Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]

, 2016
peer-reviewedBacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Remote Control of Eukaryotic Gene Expression by a Modular Ultrasound‐Responsive RNA Toolkit

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A modular RNA‐based sonogenetic toolkit enables remote control of gene expression in eukaryotes by releasing small molecule modulators from ultrasound‐responsive carriers. These modulators activate engineered mRNA elements such as riboswitches, leading to tunable protein expression.

Emergence of Staphylococcus aureus Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides Nisin, NZ2114 and Bacitracin Involves Multiple Phenotypic Changes

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The AMP‐induced mutant Staphylococcus aureus strain nzR showed increased resistance, five gene mutations, and decreased surface anion levels. AMPs affect the NDH‐2 protein encoded by ndh gene inhibiting the growth of S. aureus. The deletion of the ndh gene promotes the development of AMPs resistance.

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]

, 2016
The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.

Activity‐enhancing mutations in an LmrR‐based artificial metalloenzyme destabilize the protein scaffold and alter its conformational plasticity

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArM) hold great potential for the sustainable catalysis of complex new‐to‐nature reactions. To efficiently improve the catalytic efficacy of ArMs a rational approach is desirable, requiring detailed molecular insight into their conformational landscape.
