Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function [PDF]
, 2020 Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are the backbone of all processes in living cells. In this work we relate conservation, essentiality and functional repertoire of a gene to the connectivity $k$ of the corresponding protein in the PPI networks ...

Protamine-like proteins have bactericidal activity. The first evidence in Mytilus galloprovincialis. [PDF]
, 2018 The major acid-soluble protein components of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis sperm chromatin consist of the protamine-like proteins PL-II, PL-III and PL-IV, an intermediate group of sperm nuclear basic proteins between histones and protamines.

Bacterial Enhancer Binding Proteins—AAA+ Proteins in Transcription Activation
Biomolecules, 2020 Bacterial enhancer-binding proteins (bEBPs) are specialised transcriptional activators. bEBPs are hexameric AAA+ ATPases and use ATPase activities to remodel RNA polymerase (RNAP) complexes that contain the major variant sigma factor, σ54 to convert

Structure and function of bacterial dynamin-like proteins [PDF]
, 2012 Membrane dynamics are essential for numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, membrane fusion and fission are often catalyzed by large GTPases of the dynamin protein family. These proteins couple GTP hydrolysis
