Using groEL as the target for identification of Enterococcus faecium clades and 7 clinically relevant Enterococcus species

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Background/Purpose: Accurate identification is important for effective treatment because Enterococcus species have talents to cope with various antibiotics either by intrinsic resistance or by acquisition of mobile genetic elements.

Genetic variation, phylogenetic relationship and spatial distribution of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi’ strains in Germany

Scientific Reports, 2020
A recent survey in Germany revealed the wide presence of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ulmi’ in native elm stands. Accessions were studied for their genetic variability and phylogenetic relationship based on the conserved groEL and the variable imp gene. While

Evaluation and Characterization of the Insecticidal Activity and Synergistic Effects of Different GroEL Proteins from Bacteria Associated with Entomopathogenic Nematodes on Galleria mellonella

Toxins, 2023
GroEL is a chaperonin that helps other proteins fold correctly. However, alternative activities, such as acting as an insect toxin, have also been discovered.

Dose, exposure time, and resolution in Serial X-ray Crystallography

, 2007
The resolution of X-ray diffraction microscopy is limited by the maximum dose that can be delivered prior to sample damage. In the proposed Serial Crystallography method, the damage problem is addressed by distributing the total dose over many identical ...

Protein sorting to mitochondria [PDF]

, 1990
According to the endosymbiont hypothesis, mitochondria have lost the autonomy of their prokaryotic ancestors. They have to import most of their proteins from the cytosol because the mitochondrial genome codes for only a small percentage of the ...

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

GroEL Secreted from Bacillus subtilis Natto Exerted a Crucial Role for Anti-Inflammatory IL-10 Induction in THP-1 Cells

Microorganisms, 2023
Although diverse immunomodulatory reactions of probiotic bacteria have been reported, this effect via Bacillus subtilis natto remains unclear, despite its long consumption history in Japan and usage in Natto production.

The Unfolding Action of GroEL on a Protein Substrate [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2004
A molecular dynamics simulation of the active unfolding of denatured rhodanese by the chaperone GroEL is presented. The compact denatured protein is bound initially to the cis cavity and forms stable contacts with several of the subunits. As the cis ring apical domains of GroEL undergo the transition from the closed to the more open (ATP-bound) state ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Revealing taxonomy, activity, and substrate assimilation in mixed bacterial communities by GroEL-proteotyping-based stable isotope probing

iScience
Summary: Protein-based stable isotope probing (protein-SIP) can link microbial taxa to substrate assimilation. Traditionally, protein-SIP requires a sample-specific metagenome-derived database for samples with unknown composition. Here, we describe GroEL-
