Subversion of the Endocytic and Secretory Pathways by Bacterial Effector Proteins
Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2018 Intracellular bacteria have developed numerous strategies to hijack host vesicular trafficking pathways to form their unique replicative niches. To promote intracellular replication, the bacteria must interact with host organelles and modulate host ...

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 ...

SEDS proteins are a widespread family of bacterial cell wall polymerases
Nature, 2016 Elongation of rod-shaped bacteria is mediated by a dynamic peptidoglycan-synthetizing machinery called the Rod complex. Here we report that, in Bacillus subtilis, this complex is functional in the absence of all known peptidoglycan polymerases.

Intracellular proteins moonlighting as bacterial adhesion factors
AIMS Microbiology, 2018 Pathogenic and commensal, or probiotic, bacteria employ adhesins on the cell surface to attach to and interact with the host. Dozens of the adhesins that play key roles in binding to host cells or extracellular matrix were originally identified as ...

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 ...

Voltage Sensing in Bacterial Protein Translocation [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 The bacterial channel SecYEG efficiently translocates both hydrophobic and hydrophilic proteins across the plasma membrane. Translocating polypeptide chains may dislodge the plug, a half helix that blocks the permeation of small molecules, from its position in the middle of the aqueous translocation channel.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...
