Understanding the Molecular Interactions Between Influenza A Virus and Streptococcus Proteins in Co-Infection: A Scoping Review

Pathogens
Influenza A virus infections are known to predispose infected individuals to bacterial infections of the respiratory tract that result in co-infection with severe disease outcomes.

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.

A distinct sortase SrtB anchors and processes a streptococcal adhesin AbpA with a novel structural property. [PDF]

, 2016
Surface display of proteins by sortases in Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for bacterial fitness and virulence. We found a unique gene locus encoding an amylase-binding adhesin AbpA and a sortase B in oral streptococci.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Comparative NanoUPLC-MSE analysis between magainin I-susceptible and -resistant Escherichia coli strains

Scientific Reports, 2017
In recent years the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been prospected and designed as new alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Indeed, AMPs have presented great potential toward pathogenic bacterial strains by means of complex mechanisms of action.

Investigating the disordered regions (MoRFs, SLiMs and LCRs) and functions of mimicry proteins/peptides in silico.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Microbial mimicry of the host proteins/peptides can elicit host auto-reactive T- or B-cells resulting in autoimmune disease(s). Since intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs) are involved in several host cell signaling and PPI networks, molecular

DSB proteins and bacterial pathogenicity

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2009
If DNA is the information of life, then proteins are the machines of life--but they must be assembled and correctly folded to function. A key step in the protein-folding pathway is the introduction of disulphide bonds between cysteine residues in a process called oxidative protein folding.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Exploitation of host polyubiquitination machinery through molecular mimicry by eukaryotic-like bacterial F-box effectors

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2010
Microbial pathogens have evolved exquisite mechanisms to interfere and intercept host biological processes, often through molecular mimicry of specific host proteins.
