Analysis of SUMO1-conjugation at synapses

eLife, 2017
SUMO1-conjugation of proteins at neuronal synapses is considered to be a major post-translational regulatory process in nerve cell and synapse function, but the published evidence for SUMO1-conjugation at synapses is contradictory.

Efficient Gene Transfer in Bacterial Cell Chains

mBio, 2011
Horizontal gene transfer contributes to evolution and the acquisition of new traits. In bacteria, horizontal gene transfer is often mediated by conjugative genetic elements that transfer directly from cell to cell.

Monitoring Bacterial Conjugation by Optical Microscopy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bacterial conjugation is the main mechanism for horizontal gene transfer, conferring plasticity to the genome repertoire. This process is also the major instrument for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. Hence, gathering primary information

Transposon insertion sequencing reveals T4SS as the major genetic trait for conjugation transfer of multi-drug resistance pEIB202 from Edwardsiella

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Conjugation is a major type of horizontal transmission of genes that involves transfer of a plasmid into a recipient using specific conjugation machinery, which results in an extended spectrum of bacterial antibiotics resistance.

Improvement of the conjugation transfer of N. gerenzanensis based on the synergistic effect of quorum sensing and antibiotic interference

AMB Express, 2023
Nonomuraea gerenzanensis (N. gerenzanensis) is known for its ability to biosynthesize A40926, the precursor of the glycopeptide antibiotic (GPA) Dalbavancin.

Models for Gut-Mediated Horizontal Gene Transfer by Bacterial Plasmid Conjugation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The emergence of new antimicrobial resistant and virulent bacterial strains may pose a threat to human and animal health. Bacterial plasmid conjugation is a significant contributor to rapid microbial evolutions that results in the emergence and spread of

Detecting rare gene transfer events in bacterial populations

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) enables bacteria to access, share, and recombine genetic variation, resulting in genetic diversity that cannot be obtained through mutational processes alone.

Clinical and Biological Features of Response in Resistant Neuroblastoma to 131I‐Metaiodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy in the Anti‐GD2 Immunotherapy Era

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

GENETICS OF CHEMICAL INDUCTION OF CONJUGATION IN PARAMECIUM AURELIA [PDF]

Genetics, 1974
ABSTRACT Certain stocks of P. aurelia, syngen 8, could not be induced to conjugate in a solution (KCl + acriflavine + calcium-poor conditions) which was effective in inducing conjugation in other species of Paramecium as well as in other stocks of syngen 8.
