Detection of the babA2 adhesin gene in Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates and correlation with upper gastrointestinal diseases [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasHelicobacter pylori is an oncobacteria that infects more than half of the world’s population. Adhesins are virulence factors that are essential for the microorganism to bind to the gastric mucosa, such as the BabA adhesion protein, which is associated ...

Bacterial surface proteins and vaccines [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2010 Surface-associated proteins play a key role in bacterial physiology and pathogenesis and are the major targets for vaccine development. Recent advances in defining the proteins associated with, and protruding out of, bacterial cells to a high level of accuracy are substantially contributing to accelerating the process of vaccine target identification ...

Evolutionary behaviour of bacterial prion-like proteins.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Prions in eukaryotes have been linked to diseases, evolutionary capacitance, large-scale genetic control and long-term memory formation. In bacteria, constructed prion-forming proteins have been described, such as the prion-forming protein recently ...

Surface Inactivation of Bacterial Viruses and of Proteins
Substantia, 2023 The extraordinary paper of Mark H. Adams: Surface Inactivation of Bacterial Viruses and of Proteins appeared in a mainstream Journal of Physiology, in 1948. It was neglected and has been ever since.

Translocation of bacterial proteins?an overview
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2004 Recent progress in the understanding of the nature of the extraordinary variety of protein translocation systems, mainly in Gram negative bacteria, is reviewed. This takes us from the insertion of proteins into the inner membrane via the sophisticated Sec apparatus, the lethal injection of Type III proteins into host cells and on to the beautiful ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
