Peptidoglycan Synthesis and Rod Shape Maintenance in Mycobacteria

, 2019
Bacteria surround themselves with a cell wall whose foundation is a layer called peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a mesh of linear glycan strands that are linked together by short peptide side chains.

Structural and thermodynamic analyses of a novel β‐1,2‐glucan binding mode in the ABC transporter solute‐binding protein Chy400_4166 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cyclic β‐1,2‐glucan (CβG)‐associated solute‐binding protein of type I ABC transporter was originally identified in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a phototrophic bacterium. Crystal structures in complex with CβGs revealed unique binding modes that are fundamentally distinct from that of the short β‐1,2‐glucooligosaccharides‐binding protein.

Structural Analysis of a Specialized Type III Secretion System Peptidoglycan-cleaving Enzyme*

, 2015
Background: Bacterial virulence-associated type III secretion system (T3SS) assembly requires a dedicated enzyme to penetrate peptidoglycan (PG).Results: We structurally characterized a T3SS PG-lytic enzyme, identified catalytically important residues ...

Cryo‐EM structure of GH43 β‐Xylosidase from Enterobacter cloacae provides insights into substrate specificity and the role of an auxiliary domain in enzymatic activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Xylan, the second most abundant plant cell wall polysaccharide, is degraded by β‐xylanases and β‐xylosidases. Here, we present the 2.65 Å cryo‐EM structure of Enterobacter cloacae β‐xylosidase (EcXyl43, GH43) and the 2.4 Å X‐ray structure of its inactive F507A mutant.

Temperature, Disinfectant Concentration and Bacterial Innate Properties Influence the Disinfection of Bacterial Pathogens Relevant to Catfish Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture systems suffer a wide range of losses, mostly due to bacterial disease outbreaks, and the use of disinfectants is a routine practice for controlling the spread of pathogenic organisms globally. Including Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus agalactiae and Edwardsiella tarda, implicated for natural disease outbreaks and economic ...

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Nitric Oxide Tunes Secreted Metabolite Bioactivity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces phenazine metabolites that can react with nitric oxide (·NO) to form nitrosylated compounds. The formation of these metabolites results in rapid loss in P. aeruginosa viability and diminishes phenazine antimicrobial activity against other organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus. ABSTRACT The radical nitric oxide (·NO)

Gene Editing of Nicotiana benthamiana Architecture for Space‐Efficient Production of Recombinant Proteins in Closed Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...
