The primary transcriptome of Neisseria meningitidis and its interaction with the RNA chaperone Hfq

Nucleic Acids Research, 2017
Neisseria meningitidis is a human commensal that can also cause life-threatening meningitis and septicemia. Despite growing evidence for RNA-based regulation in meningococci, their transcriptome structure and output of regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) are ...

Bacterial porin disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and sensitizes host cells to apoptosis [PDF]

, 2009
The bacterial PorB porin, an ATP-binding beta-barrel protein of pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoeae, triggers host cell apoptosis by an unknown mechanism. PorB is targeted to and imported by host cell mitochondria, causing the breakdown of the mitochondrial
