A Bacterial Receptor PcrK Senses the Plant Hormone Cytokinin to Promote Adaptation to Oxidative Stress

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: Recognition of the host plant is a prerequisite for infection by pathogenic bacteria. However, how bacterial cells sense plant-derived stimuli, especially chemicals that function in regulating plant development, remains completely unknown. Here,

Bacterial nitrate assimilation: gene distribution and regulation [PDF]

, 2011
In the context of the global nitrogen cycle, the importance of inorganic nitrate for the nutrition and growth of marine and freshwater autotrophic phytoplankton has long been recognized.

Tissue‐specific and spatially dependent metabolic signatures perturbed by injury in male and female mice

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Osteoarthritis—the leading cause of disability worldwide—disproportionately affects females, yet sex remains an overlooked determinant. This disparity stems from sex‐specific differences in injury susceptibility—a major risk factor for disease.

Genistein inhibits protein histidine kinase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
Protein histidine kinase was prepared from whole cell extracts of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The enzyme was assayed using either histone H4 or a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 70 to 102 of histone H4 as an in vitro substrate. With either substrate, both genistein and its solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), inhibited protein ...

K2P channels and their protein partners. [PDF]

, 2005
A decade since their discovery, the K2P channels are recognized as pathways dedicated to regulated background leakage of potassium ions that serve to control neuronal excitability. The recent identification of protein partners that directly interact with

Optimization of CEST MRI Reporter Protein Design Using Cation‐Pi Networks

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A novel engineering approach can produce reporter proteins for cell and viral therapy tracking with unique magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signatures, detectable with chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). We discover how cation‐π interactions between amino acid groups can help us fine‐tune magnetic resonance properties for noninvasive ...

The Influence of Drosophila Spire and Myosin V During Mid‐Oogenesis Is Independent of Their Direct Interaction

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

Identification of an Important Orphan Histidine Kinase for the Initiation of Sporulation and Enterotoxin Production by Clostridium perfringens Type F Strain SM101

mBio, 2019
Clostridium perfringens type F strains cause a common human foodborne illness and many cases of nonfoodborne human gastrointestinal diseases. Sporulation plays two critical roles during type F enteric disease.

Development and in vitro evaluation of chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating Phoenix dactylifera L. (Ajwah) seed extract with supporting in silico molecular docking analysis

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract This research describes the engineering of chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) via ionic gelation to encapsulate Ajwah seed extract (ASE), repurposing a plant waste product for its documented antioxidant and anticancer potential. Physicochemical analysis confirmed the formation of stable nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameters between 152.3 and ...

Allosteric Activation of Bacterial Response Regulators: the Role of the Cognate Histidine Kinase Beyond Phosphorylation

mBio, 2014
Response regulators are proteins that undergo transient phosphorylation, connecting specific signals to adaptive responses. Remarkably, the molecular mechanism of response regulator activation remains elusive, largely because of the scarcity of ...
