Cloning, expression and preliminary characterization of VapBC-4 Toxin-Antitoxin module from Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni [PDF]
A leptospirose é uma zoonose causada pela bactéria espiroqueta aeróbia do gênero Leptospira, sendo a Leptospira interrogans sorovar Copenhageni uma das maiores responsáveis pelos casos em seres humanos da doença no Brasil.

Why tRNA acquisition could be relevant to bacteriophages?
We highlight the role and advantages of tRNA genes in phages, and a perspective about the use of phages with tRNA genes in biotechnological applications to contribute to new perspectives among the scientific community. Abstract In this opinion, we discuss the role of tRNAs in phage biology and their importance in DNA replication and phage‐host ...

Type II Toxin–Antitoxin Systems in the Unicellular Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Bacterial toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic elements, which are encoded by plasmid as well as chromosomal loci. They mediate plasmid and genomic island maintenance through post-segregational killing mechanisms but may also have milder effects ...

Abstract Background There is variability in recommended viral monitoring protocols after kidney transplant. In response to increased demand for laboratory testing during the COVID‐19 pandemic, the Transplant Manitoba Adult Kidney Program updated its monitoring protocols for cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV), and BK polyomavirus (BKV) to a

VapB-1 targets VapC-1 to the vapB-1 translation initiation region. [PDF]
Gel shift products from a titration of VapB-1 into samples following VapC-1 binding to (A) 50TIR or (B) 50US at a 100∶1 molar ratio of protein to DNA.

Three distinct classes of PRORP evolved to cleave the 5′ leader sequence from pre‐tRNA. Beyond available structure, kinetic, and thermodynamic data, there is more to learn about the protein‐interaction network, substrate specificity, and disease‐linked mutations related to PRORP.

Rhodococcus equi virulence‐associated protein A (VapA) is a membrane‐permeabilizing virulence factor that enables Rhodococcus equi to survive within phagosomes. We show that after binding to model membranes, VapA inserts preferentially at integrity‐reduced positions, reduces membrane fluidity, and forms specific membrane domains that serve as ...

Abstract In mixed‐phase cumulus clouds, droplets and ice crystals are inhomogeneously distributed, such spatial inhomogeneity can be enhanced by inhomogeneous entrainment as it can strengthen the particle clustering, which may further influence the phase partitioning and interactions among hydrometeors. However, the scale of particle clustering induced

Circular dichroism of VapB and VapC confirmed predicted secondary structure. [PDF]
(A) The VapB and VapC CD spectra were recorded in the wavelength range of 195–255 nm as average of five scans at 20°C. Measured ellipticities, θ (mdegree), were converted to molar mean residue ellipticities, [θ] (degree.cm2.dmol−1).

Summary The emergence of new pathogens is an ongoing threat to human health and agriculture. While zoonotic spillovers received considerable attention, the emergence of crop diseases is less well studied. Here, we identify genomic factors associated with the emergence of Pseudomonas syringae bacterial blight of coffee. Fifty‐three P.
