Role of Outer Membrane Vesicles in Bacterial Physiology and Host Cell Interactions
Infectious Microbes & Diseases, 2020 . Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are spherical particles shed from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, which contain the typical components present in the outer membrane, although enrichment of specific molecules may occur, and furthermore a ...

Outer Membrane Vesicles as Mediators of Plant–Bacterial Interactions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Plants have co-evolved with diverse microorganisms that have developed different mechanisms of direct and indirect interactions with their host. Recently, greater attention has been paid to a direct “message” delivery pathway from bacteria to plants ...

Biochemical analysis of TssK, a core component of the bacterial Type VI secretion system, reveals distinct oligomeric states of TssK and identifies a TssK–TssFG subcomplex [PDF]
, 2014 Gram-negative bacteria use the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to inject toxic proteins into rival bacteria or eukaryotic cells. However, the mechanism of the T6SS is incompletely understood. In the present study, we investigated a conserved component of

Single-channel measurements of an N-acetylneuraminic acid-inducible outer membrane channel in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2012 NanC is an Escherichia coli outer membrane protein involved in sialic acid (Neu5Ac, i.e., N-acetylneuraminic acid) uptake. Expression of the NanC gene is induced and controlled by Neu5Ac. The transport mechanism of Neu5Ac is not known.

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]
, 2017 Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

Langmuir Monolayers of Bacterial Outer Membranes [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 The increase of Gram-negative bacteria super-resistant to antibiotics is a major problem in medicine. These bacteria possess a double membrane system, with the external leaflet of the outer membrane composed of lipopolyssaccharides (LPS) that act as the first barrier to drugs.

RomA, A Periplasmic Protein Involved in the Synthesis of the Lipopolysaccharide, Tunes Down the Inflammatory Response Triggered by Brucella [PDF]
, 2018 Brucellaceae are stealthy pathogens with the ability to survive and replicate in the host in the context of a strong immune response. This capacity relies on several virulence factors that are able to modulate the immune system and in their structural ...
