Bacterial porin disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and sensitizes host cells to apoptosis [PDF]

, 2009
The bacterial PorB porin, an ATP-binding beta-barrel protein of pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoeae, triggers host cell apoptosis by an unknown mechanism. PorB is targeted to and imported by host cell mitochondria, causing the breakdown of the mitochondrial

Novel cyclic di-GMP effectors of the YajQ protein family control bacterial virulence [PDF]

, 2014
Bis-(3',5') cyclic di-guanylate (cyclic di-GMP) is a key bacterial second messenger that is implicated in the regulation of many critical processes that include motility, biofilm formation and virulence. Cyclic di-GMP influences diverse functions through

Detection of the babA2 adhesin gene in Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates and correlation with upper gastrointestinal diseases [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Helicobacter 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 ...

Antimicrobial Activity and Mechanisms of Punicalagin against Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Foods
This study sought to explore the antimicrobial activity of punicalagin against V. parahaemolyticus and its potential modes of action. V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802 and RIMD 2210633Sm were exposed to punicalagin, and the energy production, membrane ...

Eukaryotic CD-NTase, STING, and viperin proteins evolved via domain shuffling, horizontal transfer, and ancient inheritance from prokaryotes.

PLoS Biology, 2023
Animals use a variety of cell-autonomous innate immune proteins to detect viral infections and prevent replication. Recent studies have discovered that a subset of mammalian antiviral proteins have homology to antiphage defense proteins in bacteria ...

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 ...
