Transition of the genital mollicutes from the second to the third trimester of pregnancy and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM women: a prospective, single-center cohort study from China [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground The association of genital Mollicutes infection transition with adverse pregnancy outcomes was insignificant among general pregnant women, but there remains a paucity of evidence linking this relationship in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)

Comparative genomic analysis of mollicutes with and without a chaperonin system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The GroE chaperonin system, which comprises GroEL and GroES, assists protein folding in vivo and in vitro. It is conserved in all prokaryotes except in most, but not all, members of the class of mollicutes.

Extracellular vesicles of minimalistic Mollicutes as mediators of immune modulation and horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Communications BiologyExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are central components of bacterial secretomes, including the small, cell wall-less Mollicutes. Although EV release in Mollicutes has been reported, EV proteomic composition and function have not been explored yet.

Dihydrouridine synthesis in tRNAs is under reductive evolution in mollicutes
RNA Biology, 2021 Dihydrouridine (D) is a tRNA-modified base conserved throughout all kingdoms of life and assuming an important structural role. The conserved dihydrouridine synthases (Dus) carries out D-synthesis.

Molecular detection of urogenital mollicutes in patients with invasive malignant prostate tumor
Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2021 Background The etiology of prostate cancer (PCa) is multiple and complex. Among the causes recently cited are chronic infections engendered by microorganisms that often go unnoticed.

In search of essentiality: Mollicute-specific genes shared by twelve genomes [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007 Mollicutes are cell wall-less bacteria with a genome characterized by its small size. Chromosomal rearrangements help these organisms evade host immune surveillance and hence cause disease.

Multiple Origins and Specific Evolution of CRISPR/Cas9 Systems in Minimal Bacteria (Mollicutes)
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 CRISPR/Cas systems provide adaptive defense mechanisms against invading nucleic acids in prokaryotes. Because of its interest as a genetic tool, the Type II CRISPR/Cas9 system from Streptococcus pyogenes has been extensively studied. It includes the Cas9

Reductive Evolution and Diversification of C5-Uracil Methylation in the Nucleic Acids of Mollicutes
Biomolecules, 2020 The C5-methylation of uracil to form 5-methyluracil (m5U) is a ubiquitous base modification of nucleic acids. Four enzyme families have converged to catalyze this methylation using different chemical solutions.
