The VgrG Proteins Are "à la Carte" Delivery Systems for Bacterial Type VI Effectors [PDF]

, 2014
The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a supra-molecular complex akin to bacteriophage tails, with VgrG proteins acting as a puncturing device. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa H1-T6SS has been extensively characterized.

Precision nutrition in weight loss and neuroendocrine control of people with obesity: The study protocol of a factorial randomised controlled trial (GenON Programme)

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 1661-1672, March 2026.
Abstract Aims Precision nutrition, guided by genetic testing, has emerged as a promising approach for managing obesity. However, robust clinical trials testing its effectiveness in real‐world dietary interventions remain scarce. The GenOn Programme aims to evaluate whether tailoring nutritional care based on genetic risk for obesity enhances weight ...

Multitasking SecB chaperones in bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Protein export in bacteria is facilitated by the canonical SecB chaperone, which binds to unfolded precursor proteins, maintains them in a translocation competent state and specifically cooperates with the translocase motor SecA to ensure their proper ...

Consumption of Selected Healthy and Unhealthy Food Groups and Associations With Nutritional Status Among Children 2–5 Years of Age in Northern Ghana

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Poor diet quality may contribute to the multiple forms of malnutrition among children in Ghana. This cross‐sectional study (1) described the prevalence and frequency of consumption of fruits, vegetables, sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSB), salty snacks and sweet snacks among children 2–5 years in northern Ghana; (2) identified factors associated ...

Effect of Edible Cricket Enriched Complementary Porridge and Nutrition Education on Linear Growth of Children 6–14 Months in Siaya County, Kenya: A Randomized 2 × 2 Factorial Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Edible crickets are commonly farmed insects containing high‐quality protein and micronutrients. They can potentially replace common animal source protein in complementary food (CF). We evaluated the effect of edible cricket‐enriched CF on linear growth in a 2 × 2 factorial randomized control trial based on Cricket treatment (+/−CR) and ...

ATP-induced asymmetric pre-protein folding as a driver of protein translocation through the Sec machinery

eLife, 2019
Transport of proteins across membranes is a fundamental process, achieved in every cell by the ‘Sec’ translocon. In prokaryotes, SecYEG associates with the motor ATPase SecA to carry out translocation for pre-protein secretion.

Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements, regardless of their zinc content, increase growth and reduce the prevalence of stunting and wasting in young Burkinabe children : a cluster-randomized trial [PDF]

, 2015
Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) are promising home fortification products, but the optimal zinc level needed to improve growth and reduce morbidity is uncertain.
