Transcriptional control of the H-NS antagonists LeuO and RcsB-BglJ in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The bacterial nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) H-NS is involved in the organization and compaction of the bacterial chromatin and acts as a global respressor, mainly of genes that have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer and that are related to ...

Std fimbriae-fucose interaction increases Salmonella-induced intestinal inflammation and prolongs colonization [PDF]
Author summary The intestinal epithelium is a crucial biological interface, interacting with both commensal and pathogenic microorganisms. It’s lined with heavily glycosylated proteins and glycolipids which can act as both attachment sites and energy ...

The strong enhancer element in the immediate early region of the human cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the herpesvirus group, was found to possess a strong transcription enhancer in the immediate early gene region. Co-transfection of enhancerless SV40 DNA with randomly fragmented HCMV DNA yielded two SV40-

Model for the non‐PTS utilization of manno‐oligosaccharides by Cellvibrio japonicus. The Mgp130A and EpiA enzymes are essential for the utilization of mannose residues. ABSTRACT Manno‐oligosaccharides and their metabolism play important roles in gut health, pharmaceutical development, and renewable chemical production.

Rhizobial motility preference in root colonization of Medicago truncatula
Summary Tunnel‐like infection thread (IT) structures support root colonization by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria in most legume species. These tip‐grown structures are key to directing rhizobia from root hairs to developing nodules, where they are hosted to fix nitrogen.

Laccases from lactic acid bacteria show cuprous oxidase activity and capture Cu(II) and Ag(I) ions
Abstract Several laccases derived from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) display specific structural features, such as two methionine residues at the entrance of the T1Cu center, and an extended C‐terminal end enriched in methionine and histidine. To investigate their functional roles, we engineered mutant variants of the laccase Pp4816 from Pediococcus ...

The CBRB regulon: Promoter dissection reveals novel insights into the CbrAB expression network in Pseudomonas putida [PDF]
CbrAB is a high ranked global regulatory system exclusive of the Pseudomonads that responds to carbon limiting conditions. It has become necessary to define the particular regulon of CbrB and discriminate it from the downstream cascades through other ...
