Biochemical analysis of TssK, a core component of the bacterial Type VI secretion system, reveals distinct oligomeric states of TssK and identifies a TssK–TssFG subcomplex [PDF]
, 2014 Gram-negative bacteria use the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to inject toxic proteins into rival bacteria or eukaryotic cells. However, the mechanism of the T6SS is incompletely understood. In the present study, we investigated a conserved component of

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The sodium‐pumping ubiquinone oxidoreductase sodium pumping quinone reductase (NQR) is an important enzyme in the respiratory chain of multiple pathogenic gram‐negative bacteria. NQR has been proposed as a viable antibiotic target due to its importance in supporting energy‐consuming reactions and its absence in human cells.

Construction of Polymeric Antigenic Diagnosticum Based on Vibrio cholera О1 Lipopolysaccharide
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2020 Representatives of the genus Vibrio cholerae differ in the structure of lipopolysaccharide, in particular, its O-polysaccharide chains (O-antigen), which determines the serological specificity of vibrios.

Host-Microbe-Pathogen Interactions: A Review of Vibrio cholerae Pathogenesis in Drosophila
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Most animals maintain mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships with their intestinal microbiota. Resident microbes in the gastrointestinal tract breakdown indigestible food, provide essential nutrients, and, act as a barrier against invading microbes,

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.
