Synthetic mRNA delivered to human cells leads to expression of Cpl-1 bacteriophage-endolysin with activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded hydrolases that show high antibacterial activity and a narrow substrate spectrum. We hypothesize that an mRNA-based approach to endolysin therapy can overcome some challenges of conventional endolysin therapy, namely ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Cross‐protective effect of a multicomponent fusion protein vaccine during a natural episode of Streptococcus zooepidemicus respiratory disease in ponies

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus is a highly diverse opportunistic pathogen of horses, associated with respiratory disease and endometritis. Objectives To characterise S. zooepidemicus isolates recovered from young ponies during a natural episode of respiratory disease, and to determine if vaccination with Strangvac®, a ...

Novel M23 peptidases Pgp4, Pgp5, and Pgp6 contribute to helical cell shape in Campylobacter jejuni

Frontiers in Microbiology
The helical morphology of Campylobacter jejuni is maintained by its peptidoglycan (PG) layer and influences its success as a pathogen. Periplasmic PG hydrolases that cleave the PG glycan backbone and peptide sidechains (such as carboxypeptidases and ...

Microbial Interventions in Processing of Plant Based Proteins: Unlocking Extraction Dynamics and Functionality for Human Health

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Fermentation enhances nutritional & techno‐functional properties of plant protein. Three distinct stages of fermentation impact on different aspects of plant protein. Fermentation induces flavors modulation through new organic compounds formation. Plant protein fermentation improves their utility in food applications.

Structural homologies, importance for catalysis and lipid binding of the N-terminal peptide of a fungal and a pancreatic lipase [PDF]

, 2010
Lipases share an overall alpha/beta hydrolase fold structure characteristic of serine hydrolases. Nevertheless, each lipases group possesses its characteristic 3-D structure and catalytic properties.

Modifications of β-glucuronidase as a reporter gene for protein sorting in saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 1989
Several carboxypeptidase Y-/3-glucuronidase (CPY-GUS) plasmids were expressed in yeast. The CPY-GUS fusion proteins were inactivated during passage through the secretory pathway. This work was done in an attempt to recover GUS activity in yeast.
