Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Generating site saturation mutagenesis libraries and transferring them to broad host range plasmids using type IIS restriction enzymes [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Protein engineering is an established method for tailoring enzymatic reactivity. A commonly used method is directed evolution, where the mutagenesis and natural selection process is mimicked and accelerated in the laboratory. Here, we describe a reliable method for generating saturation mutagenesis libraries by golden gate cloning in a broad host range

Unique features of Plasmids among different Citrobacter species [PDF]
, 2012 The _Citrobacter_ plasmids are supposed to represent the host genetic association within the living bacterial cell. The plasmids impart various beneficial characteristics to the host, helping it to retain suitable characteristics for adaptation as well ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Classical, novel and atypical isoforms of PKC stimulate ANF- and TRE/AP-1-regulated-promoter activity in ventricular cardiomyocytes [PDF]
, 1994 Cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were co-transfected with expression plasmids encoding protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms from each of the PKC subfamilies (classical PKC-α, novel PKC-ε or atypical PKC-ξ) together with an atrial natriuretic factor (

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.
