Investigation of singlet‐oxygen‐responsive genes in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Singlet oxygen (1O2) is an important reactive oxygen species whose formation by the type‐II, light‐dependent, photodynamic reaction is inevitable during photosynthetic processes. In the last decades, the recognition that 1O2 is not only a damaging agent, but can also affect gene expression and participates in signal transduction pathways has ...

Parvimonas micra can translocate from the subgingival sulcus of the human oral cavity to colorectal adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 1143-1173, May 2024.
Parvimonas micra can translocate from the oral cavity to the intestinal lumen, through the circulatory or gastrointestinal system, where the anaerobic bacteria undergoes some genome and transcriptomic changes needed for the adaptation to its new niche. P. micra can be considered as an excellent CRC biomarker detected in non‐invasive samples.

Phage lytic proteins: Biotechnological applications beyond clinical antimicrobials [PDF]

, 2017
Most bacteriophages encode two types of cell wall lytic proteins: endolysins (lysins) and virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases. Both enzymes have the ability to degrade the peptidoglycan of Gram-positive bacteria resulting in cell lysis when they ...

Murein-metabolizing enzymes from Escherichia coli: existence of a second lytic transglycosylase

Journal of Bacteriology, 1992
In addition to the soluble lytic transglycosylase, a murein-metabolizing enzyme with a molecular mass of 70 kDa (Slt70), Escherichia coli possesses a second lytic transglycosylase, which has been described as a membrane-bound lytic transglycosylase (Mlt; 35 kDa; EC 3.2.1.-).
