Abstract:
... Synthesis of a potent inhibitor of bacterial protein synthesis, pleuromutilin, is described. Assembly of the critical cyclooctane fragment relies on an oxidative ring-expansion, and complete stereochemical relay in the synthetic sequence is enabled by the judicious choice of tactics. The requisite connectivity pattern of the perhydroindanone motif is rapidly established in a sequence of cycloaddit ...

Abstract:
... Cry toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been extensively applied in agriculture to substitute the use of chemical insecticides. We have previously reported the use of a coexpression system in which late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) peptides under the control of the lac promoter increase the expression of insecticidal proteins in Bt. The use of lactose to induce the expression of LEA pepti ...

Abstract:
... Bacterial FT-IR signals are extremely specific and highly reproducible, making FT-IR an efficient tool for bacterial typing at the subspecies level. The polysaccharide and nucleic acid FT-IR regions (1200–900 cm⁻¹) are recommended as a precise and reproducible pattern for bacterial typing. However, proteins are the major macromolecules present in bacteria, and the FT-IR spectral region of proteins ...

Abstract:
... Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is routinely used for bacterial identification in clinical laboratories. Bacterial protein expression may differ according to their growth conditions, especially the culture medium composition. We aimed to study the peak variations of Staphylococcus aureus grown on various blood agar plates (BAP), especiall ...
... Certain phytochemicals have been found to promote the beneficial effects of probiotic bacteria although the molecular mechanisms of such interactions are poorly understood. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the exposure to 0.5 mM chlorogenic acid (CA) on the redox status and proteome of Enterococcus faecium isolated from cheese and challenged with 2.5 mM hydrogen per ...

... Due to its severe burden and geographic distribution, Chagas disease (CD) has a significant social and economic impact on low-income countries. Benznidazole and nifurtimox are currently the only drugs available for CD. These are prodrugs activated by reducing the nitro group, a reaction catalyzed by nitroreductase type I enzyme from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcNTR), with no homolog in the human host. The ...

Abstract:
... Waste from the fruit industry is the main source of pectin, which has a huge global market. Pectinolytic enzymes produced from bacteria have been widely used in the fruit and vegetable processing industry to break down pectic substances. Pectate lyase from mesophilic, thermophilic, and psychrophilic organisms are investigated using in-silico methods, as well as comparative docking with Pectin subs ...
... Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are hydrophilic proteins that lack a well-ordered tertiary structure and accumulate to high levels in response to water deficit, in organisms such as plants, fungi, and bacteria. The mechanisms proposed to protect cellular structures and enzymes are water replacement, ion sequestering, and membrane stabilization. The activity of some proteins has a limite ...

Abstract:
... Combination therapy of bacteriophages and antibiotics requires careful selection of specific antibiotics as it is crucial towards determining the success of phage therapy to treat multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections. So, we examined how different antibiotics can affect phage lytic activity when used in combination against targeted bacteria. Various antibiotics targeting bacterial protein ...
... Pathogenic microorganisms are responsible for many diseases in biological organisms, including humans. Many of these infections thrive in hospitals, where people are treated with medicines and certain bacteria resist those treatments. Consequently, this research article aims to develop efficient antimicrobial material-based conjugated and functionalized polypropargyl alcohol nanoparticles (nano-PG ...

Abstract:
... In bacteria transcription is coupled to translation, and while it is broadly accepted that transcription–translation complexes (TTCs) are formed in growing bacterial cells, the exact spatial organization of these macromolecular assemblies is not known with certainty. Recent studies indicated the formation of orderly cytosolic superstructures in growing E. coli cells. The bacterial nucleic acid (NA ...

Abstract:
... Although cold denaturation is a fundamental phenomenon common to all proteins, it can only be observed in a handful of cases where it occurs at temperatures above the freezing point of water. Understanding the mechanisms that determine cold denaturation and the rules that permit its observation is an important challenge. A way to approach them is to be able to induce cold denaturation in an otherw ...
bacterialproteins, etc ; Internet; algorithms; coevolution; humans; probability; proteome; therapeutics; user interface; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Protein–protein functional interactions arise from either transitory or permanent biomolecular associations and often lead to the coevolution of the interacting residues. Although mutual information has traditionally been used to identify coevolving residues within the same protein, its application between coevolving proteins remains largely uncharacterized. Therefore, we developed the Protein Int ...

Abstract:
... The mobility of protein is fundamental in the machinery of life. Here, we have investigated the effect of DNA binding in conjunction with DNA segmental fluctuation (internal motion) of the bacterial Hfq master regulator devoid of its amyloid C-terminus domain. Hfq is one of the most abundant nucleoid associated proteins that shape the bacterial chromosome and is involved in several aspects of nucl ...
... The number of cases of European foulbrood (EFB) increased massively in Switzerland since 2000. According to Swiss legislation, the health status of all colonies within one kilometer from a case needs to be identified by a bee inspector. This results in a workload too high to be handled in due time in areas with a high prevalence and high colony density. Therefore, the primary goal of this study wa ...

Abstract:
... In the present study, we evaluated the dietary fishmeal (FM) replacement potential of String Pro®, a novel methanotrophic bacterial protein meal (BM), in rainbow trout, based on growth, feed utilization, digestibility, nutrient balance and histological observations. Five isonitrogenous (49.4–51.1%) and isoenergetic (21–22.1 MJ/kg) practical diets containing 0, 12.5, 25, 37.5 and 48% BM, correspond ...

Abstract:
... Understanding adsorption of important proteins as part of a complex protein mixture onto surfaces such as soil is critical for numerous environmental applications. In this study, we investigated the adsorption of urease as part of a total bacterial protein extract from Sporosarcina pasteurii onto soil mixtures, including sand and silt, and the resulting enzymatic activity. Proteomics analysis of t ...

Abstract:
... The preparation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens cultures with strains encoding proteins intended for therapeutic or industrial purposes is an important activity prior to treatment of plants for transient expression of valuable protein products. The rising demand for biologic products such as these underscores the expansion of molecular pharming and warrants the need to produce transformed plants at a ...
... The 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing technique is a key aspect of studies of microbial communities but does not provide direct evidence of a community’s functional capabilities. This work aimed to assess the structure of the uncultured bacterial communities from two locations in Lake Tuz in Turkey to provide information on their roles in the lake ecosystem. The most abundant phyla in the lake water we ...
... The magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) model Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 (Mgryph) is typically known for its capacity to produce magnetic nanoparticles with unique properties, namely, magnetosomes. However, the magnetosome fraction represents only around 4% of the total cell mass. Therefore, the downstream processing of Mgryph generates a substantial amount of under-utilized microbial biomass ...
