Prevalence and Significance of Plasmid Maintenance Functions in the Virulence Plasmids of Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2011
ABSTRACTVirulence functions of pathogenic bacteria are often encoded on large extrachromosomal plasmids. These plasmids are maintained at low copy number to reduce the metabolic burden on their host. Low-copy-number plasmids risk loss during cell division.

Hijacking the Host Clock: A Nematode Effector Antagonizes Soybean Circadian Defense and Translation Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soybean employs its circadian clock, governed by GmCCA1, to rhythmically defend against soybean cyst nematodes. The pathogen retaliates by secreting the effector Hg4E02, which hijacks the clock to suppress defense and co‐opt the host's translation machinery for nutrient acquisition.

Function Characterization of Endogenous Plasmids in Cronobacter sakazakii and Identification of p-Coumaric Acid as Plasmid-Curing Agent

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Virulence traits and antibiotic resistance are frequently provided by genes located on plasmids. However, experimental verification of the functions of these genes is often lacking due to a lack of related experimental technology.

Enzymatic DNA Reaction Networks for Orchestrating Stimuli‐Dependent Temporal Molecular Pulse

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present an enzymatic DNA reaction network (EDRN) that encodes nucleic‐acid targets in time, converting inputs into a universal strand and then into programmable transient fluorescence pulses. With time‐color multiplexing, EDRN enables single‐tube high‐plex nucleic acid detection and shows strong agreement with clinical sequencing across 32 specimens.

Conjugation of a Hybrid Plasmid Encoding Hypervirulence and Carbapenem Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae of Sequence Type 592

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Klebsiella pneumoniae simultaneously carrying genes encoding carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence causes fatal infections, representing a severe threat to human health. These carbapenem-resistant and hypervirulent K.

UCHL3 Regulates Subgenomic Flaviviral RNA Condensates to Promote Virus Propagation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flavivirus subgenomic RNAs (sfRNAs) antagonise antiviral defences, yet how sfRNAs are organized and maintained in cells remains poorly understood. Here we identify ubiquitin C‐terminal hydrolase L3 (UCHL3) as a post‐translational regulator of flavivirus sfRNA stability and function.

Virulence region of plasmid pNL2001 of Salmonella enteritidis [PDF]

Microbiology, 1994
The virulence region of the Salmonella enteritidis 55 kb plasmid pNL2001 was identified by Tn1-insertion mutagenesis, DNA hybridization studies, and Western blot analysis of proteins encoded in the virulence region of the plasmid. DNA hybridization studies showed that the pNL2001 plasmid contained a 6.4 kb SalI-EcoRI fragment homologous to the 6.4 kb ...

A Chirality‐Converted Bacteriolytic Dodecapeptide Regulates Vibrio‐Induced Polymicrobial Infection and Ameliorates Invasion‐Associated Gut Microbiota Disequilibrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multidrug‐resistant Vibrio infections are rising rapidly and threaten coastal populations worldwide. This study introduces D‐zp37, a chirality‐engineered antimicrobial peptide with exceptional potency against resistant Vibrio species. D‐zp37 kills planktonic cells, blocks mixed‐species biofilms, disrupts essential bacterial stress responses, and shows ...

The Host Cell Factor Phosphatase‐2A Subunit PR130 Restricts Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type‐1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular, genetic, virological, and biochemical analysis in combination with global proteome and phosphoproteome profiling and functional assays were applied to study the role of PR130 in the context of HSV‐1 replication. The observations reveal that host‐intrinsic mechanisms regulate HSV‐1 replication and highlight PR130 as a susceptibility factor of

Plasmid-mediated changes in virulence of Vibrio cholerae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
The effects of several plasmids, including cloning vectors and R factors, on the virulence of Vibrio cholerae CA401R were determined by measuring the dose-related diarrheal response in orally challenged infant mice. The plasmids were also examined for their effects on the colonization ability of strain CA401R by joint infection experiments with a ...
