Functional studies of E. faecalis RNase J2 and its role in virulence and fitness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Post-transcriptional control provides bacterial pathogens a method by which they can rapidly adapt to environmental change. Dual exo- and endonucleolytic activities of RNase J enzymes contribute to Gram-positive RNA processing and decay. First discovered

Water, water, every where-the advent of hydrated pili structure. [PDF]

FEBS J
Protein structure is defined by its surrounding water. Naturally, this is also true for the gigantic protein filaments that pathogenic bacteria use to attach to and colonize their host cells. Structures of these filaments for which water can be identified with high confidence have stayed elusive for the longest time.

Site‐Specific Protein Bioconjugation Through Cellular Incorporation of Noncanonical Amino Acids

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genetic code expansion (GCE) enables site‐specific installation of noncanonical amino acids containing bioorthogonal conjugation handles, allowing precise, homogeneous protein modification. This review examines the principles of orthogonal translation, surveys the chemistries available for chemoselective labeling, and highlights emerging multi‐site ...

Structure of CfaA suggests a new family of chaperones essential for assembly of class 5 fimbriae. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Adhesive pili on the surface of pathogenic bacteria comprise polymerized pilin subunits and are essential for initiation of infections. Pili assembled by the chaperone-usher pathway (CUP) require periplasmic chaperones that assist subunit folding ...

The influence of pH on the specific adhesion of P piliated Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Adhesion to host tissues is an initiating step in a majority of bacterial infections. In the case of Gram-negative bacteria this adhesion is often mediated by a specific interaction between an adhesin, positioned at the distal end of bacterial pili, and ...

Functional characterization of a mucus-specific LPXTG surface adhesin from probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG [PDF]

, 2011
In spite of the wealth of clinical evidence supporting the health benefits of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in humans, there is still a lack of understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind its probiosis.

Extraction, Profiling, and Characterization of Phytosterols and Triterpenoids from Pili (Canarium ovatum Engl.) Pulp Oil Exhibiting Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties

Biochemistry Research International, 2022
Pili (Canarium ovatum Engl.), an indigenous tree found in the Philippines, is highly regarded for its fruit due to its high economic value. During processing, the pulp is often discarded as waste but contains considerable amounts of oil and bioactive ...

ROLE OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN G (IgG) FROM THE INDUCTION OF Escherichia coli PILI ADHESION PROTEIN ISOLATED FROM INFERTILE MALE SEMEN WITH 32.2 KDA MOLECULAR WEIGHT AS OPSONIN AND ANTI-ADHESION AN IN VITRO Escherichia coli INFECTION

Folia Medica Indonesiana, 2017
Escherichia coli (E. coli), a major cause of male genital tract infections, is asymptomatic and may result in male infertility. We have succeeded in isolating and characterizing proteins of E.
