Genome sequencing and analysis of a type A Clostridium perfringens isolate from a case of bovine clostridial abomasitis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Clostridium perfringens is a common inhabitant of the avian and mammalian gastrointestinal tracts and can behave commensally or pathogenically. Some enteric diseases caused by type A C.

Membrane Repair Mechanisms against Permeabilization by Pore-Forming Toxins [PDF]
, 2018 Permeabilization of the plasma membrane represents an important threat for any cell, since it compromises its viability by disrupting cell homeostasis.

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 46, December 11, 2024.Upon the invasion of Listeria monocytogenes into a host cell, the primary virulence factor, listeriolysin O (LLO), secreted by the bacterium, has the capacity to breach the mitochondrial membrane, thereby gaining access to the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). The interaction between LLO and Mic60 can induce significant changes in the architecture of

Toxins, 2018 The largest superfamily of bacterial virulence factors is pore-forming toxins (PFTs). PFTs are secreted by both pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. PFTs sometimes kill or induce pro-pathogen signaling in mammalian cells, all primarily through plasma ...

An upstream regulatory sequence stimulates expression of the perfringolysin O gene of Clostridium perfringens [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1991 The structural gene for perfringolysin O (pfoA), a thiol-activated hemolysin of Clostridium perfringens, was cloned into Escherichia coli JM109 on a 4.6-kilobase (kb) EcoRI-NdeI fragment which contained the 1.7-kb pfoA gene and an upstream 2.9-kb region. An E.

Matching Together Living Cells and Prototissues: Will There Be Chemistry?
ChemBioChem, Volume 25, Issue 18, September 16, 2024.In the field of tissue engineering, the combination of synthetic and living tissues could be the turning point. In this work we review examples of hybrid protocell/living cell and prototissue/living cell systems, focusing on the chemistry that makes the integration between non‐living and living matter efficient.

Cellular IP6 Levels Limit HIV Production while Viruses that Cannot Efficiently Package IP6 Are Attenuated for Infection and Replication [PDF]
, 2019 Summary: HIV-1 hijacks host proteins to promote infection. Here we show that HIV is also dependent upon the host metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) for viral production and primary cell replication.

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, Page 357-371, September 2024.Our study investigates the influence of extracellular vesicles, released by two bacterial species of the human cervicovaginal microbiome, on the infection by Trichomonas vaginalis. We described species‐specific protein cargoes of these vesicles matching the expected contribution of the bacteria to this biome.

ToxinsBy producing alpha toxin (PLC) and perfringolysin O (PFO), Clostridium perfringens type A strains are the most common cause of traumatic gas gangrene. C. perfringens cannot synthesize branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), so BCAA transporters are essential
