Balanced Expression of the Diiron Oxygenase BioE Is Essential for Biotin Homeostasis in Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
BioE is a new diiron oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of long‐chain acyl groups into pimeloyl thioester, initiating biotin synthesis. The overexpression of EmBioE disrupts lipid metabolic homeostasis, requiring repressor BioL to maintain a balance between long‐chain fatty acids and biotin synthesis.

Regulation of neutrophilic inflammation by proteinase-activated receptor 1 during bacterial pulmonary infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Neutrophils are key effector cells of the innate immune response to pathogenic bacteria, but excessive neutrophilic inflammation can be associated with bystander tissue damage.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

A Nonviral Neo‐Nucleocapsid for Cell‐Specific RNA Delivery Developed by Pseudo‐Cyclic Peptide Grafting and Directed Evolution

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Nonviral neo‐nucleocapsids developed from a repurposed bacterial protein cage, and macrocyclic peptide pharmacophores via protein‐protein ligation, bacteria‐based directed evolution, lasso‐grafting, and mammalian cell‐based directed evolution enabled cell specific RNA delivery.

Contribution of Pili of S. Pneumoniae in the Onset of Meningitis

open access: yesFolia Veterinaria, 2018
Bacterial meningitis is a devastating worldwide disease. Half of the survivors of meningitis remain with permanent neurological sequelae. The pathogenesis of meningitis is based on a complex host-pathogen interaction.

Evaluation of the Blue-Carba test for rapid detection of carbapenemases in gram-negative Bacilli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Blue-Carba test (BCT) is a biochemical test for rapid (2 h)detection of carbapenemase production in Gram-negative bacillidirectly from bacterial culture .

Precise Construction of an Antimicrobial Peptide Targeting Bacterial Cell Membranes Derived From Natural Peptides

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An AMP (P 3‐3R‐8I) based on natural peptides, which can target bacterial cell membranes, was precisely constructed via amino acid mutation. P 3‐3R‐8I exhibits antibacterial capability which could be attributed to the ability of P 3‐3R‐8I to quickly penetrate bacterial cell membranes and then to bind to bacterial DNA.

Fluorinated Glycan Frameshifts: Automated Synthesis Expedites the Study of Glycan‐Protein Interactions by 19F‐BioNMR

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Given the prominence of 19F‐bioNMR in structural research, fluorinated glycans hold enormous potential in glycomimetic frameshift design. However, challenges associated with the stereocontrolled synthesis of these disruptive actors continue to frustrate advances. To address this, the automated synthesis of selectively C‐2 fluorinated glycans related to

Clearance of mixed biofilms of Streptococcus pneumoniae and methicillin-susceptible/resistant Staphylococcus aureus by antioxidants N-acetyl-l-cysteine and cysteamine

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Biofilm-associated infections are of great concern because they are associated with antibiotic resistance and immune evasion. Co-colonization by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae is possible and a threat in clinical practice.
