How bacterial cells and colonies move on solid substrates

, 2019
Many bacteria rely on active cell appendages, such as type IV pili, to move over substrates and interact with neighboring cells. Here, we study the motion of individual cells and bacterial colonies, mediated by the collective interactions of multiple ...

Lineage and Virulence of Streptococcus suis Serotype 2 Isolates from North America

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
We performed multilocus sequence typing of 64 North American Streptococcus suis serotype 2 porcine isolates. Strains were sequence type (ST) 28 (51%), ST25 (44%), and ST1 (5%).

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Identification of a system required for the functional surface localization of sugar binding proteins with class III signal peptides in Sulfolobus solfataricus [PDF]

, 2007
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus contains an unusual large number of sugar binding proteins that are synthesized as precursors with a class III signal peptide.

Day/night variations of myeloid and lymphoid cell subsets in the murine inguinal lymph node

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The circadian system is involved in the temporal regulation of the immune system. Our study reveals that two innate immune populations, NKT cells and neutrophils, predominate at the beginning of the day in healthy mice, highlighting how the time of day influences immune responses.

The Xanthomonas type IV pilus

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2016
Type IV pili, a special class of bacterial surface filaments, are key behavioral mediators for many important human pathogens. However, we know very little about the role of these structures in the lifestyles of plant-associated bacteria. Over the past few years, several groups studying the extensive genus of Xanthomonas spp.

Natural compounds target the M23B zinc metallopeptidase Mpg to modulate Neisseria gonorrhoeae Type IV pilus expression

mBio
Neisseria gonorrhoeae uses the Type IV pilus (T4p) to colonize several sites within humans by adhering to host cells and tissues. Previously, we identified a periplasmic M23B zinc metallopeptidase, Mpg, that is necessary to protect from oxidative and ...

Inhibitors of the Neisseria meningitidis PilF ATPase provoke type IV pilus disassembly

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance A number of multimeric protein nanomachines such as secretion systems and surface appendages allow bacteria to adapt and survive in a variety of environments. Type IV pili are one of the most common of such machineries.

Plasma Proteomic Signatures for Alzheimer's Disease: Comparable Accuracy to ATN Biomarkers and Cross‐Platform Validation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing recognition of the potential of plasma proteomics for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk assessment and disease characterization. However, differences between proteomics platforms introduce uncertainties regarding cross‐platform applicability.

Open-source genomic analysis of Shiga-toxin–producing E. coli O104:H4 [PDF]

, 2011
An outbreak caused by Shiga-toxin–producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 occurred in Germany in May and June of 2011, with more than 3000 persons infected. Here, we report a cluster of cases associated with a single family and describe an open-source genomic
