Comparative Genomics and Pathogenicity Analysis of Two Bacterial Symbionts of Entomopathogenic Nematodes: The Role of the GroEL Protein in Virulence

Microorganisms, 2022
Bacteria of the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes. Despite their close phylogenetic relationship, they show differences in their pathogenicity and virulence mechanisms in target insects.

Fungal, not insect: Revisiting a misidentified Bemisia tabaci protein interacting with a begomovirus coat protein

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

The refolding of recombinant human liver methylmalonyl-CoA mutase from inclusion bodies produced in Escherichia coli : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]

, 1998
Human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (hMCM) is an adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme that catalyses the structural rearrangement of (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA as pan of the catabolism of the branched chain amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine,

OsCPN10a, cooperating with OsCPN20 and OsHSP60‐3B negatively regulate ABA signaling and enhance seed storability in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Abscisic acid signaling homeostasis is essential for seed storability. The molecular chaperone OsCPN10a enhances rice seed storability by forming a trimeric chaperone complex with OsCPN20‐OsHSP60‐3B that attenuates abscisic acid signaling via direct interaction with OsPYL10‐OsABIL1, thereby maintaining starch integrity and offering a promising target ...

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

Heat Shock Protein 60 (HSP60) detection by QCM Biosensor and Antibody Covered Gold Nanoparticles

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2021
Heat Shock Protein 60 (HSP60) is a 60 kDa weighting chaperonin that is an evolutionary conserved protein occurring in a wide number of organisms. It can serve as a plasma or blood serum biomarker of serious pathologies including cancer.

A proteomic investigation of Fusobacterium nucleatum alkaline-induced biofilms [PDF]

, 2012
Background: The Gram negative anaerobe Fusobacterium nucleatum has been implicated in the aetiology of periodontal diseases. Although frequently isolated from healthy dental plaque, its numbers and proportion increase in plaque associated with disease ...

Physiology and Transcriptomics Reveal Divergent Strategies of Mycorrhiza‐Mediated Drought Adaptation in Poplar

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mycorrhizal symbiosis shapes plant growth and stress resilience. Here, we compared physiological and molecular responses of poplars (P. x canescens) colonised by Paxillus involutus (Pi) or Cenococcum geophilum (Cg) under control conditions, drought stress and recovery.

A multi‐omics investigation of sarcopenia and frailty: Integrating genomic, epigenomic and telomere length data

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia and frailty are complex geriatric syndromes influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that specific genetic variants, DNA methylation patterns and shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related diseases and might contribute to the development of both sarcopenia and frailty. In this
