Relatedness of Streptococcus suis isolates of various serotypes and clinical backgrounds as evaluated by macrorestriction analysis and expression of potential virulence traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We evaluated the genetic diversity of Streptococcus suis isolates of different serotypes by macrorestriction analysis and elucidated possible relationships between the genetic background, expression of potential virulence traits, and source of isolation.

A simple method to make, trap and deform a vesicle in a gel

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
We present a simple method to produce giant lipid pseudo-vesicles (vesicles with an oily cap on the top), trapped in an agarose gel. The method can be implemented using only a regular micropipette and relies on the formation of a water/oil/water double ...

Conserved Omp85 lid-lock structure and substrate recognition in FhaC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Omp85 proteins mediate translocation of polypeptide substrates across and into cellular membranes. They share a common architecture comprising substrate-interacting POTRA domains, a C-terminal 16-stranded β-barrel pore and two signature motifs located on

Separately or combined, LukG/LukH is functionally unique compared to other staphylococcal bicomponent leukotoxins.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that elaborates several exotoxins. Among these are the bicomponent leukotoxins (BCLs), which include γ-hemolysin, Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), and LukDE.

A Lipid Bilayer Formed on a Hydrogel Bead for Single Ion Channel Recordings

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Ion channel proteins play important roles in various cell functions, making them attractive drug targets. Artificial lipid bilayer recording is a technique used to measure the ion transport activities of channel proteins with high sensitivity and ...

SINGLE-MOLECULE DETECTION AND MANIPULATION WITH BIOLOGICAL NANOPORES

open access: yesStudia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Chemia, 2021
Single-molecule electrophysiology techniques using protein-based or solid-state nanopores as nanoreactors were proven incredibly useful as platforms for sensing and biophysical characterisation of biological molecules (e.g., peptides, proteins), DNA ...

THE PROTEIN ASSOCIATED WITH HEMOLYSIN IN RABBIT SERUM AND PLASMA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 1927
1. The water-insoluble globulin with which hemolysin is associated, may be separated from immune serum or plasma by dilution and simple dialysis at optimal pH. 2. This optimum in plasma is influenced by the presence of the fibrinogen. 3.

Use of a recombinant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain expressing C-Raf for protection against C-Raf induced lung adenoma in mice

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2005
Background Serine-threonine kinases of the Raf family (A-Raf, B-Raf, C-Raf) are central players in cellular signal transduction, and thus often causally involved in the development of cancer when mutated or over-expressed.

Single-Molecule Study of Proteins by Biological Nanopore Sensors

open access: yesSensors, 2014
Nanopore technology has been developed for detecting properties of proteins through monitoring of ionic current modulations as protein passes via a nanosize pore.

Synthesized Geopolymers Adsorb Bacterial Proteins, Toxins, and Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Pore-forming and hemolytic toxins are bacterial cytotoxic proteins required for virulence in many pathogens, including staphylococci and streptococci, and are notably associated with clinical manifestations of disease.
