Commonality of Virulence‐Promoting Function in Rhodococcus equi Virulence Associated Proteins (Vaps)
Rhodococcus equi is a Gram‐positive facultative intracellular pathogen associated with life‐threatening bronchopneumonial disease in foals. Key to R. equi’s intracellular survival in host macrophages is the production of virulence associated proteins (Vaps).

The endogenous Coxiella burnetii plasmid encodes a functional toxin–antitoxin system
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and causative agent of Q fever. Here we report that the C. burnetii genome encodes 11 toxin–antitoxin systems, which is highly unusual for intracellular bacteria, and that one TA system is encoded on the large endogenous plasmid found in almost all C. burnetii isolates.

Transmission of Klebsiella strains and plasmids within and between grey‐headed flying fox colonies
Summary The grey‐headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) is an endemic Australian fruit bat, known to carry zoonotic pathogens. We recently showed they harbour bacterial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae and closely related species in the K. pneumoniae species complex (KpSC); however, the dynamics of KpSC transmission and gene flow within flying fox ...

In the era of big data, the furniture manufacturing industry takes digitization and intelligence as its core, and its servitization degree is constantly improving. In this paper, based on input‐output table data from major manufacturing countries throughout the world in the period 2000–2014, this study empirically analyzes the impact of servitization ...

Regulation of Enteric vapBC Transcription: Induction by VapC Toxin Dimer-Breaking
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) loci encode inhibitors of translation, replication or cell wall synthesis and are common elements of prokaryotic plasmids and chromosomes. Ten TA loci of Escherichia coli K-12 encode mRNases that cumulatively contribute to persistence (multidrug tolerance) of the bacterial cells. The mechanisms underlying induction and reversion of

Protein expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the isolatedShigella flexneriVapC toxin [PDF]
Upon release from the stable complex formed with its antitoxin VapB, the toxin VapC (MvpT) of the Gram-negative pathogen Shigella flexneri is capable of globally down-regulating translation by specifically cleaving initiator tRNA(fMet) in the anticodon region.

Stay or Go: Sulfolobales Biofilm Dispersal Is Dependent on a Bifunctional VapB Antitoxin
A type II VapB14 antitoxin regulates biofilm dispersal in the archaeal thermoacidophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius through traditional toxin neutralization but also through noncanonical transcriptional regulation.

Solution conformation of VAPC-43.
(a) Amino acid sequence of VAPC showing the sequences of truncated VAPC-43 (over residues 57–99) and VAPC-14 (72–85). Green arrows indicate four residues which were mutated into Ala in a VAPC-43 construct. (b) Far-UV CD spectrum of VAPC-43.
