Repetitive N-WASP–binding elements of the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Effector EspFU Synergistically Activate Actin Assembly [PDF]
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) generate F-actin–rich adhesion pedestals by delivering effector proteins into mammalian cells. These effectors include the translocated receptor Tir, along with EspFU, a protein that associates indirectly with ...

Expression and Purification of the Arabidopsis E4 SUMO Ligases PIAL1 and PIAL2
The proteins PIAL1 (At1g08910) and PIAL2 (At5g41580) are members of the recently discovered group of plant E4 SUMO ligases. This protocol allows quick and simple expression of the recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli (E.

Crystal Structure of the Escherichia coli Fic Toxin-Like Protein in Complex with Its Cognate Antitoxin [PDF]
FIC domain proteins mediate post-translational modifications of target proteins, which typically results in their inactivation. Depending on the conservation of crucial active site residues, the FIC fold serves as structural scaffold for various ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

dnaX36 mutator of Escherichia coli: effects of the tau subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme on chromosomal DNA replication fidelity. [PDF]
The Escherichia coli dnaX36 mutant displays a mutator effect, reflecting a fidelity function of the dnaX-encoded τ subunit of the DNA polymerase III (Pol III) holoenzyme.

The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Isolation of Inner Membrane Vesicles from Escherichia coli by Using an Affinity Tag
This protocol was developed in a project aimed to identify the inner membrane proteins localizing to cell poles in Escherichia coli (E. coli). By using a known polar protein Tar as a tag, we isolated pole-derived inner membrane vesicles by affinity ...

Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell–cell interactions [PDF]
Variation of mutation rate at a particular site in a particular genotype, in other words mutation rate plasticity (MRP), can be caused by stress or ageing. However, mutation rate control by other factors is less well characterized.
