Two Independent Pathways for Self-Recognition in Proteus Mirabilis Are Linked by Type VI-Dependent Export [PDF]

, 2013
Swarming colonies of the bacterium Proteus mirabilis are capable of self-recognition and territorial behavior. Swarms of independent P. mirabilis isolates can recognize each other as foreign and establish a visible boundary where they meet; in contrast ...

CRISPR/Cas9 Epigenome Editing Potential for Rare Imprinting Diseases: A Review

Cells, 2020
Imprinting diseases (IDs) are rare congenital disorders caused by aberrant dosages of imprinted genes. Rare IDs are comprised by a group of several distinct disorders that share a great deal of homology in terms of genetic etiologies and symptoms ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Transcriptome analyses reveal reduced hepatic lipid synthesis and accumulation in more feed efficient beef cattle [PDF]

, 2018
peer-reviewedThe genetic mechanisms controlling residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle are still largely unknown. Here we performed whole transcriptome analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and their functional roles in liver ...

Divergent developmental trajectories in two siblings with neuropathic mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) receiving conventional and novel enzyme replacement therapies: A case report

JIMD Reports, 2021
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome) is an X‐linked recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a mutation in the IDS gene and characterized by systemic accumulations of glycosaminoglycans.

Reciprocal Id Expression and Myelin Gene Regulation in Schwann Cells

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 1999
Id proteins are thought to act as dominant negative antagonists of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors that direct differentiation in various cell types. We found that Schwann cells express all four Id-family genes and that their transcript levels were reciprocally regulated in pairs during nerve maturation in vivo and cAMP-mediated ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Reprogramming of lysosomal gene expression by interleukin-4 and Stat6. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Lysosomes play important roles in multiple aspects of physiology, but the problem of how the transcription of lysosomal genes is coordinated remains incompletely understood.

Localization of the Usher syndrome type ID gene (Ush1D) to chromosome 10 [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 1996
The Usher syndromes (USH) are a group of autosomal recessive diseases characterized by progressive pigmentary retinopathy and sensorineural hearing loss. Five USH genes have been mapped and at least one additional gene is known to exist. By homozygosity mapping in a consanguineous family, a sixth USH gene has been localized.

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...
