Optimal first-passage time in gene regulatory networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The inherent probabilistic nature of the biochemical reactions, and low copy number of species can lead to stochasticity in gene expression across identical cells. As a result, after induction of gene expression, the time at which a specific protein count is reached is stochastic as well.

Giant number fluctuations in microbial ecologies [PDF]

open access: yesJournal Theoretical Biology, Vol. 308, pp. 96-104 (2012), 2012
Statistical fluctuations in population sizes of microbes may be quite large depending on the nature of their underlying stochastic dynamics. For example, the variance of the population size of a microbe undergoing a pure birth process with unlimited resources is proportional to the square of its mean.

WhyD tailors surface polymers to prevent premature bacteriolysis and direct cell elongation in Streptococcus pneumoniae

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Penicillin and related antibiotics disrupt cell wall synthesis in bacteria causing the downstream misactivation of cell wall hydrolases called autolysins to induce cell lysis.

Differential Requirement for the Cell Wall Integrity Sensor Wsc1p in Diploids Versus Haploids

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
The primary role of the Cell Wall Integrity Pathway (CWI) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is monitoring the state of the cell wall in response to general life cycle stresses (growth and mating) and imposed stresses (temperature changes and chemicals). Of the

Activity Concentration Index Values for Concrete Multistory Residences in Greece Due to Fly Ash Addition in Cement

open access: yesEng, 2023
According to 2013/59/Euratom Directive, the activity concentration index (ACI) is required to be estimated for each building material that is of concern from a radiation protection point of view.

Interference of the Zika Virus E-Protein With the Membrane Attack Complex of the Complement System

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The complement system has developed different strategies to clear infections by several effector mechanisms, such as opsonization, which supports phagocytosis, attracting immune cells by C3 and C5 cleavage products, or direct killing of pathogens by the ...

The transcriptional regulator CtrA controls gene expression in Alphaproteobacteria phages: Evidence for a lytic deferment pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Pilitropic and flagellotropic phages adsorb to bacterial pili and flagella. These phages have long been used to investigate multiple aspects of bacterial physiology, such as the cell cycle control in the Caulobacterales. Targeting cellular appendages for

Isolation and Characterization of Shewanella Phage Thanatos Infecting and Lysing Shewanella oneidensis and Promoting Nascent Biofilm Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Species of the genus Shewanella are widespread in nature in various habitats, however, little is known about phages affecting Shewanella sp. Here, we report the isolation of phages from diverse freshwater environments that infect and lyse strains of ...
