The Borrelia afzelii outer membrane protein BAPKO_0422 binds human Factor-H and is predicted to form a membrane-spanning beta-barrel [PDF]

, 2015
The deep evolutionary history of the Spirochetes places their branch point early in the evolution of the diderms, before the divergence of the present day Proteobacteria.

Atomic‐Precision Symmetry Breaking in Bi‐O‐Ti Sites Enables ROS Generation for Bactericidal and Osteosarcoma Therapy

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic therapy, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon light irradiation, has garnered significant interest for antibacterial and anticancer applications. This study establishes a doping‐engineered photocatalytic platform for antibacterial activity and precision osteosarcoma therapy by atomically constructing asymmetric Bi ...

Neisseria gonorrhoeae Porin Modulates Phagosome Maturation [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
The porin (PorB) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been implicated in the pathogenesis of this species. Porin is believed to translocate from the bacterial outer membrane into target cell membranes affecting various cell functions. Here we investigated the effect of porin on phagosome maturation.

Borrelia burgdorferi tolerates alteration to P66 porin function in a murine infectivity model

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Borrelia burgdorferi exists in a complex enzootic life cycle requiring differential gene regulation. P66, a porin and adhesin, is upregulated and essential during mammalian infection, but is not produced or required within the tick vector.

The CRISPR-Cas System Is Involved in OmpR Genetic Regulation for Outer Membrane Protein Synthesis in Salmonella Typhi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The CRISPR-Cas cluster is found in many prokaryotic genomes including those of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) harbors a Type I-E CRISPR-Cas locus composed of cas3, cse1, cse2, cas7, cas5, cas6e, cas1, cas2 ...

Role of ATP in mitochondrial protein import [PDF]

, 1988
The role of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) in the import of porin into the mitochondrial outer membrane was investigated with two forms of the porin precursor: the in vitro synthesized biosynthetic precursor (bs- porin) and a water-soluble form of porin

Indole contributes to tetracycline resistance via the outer membrane protein OmpN in Vibrio splendidus [PDF]

, 2020
As an interspecies and interkingdom signaling molecule, indole has recently received attention for its diverse effects on the physiology of both bacteria and hosts. In this study, indole increased the tetracycline resistance of Vibrio splendidus.

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Porin Proteins in Mitochondria from Rat Pancreatic Islet Cells and White Adipocytes [PDF]

, 1994
The binding of hexo-/glucokinase and glycerol kinase to mitochondria via the channel forming protein, porin, in pancreatic islet β-cells and adipocytes, was recently proposed to participate in nutritional signaling, glucose sensing, and the control of ...
