Deciphering the genetic network and programmed regulation of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria is an important global health problem affecting humans, animals, and the environment. AMR is considered as one of the major components in the “global one health”.

LD‐transpeptidases: the great unknown among the peptidoglycan cross‐linkers

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 16, Page 4718-4730, August 2022., 2022
Peptidoglycan cross‐linking enzymes LD‐transpeptidases (LDTs) have kept an aura of mystery for a long time. However, a number of recent reports have linked the activity of LDTs to cell wall adaptation to stress including β‐lactam antibiotics, outer membrane stability, and toxin delivery.

Gp05, a Prophage-Encoded Virulence Factor, Contributes to Persistent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Endovascular Infection

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) endovascular infections represent a serious public health threat. We recently demonstrated that the presence of a novel prophage ϕSA169 was associated with vancomycin (VAN) treatment failure ...

Cytolysin A‐mediated protein exportation efficiency and its role in enhancing the fitness of live recombinant Salmonella Typhi vaccine strain

open access: yesLetters in Applied Microbiology, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 820-830, May 2022., 2022
Significance and Impact of the Study: Gram‐negative bacteria secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) with immunostimulatory properties and proteoliposome nanostructures, making it highly immunogenic for protein delivery. The fusion of heterologous antigen to cytolysin A (clyA) has proven to direct protein translocation into periplasmic space and ...

Determination of (p)ppGpp Levels During Stringent Response in Streptomyces coelicolor by Thin Layer Chromatography

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2016
The stringent response in bacteria is a stress response that is mediated by the signaling molecules guanosine tetraphosphate and pentaphosphate [(p)ppGpp], alarmones that are also directly related to virulence. Therefore, determination of (p)ppGpp levels

Synthesis of guanosine tetra- and pentaphosphates by the obligately anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in response to molecular oxygen [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1979
Guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine 5'-triphosphate 3'-diphosphate (pppGpp) were detected in formic acid extracts of air-exposed culutres of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The identification of ppGpp and pppGpp in B. thetaiotaomicron was based on the following results: (i) cochromatography of 32P-labeled hyperphosphorylated ...

SpoT Induces Intracellular Salmonella Virulence Programs in the Phagosome

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp), together named (p)ppGpp, regulate diverse aspects of Salmonella pathogenesis, including synthesis of nutrients, resistance to inflammatory mediators, and expression of secretion ...

A guanosine 5′-triphosphate-dependent protein kinase is localized in the outer envelope membrane of pea chloroplasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
A guanosine 5-triphosphate (GTP)-dependent protein kinase was detected in preparations of outer chloroplast envelope membranes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts.

Studies on the Control of Development. Accumulation of Guanosine Tetraphosphate and Pentaphosphate in Response to Inhibition of Protein Synthesis in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1975
Bacillus subtilis cells accumulate unusual phosphorylated substances at the end of logarithmic growth in a semi-synthetic medium. Two of these substances are guanosine 3'(2')-diphosphate 5'-diphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine 3'(2')-diphosphate 5'-triohosphate (pppGpp) which, in contrast to amino-acid-starved Escherichia coli cells, are not degraded in ...

The stringent response regulator (p) ppGpp mediates virulence gene expression and survival in Erwinia amylovora

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background The nucleotide second messengers, i.e., guanosine tetraphosphate and pentaphosphate [collectively referred to as (p) ppGpp], trigger the stringent response under nutrient starvation conditions and play an essential role in virulence in the ...
