The MycoBrowser portal: a comprehensive and manually annotated resource for mycobacterial genomes

Stewart Cole, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Jocelyne Lew

In this paper, we present the MycoBrowser portal (http://mycobrowser.epfl.ch/), a resource that provides both in silico generated and manually reviewed information within databases dedicated to the complete genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacter ...

TubercuList - 10 years after

Stewart Cole, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Jocelyne Lew

TubercuList (http://tuberculist.epfl.ch/), the relational database that presents genome-derived information about H37Rv, the paradigm strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been active for ten years and now presents its twentieth release. Here, we descr ...

A Simple Model for Testing Drugs against Non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Ming Zhang

Non-replicating or dormant cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis constitute a challenge to tuberculosis (TB) therapy because of their tolerance or phenotypic resistance to most drugs. Here, we propose a simple model for testing drugs against non-growing cell ...

Development of a repressible mycobacterial promoter system based on two transcriptional repressors

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala

Tightly regulated gene expression systems represent invaluable tools for studying gene function and for the validation of drug targets in bacteria. While several regulated bacterial promoters have been characterized, few of them have been successfully used ...

The new antitubercular drug candidate 2-[2-S-methyl-1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl]-8-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,3-benzothiazin-4-one (BTZ043) targets the DprE1 (Rv3790) subunit of the enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-d-ribose 2'-epimerase. To monit ...

BACKGROUND: A resequencing microarray called PathogenID v2.0 has been developed and used to explore various strategies of sequence selection for its design. The part dedicated to influenza viruses was based on consensus sequences specific for one gene gene ...

Antimalarial and antitubercular nostocarboline and eudistomin derivatives: synthesis, in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation

Stewart Cole, Rosario Scopelliti, Luc Patiny, Karl Gademann, Simone Bonazzi

The synthesis of nine nostocarboline derivatives with substitutions of the 2-methyl group by alkyl, aryl and functionalized residues, 10 symmetrical bis cationic dimers linking 6-Cl-norharmane through the 2-position and fifteen derivatives of the marine al ...

Benzothiazinones: prodrugs that covalently modify the decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-epimerase DprE1 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Kai Johnsson, Marlon Hinner, Claudia Trefzer, Monica Rengifo Gonzalez

Benzothiazinones (BTZs) form a new class of potent antimycobacterial agents. Although the target of BTZs has been identified as decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-epimerase (DprE1), their detailed mechanism of action remains obscure. Here we demonstrate th ...
