Role of Hydration in Collagen Recognition by Bacterial Adhesins [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 Protein-protein recognition regulates the vast majority of physiological or pathological processes. We investigated the role of hydration in collagen recognition by bacterial adhesin CNA by means of first principle molecular-dynamics samplings. Our characterization of the hydration properties of the isolated partners highlights dewetting-prone areas on

Identification of novel adhesins of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using integrated approach of multiple computational algorithms and experimental analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Pathogenic bacteria interacting with eukaryotic host express adhesins on their surface. These adhesins aid in bacterial attachment to the host cell receptors during colonization.

mBio, 2021 Bacterial adhesins are key virulence factors that are essential for the pathogen-host interaction and biofilm formation that cause most infections. Many of the adhesin-driven cell-cell interactions are mediated by lectins.

Adhesins and host serum factors drive Yop translocation by yersinia into professional phagocytes during animal infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Yersinia delivers Yops into numerous types of cultured cells, but predominantly into professional phagocytes and B cells during animal infection. The basis for this cellular tropism during animal infection is not understood.

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Evaluation of cell binding activities of Leptospira ECM adhesins. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira are the causative agents of leptospirosis, a zoonotic infection that occurs globally. The bacteria colonize the renal proximal tubules of many animals and are shed in the urine.

The BtaF trimeric autotransporter of Brucella suis is involved in attachment to various surfaces, resistance to serum and virulence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The adhesion of bacterial pathogens to host cells is an event that determines infection, and ultimately invasion and intracellular multiplication. Several evidences have recently shown that this rule is also truth for the intracellular pathogen Brucella.
