How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

The “other” gram-negative bacteria in mastitis [PDF]

, 2012
Gram-negative bacteria are an important cause of bovine mastitis throughout the world. With the advance of our understanding of the main risk factors for classic contagious bacteria such Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus, we have ...

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Stopping an outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST111 by temporarily blocking the siphon to disinfect it before the transition to the wastewater drain

GMS Hygiene and Infection Control
Introduction: Resulting from an analysis of an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa, the siphons of washbasins in patient rooms were identified as source of colonizations and/or infections.

Anhydrobiotic Engineering of Gram-Negative Bacteria [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2000
ABSTRACT Anhydrobiotic engineering aims to improve desiccation tolerance in living organisms by adopting the strategies of anhydrobiosis. This was achieved for Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida by osmotic induction of intracellular trehalose synthesis and by drying from ...

Regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

, 2009
Bacteria are classified as Gram-positive or Gram-negative, depending on their cell wall structure. The role of the bacterial cell wall in immune regulation is the focus of the current work.

Gram-positive bacterial lipoglycans based on a glycosylated diacylglycerol lipid anchor are microbe-associated molecular patterns recognized by TLR2 [PDF]

, 2013
Innate immune recognition is the first line of host defense against invading microorganisms. It is a based on the detection, by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), of invariant molecular signatures that are unique to microorganisms.

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...
