CadC-mediated activation of the cadBA promoter in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The transcriptional activator CadC in Escherichia coli, a member of the ToxR-like proteins, activates transcription of the cadBA operon encoding the lysine decarboxylase CadA and the lysine-cadaverine antiporter CadB. cadBA is induced under conditions of

SmallTalk: a novel small‐sized fusion tag for peptide expression and purification
The SmallTalk fusion tag allows for the efficient expression and purification of soluble recombinant proteins or peptides in Escherichia coli. Testing with SmallTalk‐GFP confirmed that the proteins were soluble and folded correctly, while SmallTalk‐Bin1b maintained its antimicrobial activity against various bacterial isolates. This streamlined workflow

PhoU homologs from Staphylococcus aureus dimerization and protein interactions
PhoU proteins are negative regulators of the phosphate response, regulate virulence, and contribute to antibiotic resistance. Staphylococcus aureus has multiple genes encoding PhoU homologs that regulate persister formation and potentially virulence, but

Universal Stress Proteins inEscherichia coli [PDF]
Multiple members of the UspA family of proteins are found in the genomes of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and plants, but the biological and biochemical functions of these proteins are not known. In this issue of Journal of Bacteriology, Nachin et al.

Modeling reaction-diffusion of molecules on surface and in volume spaces with the E-Cell System [PDF]
The-Cell System is an advanced open-source simulation platform to model and analyze biochemical reaction networks. The present algorithm modules of the system assume that the reacting molecules are all homogeneously distributed in the reaction ...

A P-type ATPase importer that discriminates between essential and toxic transition metals [PDF]
Transition metals, although being essential cofactors in many physiological processes, are toxic at elevated concentrations. Among the membrane-embedded transport proteins that maintain appropriate intracellular levels of transition metals are ATP-driven

dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Cytosolic redox components regulate protein homeostasis via additional localisation in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]
Oxidative protein folding is confined to the bacterial periplasm, endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Maintaining a redox balance requires the presence of reductive pathways.
