Comparative analysis of current diagnostic PCR assays in detecting pathogenic Leptospira isolates from environmental samples

open access: yesAsian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2019
Objective: To compare the efficiency of routine diagnostic PCR assays in detecting pathogenic Leptospira isolated from water and soils. Methods: Seven routine assays targeting six genes (lipL32, flaB, gyrB, lfb1, secY and ligB) were evaluated and ...

Tn‐seq of Thermus thermophilus Genome Reveals Unexpected Tolerance to Insertions in Bacterial Common Essential Genes

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Tn‐seq analysis of Thermus thermophilus genome reveals insertions in almost all genes, this is, there is no clear discrimination of essential genes. A similar result has not been reported in other Tn‐seq analysis of bacterial genomes so far. The polyploidy of the Thermus genome could explain the apparent non‐essentiality of key genes.

OsPT4 Facilitates Selenomethionine Transport and Biosynthesis to Enhance Seed Accumulation in Rice: Molecular Mechanisms and Biotechnological Potential

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1992-2008, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient for humans, with important functions for health and anti‐cancer properties. Organic Se shows higher antioxidant activity and much lower toxicity compared to inorganic Se, making it safer for use. Selenomethionine (SeMet) is one of the primary forms of organic Se.

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1955-1967, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.

SecE-dependent overproduction of SecY in Escherichia coli Evidence for interaction between two components of the secretory machinery [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The secY and secE genes were individually cloned and placed under the control of the tac promoter on plasmids. Induction with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside resulted in the overproduction of SecE, but not that of SecY.

The very early evolution of protein translocation across membranes.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2021
In this study, we used a computational approach to investigate the early evolutionary history of a system of proteins that, together, embed and translocate other proteins across cell membranes.

The Purified E. coli Integral Membrane Protein SecY/E Is Sufficient for Reconstitution of SecA-Dependent Precursor Protein Translocation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
We have previously reconstituted the soluble phase of precursor protein translocation in vitro using purified proteins (the precursor proOmpA, the chaperone SecB, and the ATPase SecA) in addition to isolated inner membrane vesicles.

‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’: From infection to all‐round characterisation of distinct tuf‐type strains with different virulence in tomato plants

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 480-494, March 2026.
‘Candidatus Phytoplasma (Ca. P.) solani’ is associated with bois noir (BN) of grapevine and stolbur of solanaceous plants and is primarily transmitted by Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret. Four tuf‐a and five tuf‐b1 ‘Ca. P. solani’ strains were transmitted to tomato plants (cv. Micro‐Tom) by using bait‐plants and by capturing H.
