Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

A resveratrol oligomer, hopeaphenol suppresses virulence activity of Pectobacterium atrosepticum via the modulation of the master regulator, FlhDC

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Pectobacterium atrosepticum (P. atrosepticum: Pba) which causes potato soft rot and blackleg is a notorious plant pathogen worldwide. Discovery of new types of antimicrobial chemicals that target specifically to virulence factors such as bacterial ...

Bacterial Signaling and Motility: Sure Bets [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2008
The IX International Conference on Bacterial Locomotion and Signal Transduction (BLAST IX) was held from 14 to 19 January 2007 in Laughlin, NV, a town in the Mojave Desert on the Nevada-Arizona border near old Route 66 and along the banks of the Colorado River. This area is a home to rattlesnakes,

The influence of motility on bacterial accumulation in a microporous channel

Soft Matter, 2021
We study the transport of bacteria in a porous media modeled by a square channel containing one cylindrical obstacle via molecular dynamics simulations coupled to a lattice Boltzmann fluid.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Saturated long-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria contribute to enhanced colonic motility in rats

Microbiome, 2018
Background The gut microbiota is closely associated with gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorder, but the mechanism(s) by which bacteria interact with and affect host GI motility remains unclear.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Potassium-mediated bacterial chemotactic response

eLife
Bacteria in biofilms secrete potassium ions to attract free swimming cells. However, the basis of chemotaxis to potassium remains poorly understood. Here, using a microfluidic device, we found that Escherichia coli can rapidly accumulate in regions of ...

Swimming Motility, a Virulence Trait of Ralstonia solanacearum, Is Regulated by FlhDC and the Plant Host Environment

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2004
Swimming motility allows the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum to efficiently invade and colonize host plants. However, the bacteria are essentially nonmotile once inside plant xylem vessels.
