Effect of Dietary Minerals on Virulence Attributes of Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Vibrio cholerae is a water-borne pathogen responsible for causing a toxin-mediated profuse diarrhea in humans, leading to severe dehydration and death in unattended patients. With increasing reports of antibiotic resistance in V.

De Novo Design of Integrin α5β1 Modulating Proteins to Enhance Biomaterial Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
NeoNectins are de novo‐designed miniproteins that selectively bind and stabilize the extended open form of integrin α5β1. When grafted onto biomaterials including hydrogel and titanium, they promote cell attachment and spreading in vitro and promoting tissue integration and bone growth in animal models, demonstrating broad potential for regenerative ...

Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultured cells as a model for studying physiological properties and toxin-induced effects on intestinal cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Infectious gastrointestinal diseases are frequently caused by toxins secreted by pathogens which may impair physiological functions of the intestines, for instance by cholera toxin or by heat-labile enterotoxin.

Electrical Monitoring of Vibrio vulnificus–Host Cell Membrane Interactions in Simple and Complex Matrices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Supported lipid bilayers coupled with multielectrode array devices offer significant promise for pathogen–host cell membrane interaction studies. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the compatibility of this platform with biological fluids, in this case whole human blood, essential for any future point‐of‐care applications; as well as its ...

The adenylate cyclase receptor complex and aqueous humor formation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The secretory tissue of the eye, the ciliary processes, contains an enzyme receptor complex, composed of membrane proteins, the catalytic moiety of the enzyme adenylate cyclase, a guanyl nucleotide regulatory protein (or N protein), and other features ...

Role of Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase in the function of cholera toxin [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1992
Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (NANase) is hypothesized to act synergistically with cholera toxin (CT) and increase the severity of a secretory response by increasing the binding and penetration of CT to enterocytes. To test this hypothesis, the NANase gene (nanH) from V. cholerae Ogawa 395 was first cloned and sequenced.

Leveraging Design of Experiments to Unravel the Amplification Mechanism of Single‐Molecule Wide‐Field Biosensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Detecting single molecules on large interfaces is challenging due to minimal perturbations on the sensing surface. Some biological systems achieve this feat using amplification mechanisms, but their molecular foundations remain unclear. To investigate, a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach examines how pH and ionic strength in conditioning solutions ...

Construction of an El Tor Biovariant Vibrio cholerae Strain Capable of Type II Cholera Toxin Hyperproduction and Determining the Optimal Conditions for the Production of This Protein

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2008
Introduction of Tn5-Mob (KmR) transposon into the chromosome of the toxinogenic V. cholerae strain MAK757 El Tor biovar was shown to result in the emergence of insertion mutants containing an altered genome of CTXφ prophage.

The actions of Pasteurella multocida toxin on neuronal cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) activates the G-proteins Gα, Gα, Gα Gα and Gα by deamidation of specific glutamine residues. A number of these alpha subunits have signalling roles in neurones.
