Influence of Prebiotic Fructans on Retronasal Aroma from Elderly Individuals

Molecules, 2021
This study investigates for the first time the role of fructans with prebiotic effects (oligofructose and inulin) on retronasal aroma among elderly individuals.

The Myxococcus xanthus socE and csgA genes are regulated by the stringent response [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2000
Disruption of the Myxococcus xanthus socE gene bypasses the requirement for the cell contact‐dependent C‐signalling system mediated by CsgA and restores fruiting body morphogenesis and spore differentiation. The socE gene has been identified by genetic complementation, cloned and sequenced.

The curli nucleator protein, CsgB, contains an amyloidogenic domain that directs CsgA polymerization [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Curli are functional amyloid fibers assembled by enteric bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. In E. coli , the polymerization of the major curli fiber subunit protein CsgA into an amyloid fiber ...

Aggregated CsgA Does Not Form In‐Register Parallel Structures

The FASEB Journal, 2018
Curli are hair‐like fibers used by the bacteria for adhesion and invasion, implicating them in the pathogenesis of bacterial disease. The main protein component of Curli is CsgA, and the main focus of our work is to characterize the structure of oligomerized CsgA.

The stringent response in Myxococcus xanthus is regulated by SocE and the CsgA C-signaling protein [PDF]

Genes & Development, 2000
Myxococcus xanthus fruiting body development is induced by amino acid limitation. The decision to grow or develop is established by the RelA-dependent stringent response and A-signaling. We identified two new members of this regulatory hierarchy, socE and the C-signaling gene csgA.

Genome scan for loci linked to mite sensitivity: the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Asthma (CSGA) [PDF]

Genes & Immunity, 2004
Mite sensitivity has been reported to be a major risk factor for asthma. As part of the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Asthma (CSGA), a genome scan using mite reactivity (Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus (Der p) and Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f)) as the phenotype was conducted. In 287 CSGA families, 122 were informative for linkage.

Structural insights into <i>Escherichia coli</i> CsgA amyloid fibril assembly revisited. [PDF]

mBio
ABSTRACT Curli are a widespread component of proteobacterial biofilms. They are functional amyloid fibers that aid in structuring the extracellular matrix that surrounds these multicellular communities. As a functional amyloid, they are the product of a dedicated assembly pathway that needs to

Engineering curli protein fibers as advanced materials for sustainable applications

Chemical Engineering Journal. Green and Sustainable
Curli fibers are the main constituents of bacterial biofilms, where they contribute to attachment to surfaces and host colonization. The major structural subunit of these extracellular fibers is the protein CsgA (Curli-specific gene A), which is known to
