Resistance to β-Lactams in Neisseria ssp Due to Chromosomally Encoded Penicillin-Binding Proteins

Antibiotics, 2016
Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are human pathogens that cause a variety of life-threatening systemic and local infections, such as meningitis or gonorrhoea.

The effect of MurM and a branched cell wall structure on penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Journal of Bacteriology
The aminoacyltransferase MurM is an important penicillin resistance determinant in Streptococcus pneumoniae. This enzyme attaches a serine or alanine to the side chain of lysine, the third residue of the pentapeptide of lipid II, resulting in branched ...

Subfamily-specific adaptations in the structures of two penicillin-binding proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Beta-lactam antibiotics target penicillin-binding proteins including several enzyme classes essential for bacterial cell-wall homeostasis. To better understand the functional and inhibitor-binding specificities of penicillin-binding proteins from the ...

Non-Beta-Lactamase-Producing Penicillin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium in a Clinical Setting

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1990
Six clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium highly resistant to penicillin are reported. These strains did not produce beta-lactamase and no plasmid DNA could be detected.

Novel Penicillin Analogues as Potential Antimicrobial Agents; Design, Synthesis and Docking Studies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A number of penicillin derivatives (4a-h) were synthesized by the condensation of 6-amino penicillinic acid (6-APA) with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as antimicrobial agents.

PBP4 Is Likely Involved in Cell Division of the Longitudinally Dividing Bacterium Candidatus Thiosymbion Oneisti

Antibiotics, 2021
Peptidoglycan (PG) is essential for bacterial survival and maintaining cell shape. The rod-shaped model bacterium Escherichia coli has a set of seven endopeptidases that remodel the PG during cell growth.

Identification of pneumococcal proteins that are functionally linked to penicillin‐binding protein 2b (PBP2b)

Molecular Microbiology, 2017
The oval shape of pneumococci results from a combination of septal and lateral peptidoglycan synthesis. The septal cross‐wall is synthesized by the divisome, while the elongasome drives cell elongation by inserting new peptidoglycan into the lateral cell

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding penicillin-binding proteins in β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae in Japan

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective β-Lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae is a common opportunistic pathogen of hospital- and community-acquired infections, harboring multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ftsI gene, which codes for penicillin ...

Cell density–dependent nuclear‐cytoplasmic shuttling of SETDB1 integrates with Hippo signaling to regulate YAP1‐mediated transcription

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At low cell density, SETDB1 and YAP1 accumulate in the nucleus. As cell density increases, the Hippo pathway is gradually activated, and SETDB1 is associated with increased YAP1 phosphorylation. At high cell density, phosphorylated YAP1 is sequestered in the cytoplasm, while SETDB1 becomes polyubiquitinated and degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome ...
