A Teleost CXCL10 Is Both an Immunoregulator and an Antimicrobial
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Chemokines are a group of cytokines that play important roles in cell migration, inflammation, and immune defense. In this study, we identified a CXC chemokine, CXCL10, from Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (named PoCXCL10) and investigated its ...

The recycling endosome and bacterial pathogens [PDF]
Cellular Microbiology, 2018 Bacterial pathogens have developed a wide range of strategies to survive within human cells. A number of pathogens multiply in a vacuolar compartment, whereas others can rupture the vacuole and replicate in the host cytosol. A common theme among many bacterial pathogens is the use of specialised secretion systems to deliver effector proteins into the ...

The intrinsic resistome of bacterial pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Intrinsically resistant bacteria have emerged as a relevant health problem in the last years. Those bacterial species, several of them with an environmental origin, present naturally low-level susceptibility to several drugs. It has been proposed that intrinsic resistance is mainly the consequence of the impermeability of cellular envelopes, the ...

Prediction of extracellular proteases of the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori reveals proteolytic activity of the Hp1018/19 protein HtrA [PDF]
, 2008 Exported proteases of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are potentially involved in pathogen-associated disorders leading to gastric inflammation and neoplasia. By comprehensive sequence screening of the H. pylori proteome for predicted secreted proteases,

Heme uptake in bacterial pathogens [PDF]
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2014 Iron is an essential nutrient for the survival of organisms. Bacterial pathogens possess specialized pathways to acquire heme from their human hosts. In this review, we present recent structural and biochemical data that provide mechanistic insights into several bacterial heme uptake pathways, encompassing the sequestration of heme from human ...

Drosophila embryos as model systems for monitoring bacterial infection in real time [PDF]
, 2009 Drosophila embryos are well studied developmental microcosms that have been used extensively as models for early development and more recently wound repair. Here we extend this work by looking at embryos as model systems for following bacterial infection
