Entomological assessment of dengue virus transmission risk in three urban areas of Kenya.
Urbanization is one of the major drivers of dengue epidemics globally. In Kenya, an intriguing pattern of urban dengue virus epidemics has been documented in which recurrent epidemics are reported from the coastal city of Mombasa, whereas no outbreaks ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Vector competence of Florida mosquitoes for chikungunya virus [PDF]
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV, family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus) has re-emerged and caused human epidemics in Europe, Africa, Asia, and India in recent years (Bessaud et al. 2006, Powers and Logue 2007, Peyrefitte et al. 2008, Leo et al. 2009). The debilitating disease caused by CHIKV results in fever, skin rash, and arthritis-like pain in small ...

Objective. To gain a better understanding of the Zika virus (ZIKV) vector transmission in Mexico, we determined the vector competence of a local population of Ae. aegypti (Acapulco, Guerrero) for a strain of ZIKV isolated from a Mexican febrile patient.

Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

The Vector Model of Competence Diagnostics
The article summarizes the results of the theoretical study of the problem of diagnostics designing that takes into account the multidimensional nature of competence. Competences aggregate inconsistent components. Therefore, in order to describe them, it is natural to apply the category of multidimensionality.

Effective vector competence of the Cairns DENV-3.
Top: The change in vector competence over time through a population of vectors is a dynamic process. Here the difference in dynamic vector competence between the 2008/09 (dashed line) and 1997/98 (solid line) strains is shown. These linear functions then
