Molecular Mechanisms Used by Salmonella to Evade the Immune System [PDF]

, 2017
Human and animal pathogens are able to circumvent, at least temporarily, the sophisticated immune defenses of their hosts. Several serovars of the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica have been used as models for the study of pathogen-host ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Protective Immune Responses Induced in Chickens by Outer Membrane Proteins Extracted from Different Strains of Escherichia coli

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2004
Different strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) from human, chickens, and the common strain between human and chickens were isolated and typed with mono-specific antibody. The E. coli strains from each group of human, chicken and common between human and

Scaffolding Protein GspB/OutB Facilitates Assembly of the Dickeya dadantii Type 2 Secretion System by Anchoring the Outer Membrane Secretin Pore to the Inner Membrane and to the Peptidoglycan Cell Wall

mBio, 2022
The phytopathogenic proteobacterium Dickeya dadantii secretes an array of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes and other virulence factors via the type 2 secretion system (T2SS).

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles and vaccine applications [PDF]

, 2014
Vaccines based on outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were developed more than 20 years ago against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. These nano-sized structures exhibit remarkable potential for immunomodulation of immune responses and delivery of “self ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

The TAM, a Translocation and Assembly Module for protein assembly and potential conduit for phospholipid transfer

EMBO Reports
The assembly of β-barrel proteins into the bacterial outer membrane is an essential process enabling the colonization of new environmental niches. The TAM was discovered as a module of the β-barrel protein assembly machinery; it is a heterodimeric ...

Is the C-terminal insertional signal in Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane proteins species-specific or not?

BMC Genomics, 2012
BackgroundIn Gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane is composed of an asymmetric lipid bilayer of phopspholipids and lipopolysaccharides, and the transmembrane proteins that reside in this membrane are almost exclusively β-barrel proteins.

Molecular Machines that Facilitate Bacterial Outer Membrane Protein Biogenesis

Annual Review of Biochemistry
Almost all outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in Gram-negative bacteria contain a β-barrel domain that spans the outer membrane (OM). To reach the OM, OMPs must be translocated across the inner membrane by the Sec machinery, transported across the crowded periplasmic space through the assistance of molecular chaperones, and finally assembled (folded and ...

Selectivity in Lipid Binding to the Bacterial Outer Membrane Protein OmpF [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2000
The outer membrane porin OmpF from Escherichia coli has been reconstituted into lipid bilayers of defined composition, and fluorescence spectroscopy is used to characterize its interaction with the surrounding lipid. OmpF is a trimer within the membrane.
