Breaking barriers: transitioning from X‐ray crystallography to cryo‐EM for structural studies
This article describes the transition of the Glass laboratory from X‐ray crystallography to single‐particle cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) for structural studies of ATAD2B, a large AAA+ ATPase‐ and bromodomain‐containing protein involved in chromatin regulation.

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

By a global proteomic profiling of senescent human BJ fibroblasts induced by ionizing radiation, key cellular features required for the survival of senescent fibroblasts were revealed, and pyruvate dehydrogenase was demonstrated as a potent senolytic target for selectively eliminating senescent normal cells, particularly the therapy‐induced senescent ...

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

Summary Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a mycotoxin that disrupts ceramide biosynthesis and kills plants. Prior activation with bacterial microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), such as components of bacterial flagella, effectively suppresses FB1‐induced cell death.

Purification and characterization of chaperonins 60 and 10 from Methylobacillus glycogenes
Two proteins belonging to the group I chaperonin family were isolated from an obligate methanotroph, Methylobacillus glycogenes. The two proteins, one a GroEL homologue (cpn60: M. glycogenes 60 kDa chaperonin) and the other a GroES homologue (cpn10: M. glycogenes 10 kDa chaperonin), composed a heteropolymeric complex in the presence of ATP.

ABSTRACT Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are highly conserved molecular chaperones that maintain proteostasis under environmental and physiological stress. In aquaculture research, HSP responses have been studied primarily in relation to temperature, salinity, pollutants, and pathogens in juvenile and adult stages, whereas the nutritional regulation of HSP ...

Gardnerella vaginalis Subgroups Defined by cpn60 Sequencing and Sialidase Activity in Isolates from Canada, Belgium and Kenya. [PDF]
Increased abundance of Gardnerella vaginalis and sialidase activity in vaginal fluid is associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common but poorly understood clinical entity associated with poor reproductive health outcomes.
