Localization and Dynamics of the Cell Shape-Determining Csd2 Protein Complex in H. pylori [PDF]

Cells
Approximately half of the world population is infected with the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastric inflammation, chronic gastritis, or peptide ulceration. A significant factor in the colonization of the upper digestive system is the

Control of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa LbcA•CtpA proteolytic complex and its substrates [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a highly adaptable bacterial pathogen with a resilient cell envelope. This envelope must be elongated as cells grow, which requires coordinated biosynthesis of the inner and outer membranes and the peptidoglycan cell wall.

A Cell Wall Hydrolase MepH Is Negatively Regulated by Proteolysis Involving Prc and NlpI in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Cell wall assembly of Gram-negative bacteria requires DD-endopeptidase activity that cleaves peptidoglycan (PG) crosslinks in addition to PG synthetic activity, and the activity of DD-endopeptidases needs to be tightly regulated to maintain cell wall ...

Hypothalamic CREB Regulates the Expression of Pomc-Processing Enzyme Pcsk2

Cells, 2022
Background: The hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (Pomc) neurons act as first-order sensors of systemic energy stores, providing signals that regulate caloric intake and energy expenditure.

Matrix metalloproteinases: A double edge sword

Dentistry and Medical Research, 2016
Dental caries is a dynamic process which results in demineralization of inorganic constituents and destruction of organic structure of the tooth. The basic mechanism of inorganic demineralization has been studied and documented well enough.

Distinct Amino Acid Availability-Dependent Regulatory Mechanisms of MepS and MepM Levels in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolases play important roles in various aspects of bacterial physiology, including cytokinesis, PG synthesis, quality control of PG, PG recycling, and antibiotic resistance. However, the regulatory mechanisms of their expression are

Presence and expression of hydrogenase specific C-terminal endopeptidases in cyanobacteria

BMC Microbiology, 2003
Background Hydrogenases catalyze the simplest of all chemical reactions: the reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen or vice versa. Cyanobacteria can express an uptake, a bidirectional or both NiFe-hydrogenases.
