By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

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 SaeRS two-component system regulates virulence gene expression in group B Streptococcus during invasive infection

mBio
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a pathobiont responsible for invasive infections in neonates and the elderly. The transition from a commensal to an invasive pathogen relies on the timely regulation of virulence factors. In this study, we characterized the

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND STUDY THE EFFECT OF (3,5-DIMETHYL-1H-PYRAZOL-4- YL) MERCURY (II) CHLORIDE ON GROWTH INHIBITION OF SOME BACTERIA ,YEAST AND SOME FUNGI (IN VITRO). [PDF]

Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research, 2008
The reaction of 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole with mercury (II)acetate in absolute methanol gave (3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) mercury(II) chloride (DMPMC), which characterized by microanalysis, 1H, and 13C-NMR and IR.

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Architecture and assembly of the Gram-positive cell wall [PDF]

, 2013
The bacterial cell wall is a mesh polymer of peptidoglycan – linear glycan strands cross-linked by flexible peptides – that determines cell shape and provides physical protection.
