A comprehensive approach to identification of surface-exposed, outer membrane-spanning proteins of Leptospira interrogans.

PLoS ONE, 2009
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis with worldwide distribution caused by pathogenic spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira. The leptospiral life cycle involves transmission via fresh water and colonization of the renal tubules of their reservoir hosts or

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 ...

A Sprayable Nanoplatform Breaks the Vicious Cycle of Diabetic Wounds via Photoactivated Antioxidant and Drug Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A sprayable near‐infrared‐activated nanoplatform incorporating MXene, ZnHCF nanozyme, and deferoxamine efficiently breaks the vicious cycle of diabetic wounds. Upon irradiation, interfacial electron transfer and photothermal effects enhance multi‐enzyme activity, enabling explosive ROS elimination, alleviation of hypoxia, and controlled DFO release ...

Proteinaceous determinants of surface colonization in bacteria: Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation from a protein secretion perspective

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Bacterial colonization of biotic or abiotic surfaces results from two quite distinct physiological processes, namely bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Broadly speaking, a biofilm is defined as the sessile development of microbial cells.

Wavelength‐Dependent Photobiomodulation Regulates Macrophage Polarization via Mitochondrial Dynamics and Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Light wavelength encodes distinct macrophage fates through mitochondrial and metabolic remodeling. Red 625 nm irradiation induces glycolysis, mitochondrial fission, and M1 polarization, whereas near‐infrared 850 nm irradiation promotes fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial fusion, and M2 polarization.

The Assembly of Beta-Barrel Proteins into Bacterial Outer Membranes [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2017
In order to cause disease, bacterial pathogens must (i) avoid immune detection, (ii) inhibit immune responses, and (iii) induce pathology favoring bacterial replication. In gram-negative bacteria, pathogenesis depend on structures assembled in the bacterial outer membrane.

De Novo Design of Membrane‐Targeting Antimicrobial Peptides Against Gram‐Negative Bacteria Using a Generative Artificial Intelligence Framework

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance caused by Gram‐negative bacteria remains difficult to overcome due to the protective outer membrane. To address this challenge, a multi‐condition constrained generative AI framework, GenMTAMP is proposed for de novo membrane‐targeting antimicrobial peptide design by integrating physicochemical and spatial structure descriptors.

Comparison of bacterial intracellular and secreted proteins produced in milk versus medium for Escherichia coli by proteomic analysis

Journal of Dairy Science
: The growth and reproduction of microorganisms are dependent on nutrient supply. Here, milk and Luria-Bertani (LB) media were used as nutrition sources for Escherichia coli, and the changes in bacterial and secretory proteins at 3 time points (3, 9, and

Discovery of new biosynthetic pathways: the lipid A story

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
The outer monolayer of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria consists of the lipid A component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a glucosamine-based saccharolipid that is assembled on the inner surface of the inner membrane.
