Epitopes of Immunoreactive Proteins of Streptococcus Agalactiae: Enolase, Inosine 5′-Monophosphate Dehydrogenase and Molecular Chaperone GroEL

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Three Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci, GBS) immunoreactive proteins: enolase (47.4 kDa), inosine 5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) (53 kDa) and molecular chaperone GroEL (57 kDa) were subjected to investigation.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

DnaK Functions as a Central Hub in the E. coli Chaperone Network

Cell Reports, 2012
Cellular chaperone networks prevent potentially toxic protein aggregation and ensure proteome integrity. Here, we used Escherichia coli as a model to understand the organization of these networks, focusing on the cooperation of the DnaK system with the ...

Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

A protein chaperone can stabilize the intein‐containing precursor to indirectly promote protein splicing

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Intervening proteins (inteins) interrupt host protein sequences and are removed by a self‐mediated protein splicing reaction. Inteins are abundant in the microbial world and are often found within essential genes involved in DNA replication, recombination, and repair.

Structural and functional insights into Pseudomonas aeruginosa ApaH, a diadenosine tetraphosphatase crucial for bacterial virulence

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a major cause of severe morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients and people with cystic fibrosis, largely due to the pathogen's ability to resist antibiotic treatment and to deploy multiple virulence strategies that promote persistence in the host.
