Group A Streptococcus interacts with glycosaminoglycans via M proteins to modulate bacterial adherence in vitro. [PDF]
FEBS JInteractions between bacteria and the extracellular matrix are a prerequisite for colonisation and infection. Phylogenetically diverse M proteins of group A Streptococcus (GAS) can selectively bind sulfated glycosaminoglycans with high affinity. M protein‐mediated recruitment of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate was shown to increase GAS ...

Discovery of New RR Lyrae Stars in the Center of the Globular Cluster M53 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 We report the discovery of 17 new RR Lyrae variables in the central region (r≤1’) of the globular cluster M53. There candidates were identified by using the Welch & Stetson (1993) technique and confirmed by checking individual light curves in both B and ...

Fibrinogen-binding M-related proteins facilitate the recruitment of plasminogen by Streptococcus pyogenes. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Group A Streptococcus (GAS) M‐related proteins (Mrp) are dimeric α‐helical coiled‐coil cell‐wall‐attached proteins. During infection, Mrp recruit human fibrinogen (Fg) to the bacterial surface, enhancing phagocytosis resistance and promoting growth in human blood.

Light Element Abundances and Multiple Populations in M53 [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2021 Abstract We present results from a study of 94 red giant stars in the globular cluster M53. We use low-resolution spectra to measure the strength of CN and CH features at ∼3800 and 4300 Å, respectively. The strengths of these features are used to classify stars into a CN-enhanced and CN-normal population and to measure C and N abundances

Contrasting Habitat Use at the Range Edge of an Endangered Grassland Specialist: Insights Into Plains-Wanderer (<i>Pedionomus torquatus</i>) Habitat Use in a Periphery Population. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHabitat use at the range periphery of an endangered, Australian endemic bird was found to differ from key habitat described in the core range. Our study identifies the long‐held notion that Plains‐wanderers are exclusively ‘grassland specialists’ should be broadened to incorporate low forb‐like chenopod shrublands. Notably, despite these differences in
