Cryo‐EM structures of multiple‐peptide resistance factor (MprF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cryo‐EM analysis of MprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a dimeric enzyme, distinct from Rhizobium homologues. The soluble GNAT domain contains a dynamic amphipathic helix (TTH) that adopts different positions in detergent micelle and nanodisc, relative to the membrane.

Antigenicity of bacterial membrane-cardiolipin and reactivity of anti-cardiolipin antibody with bacteria and DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
I investigated the possibility of production of antibody to bacterial membrane-cardiolipin using cardiolipin micelles, Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and L-form of S. aureus. I also investigated and the reactivity of anti-cardiolipin (CL) antibody with

Aptamer‐mediated outer membrane destabilization overcomes low permeability resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNA aptamers, Apt 60 and Apt 173, target the BamA protein to compromise outer membrane integrity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, making it susceptible to Azithromycin, an antibiotic that is otherwise poorly effective due to the low‐permeability membrane.

Activity modulation of the Escherichia coli F1FO ATP synthase by a designed antimicrobial peptide via cardiolipin sequestering

open access: yes, 2023
Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exert their microbicidal activity through membrane permeabilization. The designed AMP EcDBS1R4 has a cryptic mechanism of action involving the membrane hyperpolarization of Escherichia coli, suggesting that EcDBS1R4 may

Diminished exercise capacity and mitochondrial bc1 complex deficiency in tafazzin-knockdown mice.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
The phospholipid, cardiolipin, is essential for maintaining mitochondrial structure and optimal function. Cardiolipin-deficiency in humans, Barth syndrome, is characterized by exercise intolerance, dilated cardiomyopathy, neutropenia and 3-methyl ...

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

PTPMT1: Connecting Cardiolipin Biosynthesis to Mitochondrial Function

open access: yes, 2011
Cardiolipin, a phospholipid component of the inner mitochondrial membrane, is required for mitochondrial metabolism. In this issue, Zhang et al. (2011) highlight a critical role for PTPMT1, a mitochondrial phosphatase, in cardiolipin biogenesis and ...

Abstract 067 | Special lecture: cardiolipin and mitochondrial quality control in aging

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Translational Myology
A progressive decline in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) is a fundamental feature of aging and a strong predictor of mobility loss, cognitive decline, and dementia.

Isolation and purification of cardiolipin from beef heart.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1985
A simple and efficient procedure is described for the preparation of cardiolipin sodium salt from beef heart. A crude phospholipid fraction is isolated by chloroform-methanol extraction of the homogenized tissue, followed by acetone precipitation and ...

Design and Implementation of an Automated Interpretation Algorithm for Lupus Anticoagulant Functional Testing

open access: yesInternational Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lupus anticoagulant (LA) testing is essential, albeit complex, in the laboratory diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Given the multi‐step workflow and the variability introduced by anticoagulant therapy, reagent differences, and interpretive approaches, result interpretation requires expert evaluation.
