The LPS core is critical for virulence in Pectobacterium carotovorum, as its truncation disrupts outer membrane protein assembly, reducing protease secretion, motility, and soft rot symptoms. ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a critical component of the bacterial outer membrane, which serves as a permeability barrier and site for sensing ...

Identification and functional analysis of novel phosphorylation sites in the RNA surveillance protein Upf1. [PDF]
One third of inherited genetic diseases are caused by mRNAs harboring premature termination codons as a result of nonsense mutations. These aberrant mRNAs are degraded by the Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay (NMD) pathway.

Dual Reporter Systems for the Analysis of Translational Readthrough in Mammals
Translational readthrough, the decoding of stop codons as sense codons, leads to C-terminal extension of proteins which may lead to the formation of protein isoforms with distinct properties from the original protein. Two proteins have recently been identified that are targeted to the peroxisome via hidden peroxisomal targeting signals in their ...

Amlexanox Enhances Premature Termination Codon Read-Through in COL7A1 and Expression of Full Length Type VII Collagen: Potential Therapy for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. [PDF]
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare monogenic blistering disorder caused by the lack of functional type VII collagen, leading to skin fragility and subsequent trauma-induced separation of the epidermis from the underlying dermis ...

Translational error in mice increases with ageing in an organ-dependent manner
The accuracy of protein synthesis and its relation to ageing has been of long-standing interest. To study whether spontaneous changes in the rate of ribosomal error occur as a function of age, we first determined that stop-codon readthrough is a more ...

TRIM39-RPP21 Variants (∆19InsCCC) Are Not Associated with Juvenile Idiopathic Epilepsy in Egyptian Arabian Horses. [PDF]
Juvenile idiopathic epilepsy (JIE) is an inherited disease characterized by recurrent seizures during the first year of life in Egyptian Arabian horses. Definitive diagnosis requires an electroencephalogram (EEG) performed by a veterinary specialist.
