Chemical and Biological Properties of Hymenaea courbaril L.: A Review
PRISMA‐style flowchart showing the screening process of studies identified and selected in the review has been added to the attachments. ABSTRACT Hymenaea courbaril L., commonly known as jatobá, is a plant traditionally used by native populations for medicinal purposes, in addition to providing edible fruits and durable wood for construction.

Abstract Conventional optical microscopy imaging of obligate intracellular bacteria is hampered by the small size of bacterial cells, tight clustering exhibited by some bacterial species and challenges relating to labelling such as background from host cells, a lack of validated reagents, and a lack of tools for genetic manipulation.

Regulation of Caulobacter crescentus ilvBN gene expression [PDF]
As part of an effort to determine the mechanisms employed by Caulobacter crescentus to regulate gene expression, the ilvBN genes encoding the two subunits of an acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS) have been characterized. Analysis of the DNA sequences indicated that the C. crescentus AHAS was highly homologous to AHAS isozymes from other organisms.

Abstract ClpXP and other AAA proteases maintain proteostasis and regulate cellular functions by degrading misfolded, incomplete, or regulatory proteins. ClpX recognizes substrates via unstructured degron sequences, typically located at the N‐ or C‐terminus. Although five classes of degrons are known, only recognition of the ssrA tag, a C‐motif‐1 degron,

ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural polyester synthesized and stored intracellularly as cytoplasmic granules, serving as a carbon and energy reserve in certain bacteria. These granules are surrounded by a variety of proteins, including those directly involved in PHB metabolism—both in its synthesis and degradation—as well as a group of non ...

Characterization of the SOS Regulon ofCaulobacter crescentus [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe SOS regulon is a paradigm of bacterial responses to DNA damage. A wide variety of bacterial species possess homologs oflexAandrecA, the central players in the regulation of the SOS circuit. Nevertheless, the genes actually regulated by the SOS have been determined only experimentally in a few bacterial species.

Bacterial actin MreB forms antiparallel double filaments
Filaments of all actin-like proteins known to date are assembled from pairs of protofilaments that are arranged in a parallel fashion, generating polarity.

Regulatory response to carbon starvation in Caulobacter crescentus. [PDF]
Bacteria adapt to shifts from rapid to slow growth, and have developed strategies for long-term survival during prolonged starvation and stress conditions. We report the regulatory response of C.

ZapA uses a two‐pronged mechanism to facilitate Z ring formation in Escherichia coli
Abstract The tubulin‐like protein FtsZ assembles into the Z ring that leads to the assembly and activation of the division machinery in most bacteria. ZapA, a widely conserved protein that interacts with FtsZ, plays a pivotal role in organizing FtsZ filaments into a coherent Z ring.

Morphology of Caulobacter crescentus and the Mechanical Role of Crescentin [PDF]
Bacterial cells exist in a wide variety of shapes. To understand the mechanism of bacterial shape maintenance, we investigate the morphology of Caulobacter crescentus, which is a Gram-negative bacterium that adopts a helical crescent shape. It is known that crescentin, an intermediate filament homolog of C.
