The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

The Phospholipid N-Methyltransferase and Phosphatidylcholine Synthase Pathways and the ChoXWV Choline Uptake System Involved in Phosphatidylcholine Synthesis Are Widely Conserved in Most, but Not All Brucella Species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The brucellae are facultative intracellular bacteria with a cell envelope rich in phosphatidylcholine (PC). PC is abundant in eukaryotes but rare in prokaryotes, and it has been proposed that Brucella uses PC to mimic eukaryotic-like features and avoid ...

Structural Analysis and Inhibitor Modeling of Bacterioferritin From Brucella abortus

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron homeostasis in various pathogenic bacteria is regulated by bacterioferritins (Bfr) which function to store Fe3+ and release Fe2+ as needed for metabolic processes. The Bfr structure consists of 18 kDa subunits in which dimer pairs bind a heme molecule and are assembled into a highly symmetrical 24‐meric spherical structure with an ...

Prevalence of brucellosis in buffaloes and its control measures

Journal of Veterinary Medical Research, 2017
Brucellosis is considered an economically important highly contagious and zoonotic bacterial disease of water buffaloes. Control of brucellosis in buffaloes is very important for public health. The efficacy of control program depends on the detection and

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Approaches to increase recovery of bacterial and fungal abortion agents in domestic ruminants

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023
Abortions in domestic ruminants cause significant economic losses to farmers. Determining the cause of an abortion is important for control efforts, but it can be challenging.
