The functional RNA cargo of bacterial membrane vesicles [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2018 Bacteria secrete RNAs, some of which have effects on other cells and on other species as signalling RNAs. Prokaryotic membrane vesicles (MVs) contain a range of RNA types. The MV structure offers protection from degradation as well as receptors to facilitate delivery to target cells.

Surfactant-free purification of membrane protein complexes from bacteria: application to the staphylococcal penicillin-binding protein complex PBP2/PBP2a. [PDF]
, 2014 Surfactant-mediated removal of proteins from biomembranes invariably results in partial or complete loss of function and disassembly of multi-protein complexes. We determined the capacity of styrene-co-maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer to remove components of

Structure and function of bacterial dynamin-like proteins [PDF]
, 2012 Membrane dynamics are essential for numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, membrane fusion and fission are often catalyzed by large GTPases of the dynamin protein family. These proteins couple GTP hydrolysis

Microbial production of lipid-protein vesicles using enveloped bacteriophage phi6
Microbial Cell Factories, 2019 Background Cystoviruses have a phospholipid envelope around their nucleocapsid. Such a feature is unique among bacterial viruses (i.e., bacteriophages) and the mechanisms of virion envelopment within a bacterial host are largely unknown.

Antimicrobial surfaces based on self-assembled nanoreactors : from block copolymer synthesis to bacterial adhesion study [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this work is to develop a new strategy for the prevention of biofilm growth. For this purpose, we prepared bioactive surfaces resulting from the surface-immobilization of nanoreactors self-assembled from amphiphilic poly(isobutylene)-block ...

Bacterial communication through membrane vesicles [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2019 ABSTRACT Bacteria can communicate through diffusible signaling molecules that are perceived by cognate receptors. It is now well established that bacterial communication regulates hundreds of genes. Hydrophobic molecules which do not diffuse in aqueous environments alone have been identified in bacterial communication, that raised the ...

Membrane vesicle-mediated release of bacterial RNA [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractMany Gram-negative bacterial species release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that interact with the host by delivering virulence factors. Here, we report for the first time that RNA is among the wide variety of bacterial components that are associated with OMVs. To characterize the RNA profiles of bacterial OMVs, we performed RNA deep sequencing

Molecular Aspects of Secretory Granule Exocytosis by Neurons and Endocrine Cells [PDF]
, 1994 Neuronal communication and endocrine signaling are fundamental for integrating the function of tissues and cells in the body. Hormones released by endocrine cells are transported to the target cells through the circulation.
