Pyrazinamide inhibits trans-translation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Wanliang W Shi, Xuelian X Zhang, Xin X Jiang, Haiming H Yuan, Jong Seok JS Lee, Clifton E CE Barry, Honghai H Wang, Wenhong W Zhang and Ying Y Zhang
Abstract
We identify a previously unknown target of POA as the ribosomal protein S1 (RpsA), a vital protein involved in protein translation and the ribosome-sparing process of trans-translation. Three PZA-resistant clinical isolates without pncA mutation harbored RpsA mutations. RpsA overexpression conferred... | PMID: 21835980

Pseudomonas syringae type III effector HopZ1 targets a host enzyme to suppress isoflavone biosynthesis and promote infection in soybean.
Huanbin Zhou, Jian Lin, Aimee Johnson, Robyn L Morgan, Wenwan Zhong and Wenbo Ma
Abstract
We find that HopZ1 physically interacts with the isoflavone biosynthesis enzyme, 2-hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase (GmHID1). P. syringae infection induces gmhid1 expression and production of daidzein, a major soybean isoflavone. Silencing gmhid1 increases susceptibility to P. syringae infection, su... | PMID: 21402357

Specific threonine phosphorylation of a host target by two unrelated type III effectors activates a host innate immune receptor in plants.
Eui-Hwan Chung, Luis da Cunha, Ai-Jiuan Wu, Zhiyong Gao, Karen Cherkis, Ahmed J Afzal, David Mackey and Jeffery L Dangl
Abstract
We show that RIN4 phosphorylation activates RPM1. RIN4(142-176) is necessary and, with appropriate localization sequences, sufficient to support effector-triggered RPM1 activation, with the threonine residue at position 166 being critical. Phosphomimic substitutions at T166 cause effector-independen... | PMID: 21320695

Genetic evidence for functional interaction of the Escherichia coli signal recognition particle receptor with acidic lipids in vivo.
Elinor Erez, Goran Stjepanovic, Adrian M Zelazny, Britta Brugger, Irmgard Sinning and Eitan Bibi
Abstract
We proposed that FtsY requires functional interaction with inner membrane lipids at a late stage of the signal recognition particle pathway. In addition, an essential lipid-binding α-helix was identified in FtsY of various origins. Theoretical considerations and in vitro studies have suggested that... | PMID: 20956528

Double click reaction for the acquisition of a highly potent and selective mPTPB inhibitor.
Rongjun He, Zhihong Yu, Yantao He, Li-Fan Zeng, Jie Xu, Li Wu, Andrea M Gunawan, Lina Wang, Zhong-Xing Jiang and Zhong-Yin Zhang
Abstract
We report the discovery of highly potent and selective mPTPB inhibitors using a novel, double Click chemistry strategy. The most potent mPTPB inhibitor from this approach possesses a K(i) value of 160 nM and a >25-fold selectivity for mPTPB over 19 other protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTBs). Molec... | PMID: 20957718

Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy
Hadi Poormoghim, Aref Hosseynian and Aryan Javadi
Abstract
Staphylokinase (SAK) is a promising thrombolytic agent for treating blood-clotting disorders. Recombinant SAK (rSAK) was produced after integration of the gene into Pichia pastoris genome. The recombinant Pichia carrying multiple insertions of the SAK gene yielded high-level (approximately 1 g/l) of... | PMID: 19214390

Dissecting the cosubstrate structure requirements of the Staphylococcus aureus aminoglycoside resistance enzyme ANT(4').
Vanessa R Porter, Keith D Green, Olga E Zolova, Jacob L Houghton and Sylvie Garneau-Tsodikova
Abstract
We demonstrate that the resistance enzyme ANT(4') from Staphylococcus aureus is highly substrate and cosubstrate promiscuous. We show that deoxy-ribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) are better cosubstrates than NTPs. We demonstrate that the position of the triphosphate group (5' and not 3') on the r... | PMID: 21040710

RNAs: regulators of bacterial virulence.
Jonas Gripenland, Sakura Netterling, Edmund Loh, Teresa Tiensuu, Alejandro Toledo-Arana and Jörgen Johansson
Abstract
RNA-based pathways that regulate protein expression are much more widespread than previously thought. Regulatory RNAs, including 5' and 3' untranslated regions next to the coding sequence, cis-acting antisense RNAs and trans-acting small non-coding RNAs, are effective regulatory mole... | PMID: 21079634

Community and gene composition of a human dental plaque microbiota obtained by metagenomic sequencing.
G Xie, P S G Chain, C-C Lo, K-L Liu, J Gans, J Merritt and F Qi
Abstract
We report a metagenomic analysis of a healthy human plaque sample using a combination of second-generation sequencing platforms. A total of 860 million base pairs of non-human sequences were generated. Various analysis tools revealed the presence of 12 well-characterized phyla, members of the TM-7 a... | PMID: 21040513

Abstract
This case-controlled study examined clinical and microbiological parameters in Brazilian children and adolescents receiving orthodontic treatment using fixed orthodontic appliances or removable orthodontic appliances. The plaque index, gingival index, number of decaye... | PMID: 21344829

Homology modeling of Cry10Aa toxin from B. thuringiensis israelensis and B. thuringiensis subsp. LDC-9.
A Mahalakshmi and R Shenbagarathai
Abstract
A three dimensional model was developed for Cry10Aa protein sequence of B. thuringiensis LDC-9 and B. thuringiensis israelensis that has not been solved empirically by X-ray crystallography or NMR. Homology modeling was employed for the structure prediction using Cry2Aa as template protein, a high-r... | PMID: 20919752
