Epigenetics and Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2012 Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or orchestrate cellular responses to external stimuli. Recent studies highlight that bacteria can affect the chromatin structure and transcriptional program of host cells by influencing diverse epigenetic factors (i.e., histone modifications, DNA ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2015 FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) contain a domain with peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase) activity and bind the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. FKBPs belong to the immunophilin family and are found in eukaryotes and bacteria.In this review we describe two major groups of bacterial virulence-associated FKBPs, the trigger factor and ...
