Anticancer Activity of Bacterial Proteins and Peptides [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2018 Despite much progress in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, tumour diseases constitute one of the main reasons of deaths worldwide. The side effects of chemotherapy and drug resistance of some cancer types belong to the significant current ...

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,

The EXIT Strategy: an Approach for Identifying Bacterial Proteins Exported during Host Infection. [PDF]
mBio, 2017 Exported proteins of bacterial pathogens function both in essential physiological processes and in virulence. Past efforts to identify exported proteins were limited by the use of bacteria growing under laboratory (in vitro) conditions.

Bacterial proteins pinpoint a single eukaryotic root. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Significance The root of eukaryote phylogeny formally represents the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA), but its position has remained controversial. Using new genome sequences, we revised and expanded two datasets of eukaryotic proteins of bacterial

Bacterial copper storage proteins [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 Copper is essential for most organisms as a cofactor for key enzymes involved in fundamental processes such as respiration and photosynthesis. However, copper also has toxic effects in cells, which is why eukaryotes and prokaryotes have evolved ...

Formyl-methionine as a degradation signal at the N-termini of bacterial proteins. [PDF]
Microb Cell, 2015 In bacteria, all nascent proteins bear the pretranslationally formed N-terminal formyl-methionine (fMet) residue. The fMet residue is cotranslationally deformylated by a ribosome-associated deformylase.
