Species-specificity of the BamA component of the bacterial outer membrane protein-assembly machinery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The BamA protein is the key component of the Bam complex, the assembly machinery for outer membrane proteins (OMP) in gram-negative bacteria. We previously demonstrated that BamA recognizes its OMP substrates in a species-specific manner in vitro.

Post‐Translational Modifications in Cilia and Ciliopathies

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 31, August 21, 2025.
This review synthesizes current understanding of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in ciliary proteins and emphasizes their roles in ciliary formation, homeostasis, and signaling. This review also discusses the implication of PTM dysregulation in ciliopathies and explores therapeutic strategies targeting PTM‐modifying enzymes.

Organism resembling Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1987
A problem isolate resembling Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis is reported. Growth and biochemical characteristics indicated the organism to be N. meningitidis, whereas serological characteristics indicated it to be N. gonorrhoeae. This vaginal isolate may be a genetically transformed gonococcus with the ability to utilize maltose ...
