylpentapeptide (NAM pentapeptide)], ...
A simple protocol to characterize bacterial cell-envelope lipoproteins in a native-like environment
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2019-11)
Physiological conditions in living cells are strictly regulated to allow, optimize, and coordinate biological processes. The bacterial cell envelope is the compartment where the communication with the external environment ...
Albumin biofunctionalization to minimize the Staphylococcus aureus adhesion on solid substrates
(Elsevier Science, 2018-07)
Staphylococcus aureus has become the most common opportunistic microorganism related to nosocomial infections due to the bacteria capacity to form biofilms on biomedical devices and implants. Since bacterial adhesion is ...
In vivo bactericidal efficacy of gwh1 antimicrobial peptide displayed on protein nanoparticles, a potential alternative to antibiotics
(MDPI AG, 2020-12)
Oligomerization of antimicrobial peptides into nanosized supramolecular complexes produced in biological systems (inclusion bodies and self-assembling nanoparticles) seems an appealing alternative to conventional antibiotics. ...
Sinorhizobium meliloti low molecular mass phosphotyrosine phosphatase SMc02309 modifies activity of the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase ExoN involved in succinoglycan biosynthesis
(SP MAIK Nauka/Interperiodica, 2016-01)
In Gram-negative bacteria, tyrosine phosphorylation has been shown to play a role in the control of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. This study demonstrated that the chromosomal ORF SMc02309 from Sinorhizobium meliloti ...
Interaction between lactobacillus kefir and Saccharomyces lipolytica isolated from kefir grains: Evidence for lectin-like activity of bacterial surface proteins
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-02)
Several microbial interactions involving yeast and lactobacilli have been suggested in fermented products. Co-aggregation between Lactobacillus kefir and yeast Saccharomyces lipolytica isolated from kefir grains was studied ...
Spectroelectrochemical examination of the interaction between bacterial cells and gold electrodes
(American Chemical Society, 2007-05)
The interaction between bacterial cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens (ATCC 17552) and gold electrodes was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and attenuated total reflection-surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy ...
Type VI secretion system in pathogenic escherichia coli: structure, role in virulence, and acquisition
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08)
Bacterial pathogens utilize a myriad of mechanisms to invade mammalian hosts, damage tissue sites, and evade the immune system. One essential strategy of Gram-negative bacteria is the secretion of virulence factors through ...
A Gatekeeper Residue of ClpS1 from Arabidopsis thaliana Chloroplasts Determines its Affinity Towards Substrates of the Bacterial N-End Rule
(Oxford University Press, 2018-03)
Proteins that are to be eliminated must be proficiently recognized by proteolytic systems so that inadvertent elimination of useful proteins is avoided. One mechanism to ensure proper recognition is the presence of N-terminal ...
