ROLE OF METACASPASE IN MALARIA TRANSMISSION BIOLOGY

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: A family of apicomplexan-specific proteins contains caspases–like proteins called “metacaspases”. These enzymes are present in the malaria parasite but absent in human, therefore, these can be explored as potential drug targets to combat malaria ...

Systems biology of host–microbe metabolomics [PDF]

WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2015
The human gut microbiota performs essential functions for host and well‐being, but has also been linked to a variety of disease states, e.g., obesity and type 2 diabetes. The mammalian body fluid and tissue metabolomes are greatly influenced by the microbiota, with many health‐relevant metabolites being considered ‘mammalian–microbial co‐metabolites ...

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]

, 2009
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.

Epibiosis in decapod crustaceans by stalked barnacle Octolasmis lowei (Cirripedia: Poecilasmatidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2013
Stalked barnacles Octolasmis lowei Darwin, 1851 are frequently found attached to decapod crustaceans. Their epibiotic association depends on many factors, which are mainly related to characteristics of the host's biology.

Exploring differentially expressed genes of S taphylococcus aureus exposed to human tonsillar cells using RNA sequencing

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background The nose and the throat are the most predominant colonizing sites of Staphylococcus aureus, and colonization is a risk factor for infection. Nasal colonization is well described; however, we have limited knowledge about S.

Viral Hijack of Filamentous Surface Structures in Archaea and Bacteria

Viruses, 2021
The bacterial and archaeal cell surface is decorated with filamentous surface structures that are used for different functions, such as motility, DNA exchange and biofilm formation. Viruses hijack these structures and use them to ride to the cell surface

Chlamydial infection from outside to inside [PDF]

, 2019
Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria, characterized by a unique biphasic developmental cycle. Specific interactions with the host cell are crucial for the bacteria's survival and amplification because of the reduced chlamydial genome.

The nucleotide specificity of succinyl‐CoA synthetase of Plasmodium falciparum is not determined by charged gatekeeper residues alone

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
Substrate specificity of an enzyme is an important characteristic of its mechanism of action. Investigation of the nucleotide specificity of Plasmodium falciparum succinyl‐CoA synthetase (SCS; PfSCS) would provide crucial insights of its substrate ...
