Bacterial flagellar capping proteins adopt diverse oligomeric states
eLife, 2016 Flagella are crucial for bacterial motility and pathogenesis. The flagellar capping protein (FliD) regulates filament assembly by chaperoning and sorting flagellin (FliC) proteins after they traverse the hollow filament and exit the growing flagellum tip.

Role of Toll-Like Receptors in the interplay between pathogen and damage associated molecular patterns [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Various theoretical studies have been carried out to infer relevant protein-protein interactions among pathogens and their hosts. Such studies are generally based on preferential attachment of bacteria / virus to their human receptor homologs. We have analyzed 17 pathogenic species mainly belonging to bacterial and viral pathogenic classes, with the ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TGF‐β has a complex role in cancer, exhibiting both tumor‐suppressive and tumor‐promoting properties. Using a series of differentiated tumoroids, derived from different stages and mutational background of colorectal cancer patients, we replicate this duality of TGF‐β in vitro. Notably, the atypical but highly aggressive KRASQ22K mutation rendered early‐

Liquid-liquid phase separation of a surfactant-solubilized membrane protein [PDF]
, 2002 The phase behavior of membrane proteins stems from a complex synergy with the amphiphilic molecules required for their solubilization. We show that ionization of a pH-sensitive surfactant, LDAO, bound to a bacterial photosynthetic protein, the Reaction Center (RC), leads in a narrow pH range to protein liquid-liquid phase separation in surprisingly ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We provide a step‐by‐step guide for producing E140 antigen fragments from Plasmodium berghei (Pb1) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv1). Pb1/Pv1 are expressed in E. coli, solubilized by freeze–thawing, refolded by slow dilution, purified by affinity chromatography (IMAC), then concentrated and subjected to quality control.

Identification of Human Proteins vulnerable to multiple Organisms and their disease associations [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 While most studies emphasize on certain aspects of Pathogen-Host Interactions (PHI), such as the preferential attachment of bacteria or virus to its human receptor homolog, studies have attempted to methodically classify interactions among pathogenic proteins and their host proteins.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The thermophilic acetogenic model organism Moorella thermoacetica can utilize lactate as substrate. The formation of lactate by reduction of pyruvate is energetically favorable, but the reverse reaction, the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate with NAD+ as electron acceptor is challenging.

Exactly solvable model of gene expression in proliferating bacterial cell population with stochastic protein bursts and protein partitioning [PDF]
, 2019 Many of the existing stochastic models of gene expression contain the first-order decay reaction term that may describe active protein degradation or dilution. If the model variable is interpreted as the molecule number, and not concentration, the decay term may also approximate the loss of protein molecules due to cell division as a continuous ...

Identification of inhibitors of the Salmonella FraB deglycase, a drug target
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.A high‐throughput screen was used to identify inhibitors of Salmonella FraB, a drug target. Characterization of top hits (identified after an additional counter screen) revealed that some triazolidines, thiadiazolidines, and triazolothiadiazoles are mixed‐type inhibitors of FraB.
