Spermidine Is an Intercellular Signal Modulating T3SS Expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a vital opportunistic human bacterial pathogen that causes acute and chronic infections. In this study, we set to determine whether the endogenous spermidine biosynthesis plays a role in regulation of type III secretion system ...

Metabolite-dependent regulation of gene expression in trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Mechanisms regulating gene expression in trypanosomatid protozoa differ significantly from those in other eukaryotes. Transcription of the genome appears to be more or less constitutive with the polyadenylation and trans-splicing of large polycistronic ...

Spermidine improves gut barrier integrity and gut microbiota function in diet-induced obese mice
Obesity is associated with impaired intestinal barrier function and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Spermidine, a polyamine that acts as an autophagy inducer, has important benefits in patients with aging-associated diseases and metabolic dysfunction ...

Identification of Trypanosoma cruzi Polyamine Transport Inhibitors by Computational Drug Repurposing [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic infection endemic in Latin America. In T. cruzi the transport of polyamines is essential because this organism is unable to synthesize these compounds de novo.

Ionic current inversion in pressure-driven polymer translocation through nanopores [PDF]
We predict streaming current inversion with multivalent counterions in hydrodynamically driven polymer translocation events from a correlation-corrected charge transport theory including charge fluctuations around mean-field electrostatics.
