BACTERIAL MOONLIGHTING PROTEINS [PDF]
Postępy Mikrobiologii, 2017 Abstract Existence of moonlighting proteins in microorganisms is a known phenomenon, yet still not well understood. Moonlighting proteins have at least two independent biological functions, which must be performed by one polypeptide chain without separation into protein domains. Most of these proteins, beside their role in the cytoplasm,

Acetylated bacterial proteins as potent antigens inducing an anti-modified protein antibody response [PDF]
RMD OpenObjective Gut-residing bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, can acetylate their proteome under conditions of amine starvation. It is postulated that the (gut) microbiome is involved in the breach of immune tolerance to modified self-proteins leading to ...

Localization of protein aggregation in Escherichia coli is governed by diffusion and nucleoid macromolecular crowding effect [PDF]
, 2013 Aggregates of misfolded proteins are a hallmark of many age-related diseases. Recently, they have been linked to aging of Escherichia coli (E. coli) where protein aggregates accumulate at the old pole region of the aging bacterium.

Inflating bacterial cells by increased protein synthesis. [PDF]
, 2015 Understanding how the homeostasis of cellular size and composition is accomplished by different organisms is an outstanding challenge in biology. For exponentially growing Escherichia coli cells, it is long known that the size of cells exhibits a strong ...

Recruitment of Vitronectin by Bacterial Pathogens: A Comprehensive Overview
MicroorganismsThe key factor that enables pathogenic bacteria to establish successful infections lies largely in their ability to escape the host’s immune response and adhere to host surfaces.

Bacterial flagellar capping proteins adopt diverse oligomeric states
eLife, 2016 Flagella are crucial for bacterial motility and pathogenesis. The flagellar capping protein (FliD) regulates filament assembly by chaperoning and sorting flagellin (FliC) proteins after they traverse the hollow filament and exit the growing flagellum tip.
