Thioredoxin 1 (TrxA) is an enzyme that reduces disulfide bonds in the bacterial cytosol. Here, the AUs show that TrxA can function as a chaperone of the secreted bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferase ...

The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Nov. 25, 2024 — With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy -- using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections -- fell into oblivion.

This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...

Their results, which examine the process in bacteria, are published in the journal Science. "Understanding how the ribosome captures or 'recruits' the mRNA is a prerequisite for everything that ...

Solar-powered lasers that run on the photosynthetic machinery of bacteria could one day provide a low mass, simple and sustainable means of providing power in space, replacing the usual heavy ...

Pneumonia is an infection of one or both lungs caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus. It causes inflammation and fluid build-up in the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lungs. Bacterial and viral ...

A: Animal; ACE: Accessory cholera enterotoxin; H: Human; ZOT: Zonula occludens toxin.

These bacteria compete with viruses for resources, thus limiting a pathogen’s ability to replicate and transmit diseases such as dengue, Zika fever, and chikungunya.
