Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisLeptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

A unified evolutionary origin for the ubiquitous protein transporters SecY and YidC
BMC Biology, 2021 Background Protein transporters translocate hydrophilic segments of polypeptide across hydrophobic cell membranes. Two protein transporters are ubiquitous and date back to the last universal common ancestor: SecY and YidC.

SecY-SecA fusion protein retains the ability to mediate protein transport. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In bacteria, the membrane protein complex SecY/E/G and SecA ATPase are essential for protein translocation. About 30% of newly synthesized proteins in the cytosol are targeted to and translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane by the Sec factors ...

Unlocking the Bacterial SecY Translocon [PDF]
Structure, 2016 The Sec translocon performs protein secretion and membrane protein insertion at the plasma membrane of bacteria and archaea (SecYEG/β), and the endoplasmic reticular membrane of eukaryotes (Sec61). Despite numerous structures of the complex, the mechanism underlying translocation of pre-proteins, driven by the ATPase SecA in bacteria, remains ...

Tapered optical fiber DNA biosensor for detecting Leptospira DNA
Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2023 Objective: To establish a DNA detection platform based on a tapered optical fiber to detect Leptospira DNA by targeting the leptospiral secY gene. Methods: The biosensor works on the principle of light propagating in the special geometry of the optical ...

Dynamic Organization of SecA and SecY Secretion Complexes in the B. subtilis Membrane.
PLoS ONE, 2016 In prokaryotes, about one third of cellular proteins are translocated across the plasma membrane or inserted into it by concerted action of the cytoplasmic ATPase SecA and the universally conserved SecYEG heterotrimeric polypeptide-translocating pore ...

Bacterial protein translocation requires only one copy of the SecY complex in vivo [PDF]
, 2012 The transport of proteins across the plasma membrane in bacteria requires a channel formed from the SecY complex, which cooperates with either a translating ribosome in cotranslational translocation or the SecA ATPase in post-translational translocation.

Bioinformatics describes novel Loci for high resolution discrimination of leptospira isolates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Leptospirosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses in the world and with over 260 pathogenic serovars there is an urgent need for a molecular system of classification. The development of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes for Leptospira spp.
