Potential Protectivity of a Conjugated COVID-19 Vaccine against Tetanus

Vaccines
PastoCovac is a subunit protein vaccine against COVID-19 which contains the tetanus toxoid as a carrier conjugated to SARS-CoV-2 RBD. The primary goal of the tetanus application was to elicit a stronger specific response in the individuals.

Acylation of the Type 3 Secretion System Translocon Using a Dedicated Acyl Carrier Protein. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2017
Bacterial pathogens often deliver effectors into host cells using type 3 secretion systems (T3SS), the extremity of which forms a translocon that perforates the host plasma membrane.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Apicoplast lipoic acid protein ligase B is not essential for Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

, 2007
Lipoic acid (LA) is an essential cofactor of α-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes (KADHs) and the glycine cleavage system. In Plasmodium, LA is attached to the KADHs by organelle-specific lipoylation pathways.

Isolation and characterisation of the intermembrane space components of the mitochondrial TIM22 protein import machinery of Neurospora crassa [PDF]

, 2004
Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles of eukaryotic organisms, which import most of their proteinaceous constituents from the cytoplasm. Two mitochondrial membranes contain different translocation machineries which are involved in the import and

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Isolation of two putative acyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase enzymes from Kochia scoparia

, 2000
5-Hexadecenoic acid can be used to produce a semiochemical method to control the disease-carrying mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. This ususual fatty acid is produced in the seed of Kochia scoparia.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Import pathways of precursor proteins into mitochondria [PDF]

, 1988
The precursor of porin, a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, competes for the import of precursors destined for the three other mitochondrial compartments, including the Fe/S protein of the bc1- complex (intermembrane space), the ADP/ATP carrier ...

Structural Characterisation of the Beta-Ketoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthases, FabF and FabH, of Yersinia pestis [PDF]

, 2015
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of bubonic, pneumonic and septicaemic plague, remains a major public health threat, with outbreaks of disease occurring in China, Madagascar and Peru in the last five years.
