  • Receptor‐mediated recognition of mycobacterial pathogens

    Updated: 2013-06-27 09:16:43
    Summary Mycobacteria are a genus of bacteria that range from the non‐pathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis in humans. Mycobacteria primarily infect host tissues through inhalation or ingestion. They are phagocytosed by host macrophages and dendritic cells. Here, conserved pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surface of mycobacteria are recognised by phagocytic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Several families of PRRs have been shown to non‐opsonically recognise mycobacterial PAMPs, including membrane‐bound C‐type lectin receptors, membrane‐bound and cytosolic Toll‐like receptors and cytosolic NOD‐like receptors. Recently, a possible role for intracellular cytosolic PRRs in the recognition ...

  • An immunofluorescence assay for the detection of wheat rust species using monoclonal antibodies against urediniospores of Puccinia triticinia

    Updated: 2013-06-27 09:16:04

  • The mobility of two kinase domains in the Escherichia coli chemoreceptor array varies with signaling state

    Updated: 2013-06-27 09:15:20
    Summary Motile bacteria sense their physical and chemical environment through highly cooperative, ordered arrays of chemoreceptors. These signaling complexes phosphorylate a response regulator which in turn governs flagellar motor reversals, driving cells towards favorable environments. The structural changes that translate chemoeffector binding into the appropriate kinase output are not known. Here, we apply high‐resolution electron cryotomography to visualize mutant chemoreceptor signaling arrays in well‐defined kinase activity states. The arrays were well ordered in all signaling states, with no discernible differences in receptor conformation at 2‐3 nm resolution. Differences were observed, however, in a keel‐like density that we identify here as CheA kinase domains P1 and P2, ...

This optimization can be generally applied to other metabolic pathways, provided a selection/screening method is available for the desired phenotype. The improved in vivo cellobiose utilization demonstrated here could help to decrease the in vitro enzyme load in biomass pretreatment, ultimately contributing to a reduction in the high cost of biofuel production.

  • Large IncHI2‐plasmids encode extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacter spp. bloodstream isolates, and support ESBL‐transfer to Escherichia coli

    Updated: 2013-06-25 04:00:00
    Abstract We investigated the prevalence of extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacter spp. bloodstream isolates from 19 hospital laboratories in Norway during 2011. A total of 62/230 (27%) isolates were resistant to third‐generation cephalosporins and four (1.7%) were ESBL‐positive; blaCTX‐M‐15 (n = 3) and blaSHV‐12 (n = 1). This is comparable to the prevalence of ESBLs in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Norway during the same period. All ESBL‐positive isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR) and harboured plasmid‐mediated quinolone resistance. Three isolates supported transfer of large IncHI2‐plasmids harbouring ESBL‐ and MDR‐encoding genes to E. coli recipients by in vitro conjugation. (Source: Clinical Microbiol...

  • MicroRNAs and bacterial infection

    Updated: 2013-06-25 04:00:00
    Abstract MicroRNAs, small non‐coding RNAs expressed by eukaryotic cells, play pivotal roles in shaping cell differentiation and organism development. Deregulated microRNA expression is associated with several types of diseases including cancers, immune disorders and infection. Acting at the post‐transcriptional level, miRNAs have expanded our understanding of the control of gene expression in regulatory networks involved in the adaptation to environmental situations such as biotic stress. It is increasingly clear that miRNAs are an important part of the host response to microbes. This review presents the current state of knowledge about the role of miRNAs in the response to both bacterial pathogens and commensal bacteria in human cells or animal experimental models. Some microRNAs, inc...

  • Structure‐function analysis of the LytM domain of EnvC, an activator of cell wall remodeling at the Escherichia coli division site

    Updated: 2013-06-25 04:00:00
    Abstract Proteins with LytM (Peptidase_M23) domains are broadly distributed in bacteria and have been implicated in a variety of important processes, including cell division and cell‐shape determination. Most LytM‐like proteins that have been structurally and/or biochemically characterized are metallo‐endopeptidases that cleave crosslinks in the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall matrix. Notable exceptions are the Escherichia coli cell division proteins EnvC and NlpD. These LytM factors are not hydrolases themselves, but instead serve as activators that stimulate PG cleavage by target enzymes called amidases to promote cell separation. Here we report the structure of the LytM domain from EnvC, the first structure of a LytM factor implicated in the regulation of PG hydrolysis. As expected, ...

  • Role of antifeeding prophage (Afp) protein Afp16 in terminating the length of the Afp tailocin and stabilizing its sheath

    Updated: 2013-06-25 04:00:00
    Summary The Serratia entomophila antifeeding prophage Afp, forms a phage‐tail‐like particle that acts on the New Zealand grass grub, Costelytra zealandica with a 3 day LD50 of approximately 500 Afp particles per larvae. Genes (afp1‐18) encoding components of Afp were expressed and their products purified allowing morphological assessment of the products by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Expression of afp1‐15 resulted in the formation of a non‐sheathed structure termed the tube‐baseplate complex or TBC, composed of an irregular‐length tube attached to a baseplate with associated tail fibers. Expression of afp1‐16 produced mature, normal‐length Afp particles, whereas co‐expression of afp16 with afp1‐15 in trans resulted in the formation of aberrant Afp particle...

    Conclusions: High diversity of marine actinobacteria was isolated and characterized in this work including undescribed species and species not previously reported from emerald Andaman and Nicobar Islands, including Streptomyces griseus, Streptomyces venezuelae and Saccharopolyspora salina. The enhanced salt, pH and temperature tolerance of the actinobacterial isolates along with their capacity to secrete commercially valuable primary and secondary metabolites emerges as an attractive feature of these organisms. These results are reported for the first time from these emerald Islands and expand the scope to functionally characterize novel marine actinobacteria and their metabolites for the potential novel molecules of commercial interest.

    Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I think many of chemistry student suffer a lot of times when they want to search about a scientific materials or books. My special case in last 5 years learnt me that when I found something special and may be good to help a chemistry student or even graduates, I must write about it. of course you cannot write about all chemical topics, chemistry branches has a very huge data base of information postulated and experime...
