A d-Amino Acid at the N-Terminus of a Protein Abrogates Its Degradation by the N-End Rule Pathway [PDF]
, 2015 Eukaryotes have evolved the ubiquitin (Ub)/proteasome system to degrade polypeptides. The Ub/proteasome system is one way that cells regulate cytosolic protein and amino acids levels through the recognition and ubiquitination of a protein’s N-terminus ...

The unfolding story of anthrax toxin translocation [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryThe essential cellular functions of secretion and protein degradation require a molecular machine to unfold and translocate proteins either across a membrane or into a proteolytic complex. Protein translocation is also critical for microbial pathogenesis, namely bacteria can use translocase channels to deliver toxic proteins into a target cell ...

The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review
Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 485-500, September 2025.ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans , in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Contribution of toxins to the pathogenesis of inhalational anthrax [PDF]
Cellular Microbiology, 2007 Inhalational anthrax is a life-threatening infectious disease of considerable concern, especially as a potential bioterrorism agent. Progress is gradually being made towards understanding the mechanisms used by Bacillus anthracis to escape the immune system and to induce severe septicaemia associated with toxaemia and leading to death.

The Role of Scientific Discovery in the Establishment of the First Biological Weapons Programmes [PDF]
, 2005 YesThis report addresses the scientific and technological discoveries in the biological sciences that enabled the early interest in biological warfare to move from hurling infected corpses into enemy cities in ancient times, through use of small cultures

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 Bacterial toxin proteins are generally thought to enter eukaryotic cells by passive hitchhiking, binding to a convenient receptor that is constitutively internalized by endocytosis to ensure their delivery to the cytoplasm. But on page 321, Abrami et al.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2025.Evaluating feed utilization and growth of Washera sheep supplemented Chamaecytisus palmensis leaves and wheat bran mixture to a basal diet of Avena sativa straw. After a 3‐month feeding experiment, sheep in T4 showed the highest body weight gain, which in turn resulted in the highest net return.
