Structure and Secretion of Cofj, a Putative Colonization Factor of Enterotoxigenic E. Coli

Updated: 2013-09-27 23:15:45

We present a 2.6 Å resolution crystal structure of CofJ, revealing a large β‐sandwich protein that bears no sequence or structural homology to TcpF. CofJ has a cluster of exposed hydrophobic side chains at one end and structural homology to the pore‐forming proteins perfringolysin O and α‐hemolysin. CofJ binds to lipid vesicles and epithelial cells, suggesting a role in membrane attachment during ETEC colonization. (Source: Molecular Microbiology)

Isolation of a rice endophytic bacterium, Pantoea sp. Sd‐1, with ligninolytic activity and characterisation of its rice straw degradation ability

Updated: 2013-09-25 04:00:00

This study focused on an endophytic bacterial strain, Pantoea sp. Sd‐1, which can be used to degrade lignin and rice straw. This strain was isolated from rice seeds by an optimised surface sterilisation method. Pantoea sp. Sd‐1 showed exceptional ability to degrade rice straw and lignin. In rice straw or kraft lignin‐containing medium supplemented with 1% glucose and 0.5% peptone, Pantoea sp. Sd‐1 effectively reduced the rice straw mass weight by 54.5% after 6 days of treatment. The strain was also capable of reducing the lignin colour (52.4%) and content (69.1%) after 4 days of incubation. The findings suggested that the rice endophytic bacterium Pantoea sp. Sd‐1 could be applied for the degradation of lignocellulose biomass, such as rice straw. This article is protected by copy...

In conclusion, this novel vector could not only provides researchers a new means to manipulate genes or express proteins in haloarchaea but also serve as a convenient tool to comparatively study the function of some highly conserved genes in haloarchaea and in bacteria.

Combined treatment with the antibiotics kanamycin and streptomycin promotes the conjugation of Escherichia coli

Updated: 2013-09-24 04:00:00

This study demonstrated that a combination of low doses of kanamycin and streptomycin, which inhibited the growth of recipient and donor cells, respectively, had positive effects on the transmission of the conjugation plasmids pRK2013, pSU2007, and RP4 from Escherichia coli DH5α to HB101 at their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Administration of either antibiotic alone as well as other antibiotics in combination or alone did not have this effect. Two‐dimensional electrophoresis revealed that 60 proteins were downregulated and 14 proteins were upregulated in the conjugation of E. coli DH5α (pRK2013) and HB101 in the presence of kanamycin and streptomycin. Of these proteins, 64 were subsequently identified by mass spectrometry. Two antibiotic‐induced genes encoding oligopepti...

Penicillin facilitates the entry of antisense constructs into Streptococcus mutans

Updated: 2013-09-24 04:00:00

This study confirms that for S. mutans OMZ175, the peptidoglycan layer acts as a major barrier preventing AS‐ODN penetration, and suggests that the use of agents such as penicillin that interfere with peptidoglycan integrity can significantly increase the uptake of PS‐ODN by these cells.

Chaperone–usher pathway pili are a widespread family of extracellular, Gram-negative bacterial fibers with important roles in bacterial pathogenesis. Type 1 pili are important virulence factors in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), which cause the majority of urinary tract infections (UTI). FimH, the type 1 adhesin, binds mannosylated glycoproteins on the surface...

Flow cytometry based enrichment for cell shape mutants identifies multiple genes that influence Helicobacter pylori morphology

Updated: 2013-09-23 11:16:14

Summary The helical cell shape of Helicobacter pylori is highly conserved and contributes to its ability to swim through and colonize the viscous gastric mucus layer. A multi‐faceted peptidoglycan (PG) modification program involving four recently characterized peptidases and two accessory proteins is essential for maintaining H. pylori's helicity. To expedite identification of additional shape‐determining genes, we employed flow cytometry with fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) to enrich a transposon library for bacterial cells with altered light scattering profiles that correlate with perturbed cell morphology. After a single round of sorting, 15% of our clones exhibited a stable cell shape defect, reflecting 37‐fold enrichment. Sorted clones with straight rod morphology c...
