Type IV Coupling Proteins as Potential Targets to Control the Dissemination of Antibiotic Resistance
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 The increase of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, together with the loss of effectiveness of currently available antibiotics, represents one of the most serious threats to public health worldwide. The loss of human lives and the economic

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.

The ubiquitin system and jasmonate signaling [PDF]
, 2016 The ubiquitin (Ub) system is involved in most, if not all, biological processes in eukaryotes. The major specificity determinants of this system are the E3 ligases, which bind and ubiquitinate specific sets of proteins and are thereby responsible for ...

Genetic stereo matching using complex conjugate wavelet pyramids [PDF]
Proceedings 2001 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat. No.01CH37205), 2002 A new genetic algorithm-based optimisation technique for stereo matching using complex conjugate wavelet pyramids is proposed. Reliable disparity fields are estimated in the wavelet domain with low computational cost. The new cost function is composed of the differences in wavelet coefficient values, plus vertical discontinuity and ordering constraints.

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.

Development of a high-throughput platform to measure plasmid transfer frequency
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Antibiotic resistance represents one of the greatest threats to global health. The spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria occurs mostly through horizontal gene transfer via conjugation mediated by plasmids.
