Bacterial autolysins trim cell surface peptidoglycan to prevent detection by the Drosophila innate immune system

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Bacteria have to avoid recognition by the host immune system in order to establish a successful infection. Peptidoglycan, the principal constituent of virtually all bacterial surfaces, is a specific molecular signature recognized by dedicated host ...

Xv4-vrxv4: A New Gene-for-Gene Interaction Identified Between Xanthomonas campestris pv. Vesicatoria Race T3 and the Wild Tomato Relative Lycopersicon pennellii

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
Strains of tomato race 3 (T3) of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria elicit a hypersensitive response (HR) in leaves of Lycopersicon pennellii LA716.

Patterns of Bacterial Gene Movement [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2004
Lateral gene transfer has emerged as an important force in bacterial evolution. A substantial number of genes can be inserted into or deleted from genomes through the process of lateral transfer. In this study, we looked for atypical occurrence of genes among related organisms to detect laterally transferred genes.

The supragenic organization of glycoside hydrolase encoding genes reveals distinct strategies for carbohydrate utilization in bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are carbohydrate-active enzymes essential for many environmental (e.g., carbon cycling) and biotechnological (e.g., biofuels) processes.

VBCG: 20 validated bacterial core genes for phylogenomic analysis with high fidelity and resolution

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2023
Background Phylogenomic analysis has become an inseparable part of studies of bacterial diversity and evolution, and many different bacterial core genes have been collated and used for phylogenomic tree reconstruction.

Bacterial Genes Outnumber Archaeal Genes in Eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Abstract Eukaryotes are typically depicted as descendants of archaea, but their genomes are evolutionary chimeras with genes stemming from archaea and bacteria. Which prokaryotic heritage predominates? Here, we have clustered 19,050,992 protein sequences from 5,443 bacteria and 212 archaea with 3,420,731 protein sequences from 150 ...

Canine uterine bacterial infection induces upregulation of proteolysis-related genes and downregulation of homeobox and zinc finger factors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Bacterial infection with the severe complication of sepsis is a frequent and serious condition, being a major cause of death worldwide. To cope with the plethora of occurring bacterial infections there is therefore an urgent need to identify ...

Genes within Genes in Bacterial Genomes

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2018
ABSTRACT Genetic coding in bacteria largely operates via the “one gene-one protein” paradigm. However, the peculiarities of the mRNA structure, the versatility of the genetic code, and the dynamic nature of translation sometimes allow organisms to deviate from the standard rules of protein encoding.

RNA‐Seq for Bacterial Gene Expression [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry, 2018
AbstractRNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become the preferred method for global quantification of bacterial gene expression. With the continued improvements in sequencing technology and data analysis tools, the most labor‐intensive and expensive part of an RNA‐seq experiment is the preparation of sequencing libraries, which is also essential for the ...

Gene Location and Bacterial Sequence Divergence [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2002
Previous comparison of a relatively small set of homologous genes from Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium revealed that genes nearer to the origin of replication had substitution rates lower than genes closer to the replication terminus. The recently completed sequences of numerous bacterial genomes have allowed us to test whether this effect ...
