Cecropins contribute to Drosophila host defense against a subset of fungal and Gram-negative bacterial infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Mark Austin Hanson, Alexia Laurie Carboni

Cecropins are small helical secreted peptides with antimicrobial activity that are widely distributed among insects. Genes encoding Cecropins are strongly induced upon infection, pointing to their role in host defense. In Drosophila, four cecropin genes cl ...

High-resolution cryo-EM structure of urease from the pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Jasenko Zivanov

Urease converts urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide and makes urea available as a nitrogen source for all forms of life except animals. In human bacterial pathogens, ureases also aid in the invasion of acidic environments such as the stomach by raising th ...

Towards a point-of-care nanoplasmonic biosensor for rapid and multiplexed detection of pathogenic infections

Hatice Altug, Xiaokang Li, Filiz Yesilköy, Alexander Belushkin, Maria Soler Aznar

The implementation of multiplexed point-of-care biosensors is a top priority to address the current epidemic problems originated by widespread pathogenic infections, like those caused by viruses or bacteria. A rapid and accurate detection, identification, ...

In situ structural analysis of the Yersinia enterocolitica injectisome

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Marco Stenta, Matteo Thomas Degiacomi

Injectisomes are multi-protein transmembrane machines allowing pathogenic bacteria to inject effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells, a process called type III secretion. Here we present the first three-dimensional structure of Yersinia enterocolitica ...
