Brucella DNA is not detected in in-vitro produced embryos derived from ovaries of naturally infected Brucella DNA is not detected in in-vitro produced embryos derived from ovaries of naturally infected buffaloes

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The aim of this study was to screen for Brucella spp. buffalo embryos produced in- vitro, by using cumulus oocytes complexes (COCs) recovered from ovaries of slaughtered buffaloes naturally infected with Brucella spp. Ovaries were collected from 5 female

Molecular targets for rapid identification of Brucella spp [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2006
Abstract Background Brucella is an intracellular pathogen capable of infecting animals and humans. There are six recognized species of Brucella that differ in their host preference. The genomes of the three Brucella species have been recently sequenced. Comparison of the three revealed over 98% sequence

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 ...

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 ...
