Cell entry mechanism of enzymatic bacterial colicins: Porin recruitment and the thermodynamics of receptor binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Binding of enzymatic E colicins to the vitamin B-12 receptor, BtuB, is the first stage in a cascade of events that culminate in the translocation of the cytotoxic nuclease into the Escherichia coli cytoplasm and release of its tightly bound immunity ...

Bioengineered Bacterial Vesicles and Biomimetic Hybrids Eliminate Biofilms and Balance the Gut Microbiome

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Biomimetic nanocarriers based on liposomes and Myxobacteria outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) are effective antibiotic delivery systems. Hybrids have a higher drug loading and can target intracellular pathogens, while OMVs evade immune clearance. Biomimetic nanoantibiotics effectively eliminate the biofilms of Gram‐negative bacteria. Besides, Myxobacteria

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Silver resistance in Gram-negative bacteria: a dissection of endogenous and exogenous mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Objectives: To gain a more detailed understanding of endogenous (mutational) and exogenous (horizontally acquired) resistance to silver in Gram-negative pathogens, with an emphasis on clarifying the genetic bases for resistance.

The ribosome‐associated complex regulates cytosolic translation upon mitoprotein‐induced stress

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Defects in mitochondrial protein import trigger a stress response. The contribution of translation regulation to such a response is only partially understood. We demonstrate that the deletion of mitochondrial surface proteins (TOM70/TOM71) leads to defects in mitochondrial biogenesis and slow growth.

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Teleological cooption of Mycobacterium tuberculosis PE/PPE proteins as porins: Role in molecular immigration and emigration

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Permeation through bacterial cells for exchange or uptake of biomolecules and ions invariably depend upon the existence of pore-forming proteins (porins) in their outer membrane. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.

Role of metal-dependent regulation of ESX-3 secretion in intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
More people die every year from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection than from infection by any other bacterial pathogen. Type VII secretion systems (T7SS) are used by both environmental and pathogenic mycobacteria to secrete proteins across their ...
