Genomic analysis of Acidianus hospitalis W1 a host for studying crenarchaeal virus and plasmid life cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Acidianus hospitalis W1 genome consists of a minimally sized chromosome of about 2.13 Mb and a conjugative plasmid pAH1 and it is a host for the model filamentous lipothrixvirus AFV1.

Toxins VapC and PasB from Prokaryotic TA Modules Remain Active in Mammalian Cancer Cells

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Among the great number of addictive modules which have been discovered, only a few have been characterized. However, research concerning the adoption of toxins from these systems shows their great potential as a tool for molecular biology and medicine.

A nuclease specific to lepidopteran insects suppresses RNAi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
More than 70% of all agricultural pests are insects in the order Lepidoptera, which, unlike other related insect orders, are not very sensitive to RNAi, limiting genetic studies of this insect group.

Druggability of bacterial toxins-antitoxins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
53 p.-8 fig.-3 tab.Type II (proteic) toxin-antitoxin (TA) operons are widely spread in bacteria and archaea. They are organized as operons in which, usually, the antitoxin gene precedes the cognate toxin gene.

Translational regulation in mycobacteria and its implications for pathogenicity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Protein synthesis is a fundamental requirement of all cells for survival and replication. To date, vast numbers of genetic and biochemical studies have been performed to address the mechanisms of translation and its regulation in Escherichia coli, but ...

The ntrPR Operon of Sinorhizobium meliloti Is Organized and Functions as a Toxin-Antitoxin Module

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
The chromosomal ntrPR operon of Sinorhizobium meliloti encodes a protein pair that forms a toxin-antitoxin (TA) module, the first characterized functional TA system in Rhizobiaceae. Similarly to other bacterial TA systems, the toxin gene ntrR is preceded

Insights into dynamics of mobile genetic elements in hyperthermophilic environments from five new Thermococcus plasmids.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Mobilome of hyperthermophilic archaea dwelling in deep-sea hydrothermal vents is poorly characterized. To gain insight into genetic diversity and dynamics of mobile genetic elements in these environments we have sequenced five new plasmids from different

Neoteric advancement in TB drugs and an overview on the anti-tubercular role of peptides through computational approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Peptides of varied origins such as human immune cells and non-immune cells, bacteria, fungi, and venoms have been widely investigated as anti-tubercular agents for the replacement of existing anti-tubercular drugs in future.

Structure and proposed activity of a member of the VapBC family of toxin-antitoxin systems. VapBC-5 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

open access: yesThe Journal of biological chemistry, 2009
In prokaryotes, cognate toxin-antitoxin pairs have long been known, but no three-dimensional structure has been available for any given complex from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here we report the crystal structure and activity of a member of the VapBC family of complexes from M. tuberculosis.

살모넬라균 유래 VapBC 와 SehAB 독소-항독소 단백질의 구조적, 기능적 연구 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
학위논문(박사)--서울대학교 대학원 :약학대학 약학과,2020. 2. 이봉진.세균성의 독소-항독소 시스템은 영양부족, 항생제 처리, 산화스트레스 등의 세포가 힘든 환경에 처했을 때 세포의 유지에 필수적인 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 주목받고 있다. 독소-항독소 시스템은 항독소의 독소 저해 방식 혹은 항독소의 형태에 따라 6가지 독소-항독소 시스템이 존재한다. 그 중에서 타입 2 독소-항독소 시스템은 가장 많이 연구가 진행되었다.
