Exploring the biochemistry at the extracellular redox frontier of bacterial mineral Fe(III) respiration [PDF]

, 2012
Many species of the bacterial Shewanella genus are notable for their ability to respire in anoxic environments utilizing insoluble minerals of Fe(III) and Mn(IV) as extracellular electron acceptors.

Detection of the babA2 adhesin gene in Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates and correlation with upper gastrointestinal diseases [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Helicobacter pylori is an oncobacteria that infects more than half of the world’s population. Adhesins are virulence factors that are essential for the microorganism to bind to the gastric mucosa, such as the BabA adhesion protein, which is associated ...

Super-Resolution Imaging of Protein Secretion Systems and the Cell Surface of Gram-Negative Bacteria

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Gram-negative bacteria have a highly evolved cell wall with two membranes composed of complex arrays of integral and peripheral proteins, as well as phospholipids and glycolipids.

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

Outer membrane biogenesis in Helicobacter pylori: A deviation from the paradigm

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
The bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori is capable of colonizing the gastric mucosa of the human stomach using a variety of factors associated with or secreted from its outer membrane (OM).

Targeting bacterial outer-membrane remodelling to impact antimicrobial drug resistance.

Trends in Microbiology, 2021
The cell envelope is essential for survival and adaptation of bacteria. Bacterial membrane proteins include the major porins that mediate the influx of nutrients and several classes of antimicrobial drugs.

Apocytochrome c [PDF]

, 1990
The cytochrome c import pathway differs markedly from the general route taken by the majority of other imported proteins, which is characterized by the import involvement of namely, surface receptors, the general insertion protein (GIP), contact sites ...

Protein–lipid charge interactions control the folding of outer membrane proteins into asymmetric membranes

Nature Chemistry, 2023
Biological membranes consist of two leaflets of phospholipid molecules that form a bilayer, each leaflet comprising a distinct lipid composition. This asymmetry is created and maintained in vivo by dedicated biochemical pathways, but difficulties in ...
