Journal of Dairy Science: The growth and reproduction of microorganisms are dependent on nutrient supply. Here, milk and Luria-Bertani (LB) media were used as nutrition sources for Escherichia coli, and the changes in bacterial and secretory proteins at 3 time points (3, 9, and

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.

Bacterial TIR domain-containing proteins as drug targets
As an alternative to traditional antibiotics that kill bacteria, we can interfere with bacterial virulence. Bacteria have many proteins that contain the so-called TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains, which are also found widely in animals and ...

Bacterial Drug Efflux Proteins.
Nippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 1995 近年,数多くの薬剤排出系が様々な菌種に見いだされ,有力な化学療法剤耐性機構として認識されつつある。特に,臨床上問題視されているMRSAや緑膿菌などの多剤耐性菌に薬剤排出蛋白が多く存在することは注目すべきである。遺伝子解析により多くの排出蛋白のアミノ酸配列が明らかにされた。薬剤排出蛋白はいずれも細胞質膜に存在するが,薬剤排出のエネルギー源として,H+の電気化学的勾配を用いるものと,ATPを用いるものと2種類ある。また,構造上関連性のない多種の薬剤を認識し排出する多剤排出蛋白の存在が排出による薬剤耐性のひとつの特徴であるが,特異性の高い排出蛋白との間で一次配列の相同性が高く,多剤排出蛋白がどのように基質を認識しているのか興味が持たれる ...

Bacterial AsmA Proteins Transfer Glycerophospholipids Between Membranes
ContactGram-negative bacteria are surrounded by inner and outer membranes whose glycerophospholipid building blocks are synthesized in the inner membrane and redistributed to the outer membrane by poorly understood mechanisms.

Domain organization of long autotransporter signal sequences [PDF]
, 2010 Bacterial autotransporters represent a diverse family of proteins that autonomously translocate across the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria via the Sec complex and across the outer bacterial membrane.

Hijacking Complement Regulatory Proteins for Bacterial Immune Evasion
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The human complement system plays an important role in the defense against invading pathogens, inflammation and homeostasis. Invading microbes, such as bacteria, directly activate the complement system resulting in the formation of chemoattractants and ...

Automatic selection of representative proteins for bacterial phylogeny
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005 Background Although there are now about 200 complete bacterial genomes in GenBank, deep bacterial phylogeny remains a difficult problem, due to confounding horizontal gene transfers and other phylogenetic "noise".

Synthesis of empty bacterial microcompartments, directed organelle protein incorporation, and evidence of filament-associated organelle movement [PDF]
, 2010 Compartmentalization is an important process, since it allows the segregation of metabolic activities and, in the era of synthetic biology, represents an important tool by which defined microenvironments can be created for specific metabolic functions ...
