Seeligeriolysin O, a Cholesterol-Dependent Cytolysin of Listeria seeligeri, Induces Gamma Interferon from Spleen Cells of Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Seeligeriolysin O (LSO), one of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysins produced by Listeria seeligeri, shows 80% homology to listeriolysin O (LLO) produced by Listeria monocytogenes at the amino acid sequence level.

A Multiorgan Trafficking Circuit Provides Purifying Selection of Listeria monocytogenes Virulence Genes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Listeria monocytogenes can cause a life-threatening illness when the foodborne pathogen spreads beyond the intestinal tract to distant organs. Many aspects of the intestinal phase of L. monocytogenes pathogenesis remain unknown.

High‐Resolution Patterned Delivery of Chemical Signals From 3D‐Printed Picoliter Droplet Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 28, July 17, 2025.
3D‐printed picoliter droplet networks have been fabricated that control gene expression in bacterial populations by releasing chemical signals with precise spatial definition and high temporal resolution. This system of effector release is widely applicable, offering diverse applications in biology and medicine.

Comment on ‘Orthogonal lipid sensors identify transbilayer asymmetry of plasma membrane cholesterol’

open access: yeseLife, 2018
The plasma membrane in mammalian cells is rich in cholesterol, but how the cholesterol is partitioned between the two leaflets of the plasma membrane remains a matter of debate. Recently, Liu et al. used domain 4 (D4) of perfringolysin O as a cholesterol

Contribution of Histidine Residues to Oligomerization of θ-Toxin (Perfringolysin O), a Cholesterol-Binding Cytolysin [PDF]

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1999
Theta-toxin (perfringolysin O) modified by diethyl pyrocarbonate, a histidine-specific reagent, lost its hemolytic activity. The modified toxin retains the activities of binding to and insertion into cholesterol-containing membranes but lacks the ability to form oligomers.

Light‐Triggered Protease‐Mediated Release of Actin‐Bound Cargo from Synthetic Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
TEV Prtoease‐mediated Releasable Actin‐binding Protein (TRAP) is a protein‐based platform consisting of a cargo tightly bound to reconstituted actin networks in synthetic cells which can be proteolyticly released from the bound actin, followed by its secretion through membrane translocation mediated by a cell‐penetrating peptide.

Genomic Insights into Virulence Factors and Multi-Drug Resistance in Clostridium perfringens IRMC2505A

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming, Gram-positive anaerobic pathogen that causes several disorders in humans and animals. A multidrug-resistant Clostridium strain was isolated from the fecal sample of a patient who was clinically suspected of ...

Modular Calcium‐Responsive and CD9‐Targeted Phospholipase System Enhancing Endosomal Escape for DNA Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 15, April 17, 2025.
A modular endosomal escape system boosts transfection efficiency of a DNA delivery agent. This system comprises a phospholipase fused to a split‐calbindin domain and a nanobody targeting CD9. In the extracellular space, the phospholipase is tightly bound to protein‐DNA complexes, released within endosomes at low calcium concentrations and recruited to ...

Nonclinical Development of BCG Replacement Vaccine Candidates

open access: yesVaccines, 2013
The failure of current Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccines, given to neonates to protect against adult tuberculosis and the risk of using these live vaccines in HIV-infected infants, has emphasized the need for generating new, more
