Assessment of plant chaperonin-60 gene function in Escherichia coli

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
Brassica napus chaperonin-60 alpha and chaperonin-60 beta genes expressed separately and in combination produce three novel Escherichia coli strains: alpha, beta, and alpha beta. In beta and alpha beta cells, the plant gene products assemble efficiently into tetradecameric cpn60(14) species, including novel hybrids containing both bacterial and plant ...

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.

Mutation profile of BBS genes in patients with Bardet–Biedl syndrome: an Italian study

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2019
Background Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare inherited multisystemic disorder with autosomal recessive or complex digenic triallelic inheritance. There is currently no treatment for BBS, but some morbidities can be managed.

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Microcystin-Bound Protein Patterns in Different Cultures of Microcystis aeruginosa and Field Samples

Toxins, 2016
Micocystin (MC) exists in Microcystis cells in two different forms, free and protein-bound. We examined the dynamic change in extracellular free MCs, intracellular free MCs and protein-bound MCs in both batch cultures and semi-continuous cultures, using ...

Selection, phenotyping and identification of acid and hydrogen peroxide producing bacteria from vaginal samples of Canadian and East African women. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The common but poorly understood condition known as bacterial vaginosis (BV) increases vulnerability to HIV infection and is associated with the absence of H(2)O(2)-producing Lactobacillus. Vaginal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce anti-HIV factors such

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

Chaperonin filaments: The archael cytoskeleton

, 1997
Chaperonins are multi-subunit double-ring complexed composed of 60-kDa proteins that are believed to mediate protein folding in vivo. The chaperonins in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae are composed of the organism`s two most abundant ...

A Study of the Vaginal Microbiome in Healthy Canadian Women Utilizing cpn60-Based Molecular Profiling Reveals Distinct Gardnerella Subgroup Community State Types. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The vaginal microbiota is important in women's reproductive and overall health. However, the relationships between the structure, function and dynamics of this complex microbial community and health outcomes remain elusive.

In vitro dissociation and self‐assembly of three chaperonin 60s: the role of ATP [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1995
A comparative study has investigated the in vitro dissociation and self‐assembly of chaperonin 60 14‐mers isolated from E. coli (GroEL), yeast mitochondria and pea chloroplasts. In all cases Mg2+ inhibits, and low temperature stimulates, the urea‐induced dissociation. ATP or ADP in the presence of Mg2+ enhance the dissociation of the chaperonins.
