Novel compounds targeting bacterial DNA topoisomerase/DNA gyrase
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2014 Among the targets for the development of new antibacterial agents, bacterial topoisomerases remain a vibrant area of discovery. A structurally diverse set of inhibitors that bind to the adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) site of type II topoisomerases have been disclosed recently.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Optimizing a PCR protocol for cpn60-based microbiome profiling of samples variously contaminated with host genomic DNA. [PDF]
, 2015 The current recommended protocol for chaperonin-60 (cpn60) universal target based microbiome profiling includes universal PCR of microbiome samples across an annealing temperature gradient to maximize the diversity of sequences amplified.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

The process of infection with bacteriophage phiX174, XXI. Replication and fate of the replicative form [PDF]
, 1968 Previous publications have described the formation of a double-stranded DNA intermediate(1) (replicative form, RF) during the replication of bacteriophage phiX174, the semiconservative replication at a bacterial "site"(2) of that RF containing the ...

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

The Multifaceted Activity of the VirF Regulatory Protein in the Shigella Lifestyle [PDF]
, 2016 Shigella is a highly adapted human pathogen, mainly found in the developing world and causing a severe enteric syndrome. The highly sophisticated infectious strategy of Shigella banks on the capacity to invade the intestinal epithelial barrier and cause ...
