Microtubules in Bacteria: Ancient Tubulins Build a Five-Protofilament Homolog of the Eukaryotic Cytoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Microtubules play crucial roles in cytokinesis, transport, and motility, and are therefore superb targets for anti-cancer drugs. All tubulins evolved from a common ancestor they share with the distantly related bacterial cell division protein FtsZ, but ...

Bacterial Ice Crystal Controlling Proteins

open access: yesScientifica, 2014
Across the world, many ice active bacteria utilize ice crystal controlling proteins for aid in freezing tolerance at subzero temperatures. Ice crystal controlling proteins include both antifreeze and ice nucleation proteins.

Bacterial Signal Peptides- Navigating the Journey of Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
In 1971, Blobel proposed the first statement of the Signal Hypothesis which suggested that proteins have amino-terminal sequences that dictate their export and localization in the cell.

Bacterial rotary export ATPases are allosterically regulated by the nucleotide second messenger cyclic-di-GMP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The widespread second messenger molecule cyclic di-GMP (cdG) regulates the transition from motile and virulent lifestyles to sessile, biofilm-forming ones in a wide range of bacteria. Many pathogenic and commensal bacterial-host interactions are known to

Role of glutathionylation in infection and inflammation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Glutathionylation, that is, the formation of mixed disulfides between protein cysteines and glutathione (GSH) cysteines, is a reversible post-translational modification catalyzed by dierent cellular oxidoreductases, by which the redox state of the cell

Characterization of newly isolated lytic bacteriophages active against Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Based on genotyping and host range, two newly isolated lytic bacteriophages, myovirus vB_AbaM_Acibel004 and podovirus vB_AbaP_Acibel007, active against Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains, were selected from a new phage library for further ...

Bacterial type III secretion systems: a complex device for the delivery of bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2018
Virulence-associated type III secretion systems (T3SS) serve the injection of bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells. They are able to secrete a great diversity of substrate proteins in order to modulate host cell function, and have ...

Antimicrobial Activity and Mechanisms of Punicalagin against Vibrio parahaemolyticus

open access: yesFoods
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.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...
