The extracytoplasmic linker peptide of the sensor protein SaeS tunes the kinase activity required for staphylococcal virulence in response to host signals.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Bacterial pathogens often employ two-component systems (TCSs), typically consisting of a sensor kinase and a response regulator, to control expression of a set of virulence genes in response to changing host environments.

Synthesis, Cytotoxicity, and Apoptosis‐Associated Cell Death Activity of an Isatin‐Containing Pyrimidine‐Derived Cu(II) Complex

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Cu(II) complex derived from a pyrimidine with the isatin group was synthesized and tested for its cytotoxic effects on A549 lung cancer and MCF‐7 breast cancer cell lines, as well as its effects on apoptosis‐associated cell death and cell cycle regulation in A549 cells. To evaluate cytotoxicity, MTT assays were performed at 24, 48, and 72 h,

Calcium, methyl jasmonate and their combined foliar applications: Influence on Tempranillo grape amino acids composition over two seasons

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change is currently affecting chemical grape composition and, consequently, grape quality. The foliar application of biostimulants has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate these effects. This study investigated the effects of foliar applications of calcium (Ca), methyl jasmonate (MeJ), and their combination (Ca + MeJ)

Polyphenol dietary supplementation prevents inflammation‐induced muscle atrophy in a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diet‐induced inflammation is a major cause of muscle degeneration impacting human and animal health. Owing to their anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties, polyphenols have attracted considerable interest as feed additives.

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Hydroxamic Acids as HDAC Inhibitor Drug Leads for Malaria

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a global health threat, with an estimated 282 million cases and 610,000 malaria‐associated deaths reported in 2024. Most mortality is due to infection by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, with the highest burden occurring in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

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 ...

Allosteric coupling activation mechanism in histidine kinases

Scientific Reports
Histidine kinases (HKs) are crucial regulators of cellular functions, mediating the phosphorylation of specific proteins to modulate their activity and localization. Upon signal detection, HKs transfer a phosphate group from ATP to a conserved histidine residue within their Dimerization and Histidine phosphotransfer domain, subsequently passing the ...
