Translational arrest by a prokaryotic signal recognition particle is mediated by RNA interactions

The signal recognition particle (SRP) recognizes signal sequences of nascent polypeptides and targets ribosome-nascent chain complexes to membrane translocation sites. In eukaryotes, translating ribosomes are slowed down by the Alu domain of SRP to allow e ...

Investigation of sporulation in the Desulfotomaculum genus: a genomic comparison with the genera Bacillus and Clostridium

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia

The genus Desulfotomaculum, belonging to the Firmicutes, comprises strictly anaerobic and endospore-forming bacteria capable of dissimilatory sulfate reduction. These microorganisms are metabolically versatile and are widely distributed in the environment. ...

Mechanistic aspects of DNA uptake in naturally competent Vibrio cholerae

Patrick Martin Seitz

The physiological state of competence for natural transformation allows bacteria to take up free DNA from the environment and recombine it into their genome. As one of three modes of horizontal gene transfer, natural transformation has hence contributed su ...

Metal reduction and sporulation in Desulfotomaculum reducens

Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia

The genera Desulfotomaculum and Clostridium, belonging to the phylum Firmicutes, comprise Gram-positive, low G+C genomic content, anaerobic, spore- forming bacteria. Desulfotomaculum is a metabolically and environmentally versatile genus capable of growing ...

ComEA Is Essential for the Transfer of External DNA into the Periplasm in Naturally Transformable Vibrio cholerae Cells

Aleksandra Radenovic, Matteo Dal Peraro, Melanie Blokesch, Lorenz Jan Steinbock, Roman Bulushev, Patrick Martin Seitz, Hasan Pezeshgi Modarres

The DNA uptake of naturally competent bacteria has been attributed to the action of DNA uptake machineries resembling type IV pilus complexes. However, the protein(s) for pulling the DNA across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria remain speculativ ...

Synthesis, structural characterization, and antibacterial activity of mononuclear cobalt(III) azido complexes of two pentadentate Schiff bases derived from 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde

Kurt Schenk

The structural, spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of [Co{(naph)(2)dien}(N-3)] and [Co{(naph)(2)dpt}(N-3)], where (naph)(2)dien=bis-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine)-N-diethylenetriaminedianion and (naph)(2)dpt=bis-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimine)-N-dipr ...

DNA-uptake machinery of naturally competent Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Patrick Martin Seitz

Natural competence for transformation is a mode of horizontal gene transfer that is commonly used by bacteria to take up DNA from their environment. As part of this developmental program, so-called competence genes, which encode the components of a DNA-upt ...

The dark sides of capillary morphogenesis gene 2

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Julie Deuquet Ariosa

Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2) is a type I membrane protein involved in the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix. While it shares interesting similarities with integrins, its exact molecular role is unknown. The interest and knowledge about CMG2 ...

Streptomycin-Starved Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a Drug Discovery Tool for Latent Tuberculosis

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

Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a streptomycin (STR)-dependent mutant that enters a viable but nonreplicating state in the absence of STR, has been developed as a simple model for drug testing against dormant bacilli. Here, we further evaluated the STR-sta ...

Extending the aerolysin family: from bacteria to vertebrates

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Mircea Ioan Iacovache

A number of bacterial virulence factors have been observed to adopt structures similar to that of aerolysin, the principal toxin of Aeromonas species. However, a comprehensive description of architecture and structure of the aerolysin-like superfamily has ...
