A Multifunctional β‐Defensin‐3 Mimetic Peptide Modulates Host–Biofilm Interactions and Reduces Bone Loss in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
BDMP, a peptide that can penetrate cells and tissues, offering antimicrobial and anti‐inflammatory effects, has been identified as a potential new therapy for periodontitis. ABSTRACT Aim This study evaluated the potential of a beta‐defensin‐3 mimetic peptide (BDMP), a synthetic cell‐penetrating peptide with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties,

Bacterial growth does require peptidoglycan hydrolases

Most bacteria surround their cytoplasmic membrane with a net-like, elastic heteropolymer, the peptidoglycan sacculus, to protect themselves from bursting due to the turgor and to maintain cell shape.

The Absence of E. coli Nucleoid‐Associated Protein FIS at Low Temperature Leads to an Adaptation Response That Causes a Shift Towards Genome Compaction in Small Rods

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Unlike the wild‐type BW25113, the fis null mutant is characterized by biphasic growth at 12°C. During the first phase of growth, the absence of FIS results in the formation of filaments with dispersed nucleoids. During the acclimation phase, the FIS Null Adaptation Response is activated that leads to an increase in cell division and nucleoid ...

Roles of PknB and CslA in Cell Wall Morphogenesis of Streptomyces

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Streptomyces grow by extending hyphal tips, a process regulated by polarisome complexes anchored by DivIVA. Using a genetic screen based on toxic DivIVA overproduction, we identified the kinase PknB as a key regulator of cell envelope construction.

Exploring thylakoid emergence: evolution of membrane biogenesis and photosystem II assembly in early‐diverging cyanobacteria

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Overview of the results. Phylogenetic analyses of 36 assembly factors of photosystem II (PSII) and 13 proteins involved in membrane dynamics summarized in Siebenaller & Schneider (2023) were performed to investigate the taxonomic distributions and structural differences between the thylakoid‐less Gloeobacterales and the Phycobacteria. Summary Thylakoid

Toll Like Receptor 4: A Potential Link Between Obesity and Metabolic Diseases

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological evidence shows that obesity increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, the mechanisms behind this connection remain underappreciated. The substantial impact of these disorders on global health has led to extensive research efforts aimed at identifying the pathophysiological links between them.
