Genome sequence of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague
Nature, 2001 The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of the systemic invasive infectious disease classically referred to as plague, and has been responsible for three human pandemics: the Justinian plague (sixth to eighth centuries), the ...

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Protein S‐palmitoylation, a reversible lipid modification, plays critical roles in regulating protein function and localization. However, its comprehensive role in the rapid reprogramming of macrophages during early immune responses remains incompletely understood.

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

Small, EarlyView.Self‐assembling amphiphilic peptide L15K6 is used as a novel immunoadjuvant for the development of a Group A Streptococcus vaccine. Robust antigen‐specific IgG responses are generated and manage to kill isolated strains of Group A Streptococcus. Cellular and bulk RNA sequencing data reveals that L15K6 regulates immune responses potentially through TLR ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

Increased plasmid copy number is essential for Yersinia T3SS function and virulence
Science, 2016 Plasmid copy number promotes plague The virulence of the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, is encoded on a plasmid. Normally, the bacterium only tolerates one copy of the plasmid, which provides the molecular machinery for injecting toxins into host ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents the first description and characterisation of Lactococcus garvieae isolated from diseased European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) farmed in Spain. During autumn 2023, two fish farms were affected by infectious outbreaks causing moderate cumulative fish mortality (5%–10%). Diseased fish showed clinical signs of haemorrhagic
