Synthesized Geopolymers Adsorb Bacterial Proteins, Toxins, and Cells [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Pore-forming and hemolytic toxins are bacterial cytotoxic proteins required for virulence in many pathogens, including staphylococci and streptococci, and are notably associated with clinical manifestations of disease.

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 ...

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 Manifold Bioactivity and Immunoreactivity of Microbial Proteins of Cow and Human Mature Milk in Late Lactation

Animals, 2022
(1) Human milk (HM) is a source of many microorganisms, whose structure contains microbial protein (MP). In addition to the known health-promoting properties of HM, many activities, including immunoreactivity, may result from the presence of MP.

The Role of Outer Membrane Proteins in UPEC Antimicrobial Resistance: A Systematic Review

Membranes, 2022
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are one of the most common agents of urinary tract infection. In the last decade, several UPEC strains have acquired antibiotic resistance mechanisms and some have become resistant to all classes of antibiotics. UPEC

Potential Probiotic Pediococcus pentosaceus M41 Modulates Its Proteome Differentially for Tolerances Against Heat, Cold, Acid, and Bile Stresses

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Probiotics containing functional food confer health benefits in addition to their nutritional properties. In this study, we have evaluated the differential proteomic responses of a potential novel probiotic Pediococcus pentosaceus M41 under heat, cold ...

Bacterial NLR-related proteins protect against phage

Cell, 2022
Bacteria use a wide range of immune systems to counter phage infection. A subset of these genes share homology with components of eukaryotic immune systems, suggesting that eukaryotes horizontally acquired certain innate immune genes from bacteria.
