Advances in genetic manipulation of obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2011 Infections by obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens result in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. These bacteria include Chlamydia spp., which causes millions of cases of sexually transmitted disease and blinding trachoma annually, and ...

Genetic Transformation in Proteus mirabilis [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1971 SUMMARY: A method is described for the isolation of biologically active DNA from Proteus mirabilis strain 13 which could transform auxotrophic mutants of P. mirabilis to prototrophy. This DNA preparation did not transform similar mutants of P. vulgaris.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.PARP‐1 is a key enzyme in the DNA damage response, and its inhibition induces cancer cell death via synthetic lethality. Au(I)‐based drugs, such as aurothioglucose and sodium aurothiomalate, block PARP‐1's DNA‐dependent activity by targeting its zinc finger domains.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

The AnUFGT1 Is Involved in the Anthurium ‘Alabama’ Anthocyanidin Deficiency
HorticulturaeAnthurium is the second largest tropical flower crop in the world. The international market has urgent demand for anthurium varieties with different spathe colors, which mainly arises from the types and contents of anthocyanin.

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2016 Guava wilt disease is a severe threat to guava growers all over the world. It is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. psidii. To control the disease, the Trichoderma-endochitinase gene was first introgressed into guava (Psidium ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

PlantsThe CYP78A gene family, a plant-specific subfamily of cytochrome P450 enzymes, plays pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Although the CYP78A genes in many plants have been widely studied, little is known about them in Lycium.
