Nonlinear Protein Degradation and the Function of Genetic Circuits
, 2005 The functions of most genetic circuits require sufficient degrees of cooperativity in the circuit components. While mechanisms of cooperativity have been studied most extensively in the context of transcriptional initiation control, cooperativity from ...

A Bacterial Sulfotransferase Catalyzes an Unusual Di‐Sulfation in Natural Products Biosynthesis
ChemBioChem, EarlyView.Herein, a unique sulfotransferase, AdpST, is identified from the adp biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) in Streptomyces davaonensis DSM101723 and demonstrates that AdpST possesses di‐sulfation activity, which is unprecedented for bacterial phosphoadenosine‐5’‐phosphosulfate (PAPS)‐dependent sulfotransferases. It is further shown that the adp BGC contains

LYSOGENY AND LYSOSENSITIVITY IN SALMONELLA STRAINS
Agricultura, 2017 Bacteriophages are viruses pathogenic to bacteria, that is, “bacteria eaters”. The results of the activity of the phage to bacterial cells manifests itself through the following phenomena: (a) The bacterial cell is lysosensitive (it allows the phage to ...

Diversity and Host Interactions among Virulent and Temperate Baltic Sea Flavobacterium Phages
Viruses, 2020 Viruses in aquatic environments play a key role in microbial population dynamics and nutrient cycling. In particular, bacteria of the phylum Bacteriodetes are known to participate in recycling algal blooms.

Soil Viruses: A New Hope. [PDF]
, 2019 As abundant members of microbial communities, viruses impact microbial mortality, carbon and nutrient cycling, and food web dynamics. Although most of our information about viral communities comes from marine systems, evidence is mounting to suggest that

A Thermostable Bacterial Metallohydrolase that Degrades Organophosphate Plasticizers
ChemBioChem, EarlyView.This bacterial enzyme, cyclase‐phosphotriesterase (C‐PTE) from Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3, shows significant potential for breaking down organophosphate pollutants. Beyond its capability to hydrolyze specific plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2‐chloropropyl) phosphate, C‐PTE's crystal structure reveals a binuclear zinc active site, and it ...

Mathematical Modeling of CRISPR-CAS system effects on biofilm formation [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), linked with CRISPR associated (CAS) genes, play a profound role in the interactions between phage and their bacterial hosts. It is now well understood that CRISPR-CAS systems can confer adaptive immunity against bacteriophage infections.

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.Targeted genome mining identified thermostable enzymes (PETases) that hydrolyze the commonly used plastic polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thermostable enzymes are identified from thermophilic microbial sources. Experimental results reveal enzymatic activity on authentic PET films, highlighting potential for industrial application.
