Characterization of a Staphylococcus aureus multi-enzyme complex involved in the phenotypic switch and host-pathogen interactions
RNA homeostasis is maintained by synchronizing RNA synthesis and RNA degradation. These processes are synchronized to growth conditions and environmental stimuli, thus enabling bacterial survival in diverse environmental ... -
Deep Mutational Scanning Analyses of Protein Stability and Function
Full text Embargo up to Sep 2026 Protein stability is critical to understanding protein function, folding, and interactions within living organisms. It plays a key role in protein engineering, where designing stable ... -
Identification, characterization, structure, and assembly of type III toxin-antitoxin systems from Escherichia coli
Bacteria adopt several defense strategies to enable their survival against the environmental threats they encounter from time to time. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are being understood as a key bacterial defense mechanism ... -
Solution NMR Studies Of E.Coli Acetohydroxy Acid Synthase (AHAS) I
(2010-04-13)Branched chain amino acids are classified as essential amino acids since their biosynthetic routes or pathways are restricted only to micro-organisms, fungi and plants. Given their unique distribution, the enzymes of the ... -
Structural and functional characterization of a bacterial TenpIN type III toxin-antitoxin system and its potential as an antibacterial strategy
Bacterial type III toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were first identified as abortive infection systems wherein a phage infection causes altruistic suicide of the bacterium to prevent bacteriophage spread among its clonal ... -
Understanding Bacterial Heterogeneity in Gene Expression Under Specific and Global Regulatory Control
Intrinsic heterogeneity in natural bacterial populations enable them to escape sudden changes in environment and evolve. Processes like cellular crosstalk, abiotic interactors, host interactions, intracellular signalling ... -
Understanding the interaction mechanism of bacterial virulence factors and effector proteins with host lipid membrane using single particle cryo-electron microscopy
Pathogenic bacteria employ an array of biological macromolecules and cellular structures that help in the initiation and progression of disease in host organism. These ‘virulence factors’ can either be secreted by the ...
