Detection of a Yersinia pestis gene homologue in rodent samples [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 A homologue to a widely used genetic marker, pla, for Yersinia pestis has been identified in tissue samples of two species of rat (Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus) and of mice (Mus musculus and Apodemus sylvaticus) using a microarray based platform ...

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.

The NLRP12 Inflammasome Recognizes Yersinia pestis [PDF]
Immunity, 2012 Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is able to suppress production of inflammatory cytokines IL-18 and IL-1β, which are generated through caspase-1-activating nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing inflammasomes. Here, we sought to elucidate the role of NLRs and IL-18 during plague. Lack of IL-18 signaling led to

Oligomeric coiled-coil adhesin YadA is a double-edged sword.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Yersinia adhesin A (YadA) is an essential virulence factor for the food-borne pathogens Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Surprisingly, it is a pseudogene in Yersinia pestis.

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.

Arthropod ectoparasites of synanthropic rodents in northern‐central Italy
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The presence of ectoparasites in synanthropic rodents in various Italian provinces was investigated. Eighty‐one Rattus norvegicus, 49 Rattus rattus and 10 Mus musculus were examined Polyplax spinulosa lice, Myobiidae mites, Laelaps echidninus and Notoedres muris were mainly recovered.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary The establishment of Nicotiana benthamiana as a robust biofactory is complicated by issues such as product toxicity and proteolytic degradation of target proteins/introduced enzymes. Here we investigate whether biomolecular condensates can be used to address these problems. We engineered biomolecular condensates in N.
