Type VII Secretion: A Highly Versatile Secretion System

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACTType VII secretion (T7S) systems of mycobacteria secrete substrates over the unusual diderm cell envelope. Furthermore, T7S gene clusters are present throughout the phylumActinobacteria, and functional T7S-like systems have been identified inFirmicutes.

A Novel Mechanism for Protein Delivery by the Type 3 Secretion System for Extracellularly Secreted Proteins

open access: yesmBio, 2017
The type 3 secretion system (T3SS) is essential for bacterial virulence through delivering effector proteins directly into the host cytosol. Here, we identified an alternative delivery mechanism of virulence factors mediated by the T3SS, which consists ...

Comparative genome analysis of proteases, oligopeptide uptake and secretion systems in Mycoplasma spp

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2007
Mycoplasmas are very fastidious in their nutritional requirements for in vitro growth and have limited biosynthetic capacity, a reflection of their reduced genomes. As a result, these bacteria depend upon external metabolites for nutrition and growth and

Adaptations of Vibrio parahaemolyticus to Stress During Environmental Survival, Host Colonization, and Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) is an aquatic Gram-negative bacterium that may infect humans and cause gastroenteritis and wound infections. The first pandemic of Vp associated infection was caused by the serovar O3:K6 and epidemics caused by the other ...

Bacterial Secretion Systems: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens utilize a multitude of methods to invade mammalian hosts, damage tissue sites, and thwart the immune system from responding. One essential component of these strategies for many bacterial pathogens is the secretion of proteins across phospholipid membranes.

Decreased Interleukin-4 Release from the Neurons of the Locus Coeruleus in Response to Immobilization Stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has been demonstrated that immobilization (IMO) stress affects neuroimmune systems followed by alterations of physiology and behavior. Interleukin-4 (IL-4), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is known to regulate inflammation caused by immune challenge ...

Syntaxin 11 Contributes to the Interferon-Inducible Restriction of Coxiella burnetii Intracellular Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2023
There is a limited understanding of host defense mechanisms targeting intracellular pathogens that proliferate in a lysosome. Coxiella burnetii is a model bacterial pathogen capable of replicating in the hydrolytic and acidic environment of the lysosome.

Protein secretion systems in Mycobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, 2007
Mycobacteria have a unique cell-envelope structure which protects the bacteria from the extracellular environment by limiting access to noxious molecules from the outside. This extremely hydrophobic and thick barrier also poses a unique problem for the export of bacterial products. Here we review the multiple protein secretion pathways in Mycobacteria,

The Brain-Gut-Microbiome Axis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Preclinical and clinical studies have shown bidirectional interactions within the brain-gut-microbiome axis. Gut microbes communicate to the central nervous system through at least 3 parallel and interacting channels involving nervous, endocrine, and ...

At the Gate of Mutualism: Identification of Genomic Traits Predisposing to Insect-Bacterial Symbiosis in Pathogenic Strains of the Aphid Symbiont Serratia symbiotica

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Mutualistic associations between insects and heritable bacterial symbionts are ubiquitous in nature. The aphid symbiont Serratia symbiotica is a valuable candidate for studying the evolution of bacterial symbiosis in insects because it includes a wide ...
