SopB promotes phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate formation on Salmonella vacuoles by recruiting Rab5 and Vps34

Description : Salmonella colonizes a vacuolar niche in host cells during infection. Maturation of the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) involves the formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) on its outer leaflet. SopB, a bacterial virulence factor with phosphoinositide phosphatase activity, was pro...

Interleukin-27R (WSX-1/T-Cell Cytokine Receptor) Gene-Deficient Mice Display Enhanced Resistance to Leishmania donovani Infection but Develop Severe Liver Immunopathology

Description : The interleukin-27 (IL-27)/T-cell cytokine receptor (TCCR) pathway plays an important role in development of protective immunity against cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major. In this study, we analyzed the role of IL-27/TCCR pathway in the host defense against visceral leishmaniasis (V...

Increased Insulin Sensitivity and Reduced Adiposity in Phosphatidylinositol 5-Phosphate 4-Kinase β−/− Mice

Description : Phosphorylated derivatives of the lipid phosphatidylinositol are known to play critical roles in insulin response. Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases convert phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate. To understand the physiological role of these kinases, we ...

Soluble ST2: A new and promising activity marker in ulcerative colitis

Description : AIM: To correlate circulating soluble ST2 (sST2) levels with the severity of ulcerative colitis (UC) and serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and to demonstrate the predictive power of sST2 levels for differentiation between active and inactive UC.

Chloroplast Omp85 proteins change orientation during evolution

Description : The majority of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) from Gram-negative bacteria and many of mitochondria and chloroplasts are β-barrels. Insertion and assembly of these proteins are catalyzed by the Omp85 protein family in a seemingly conserved process. All members of this family exhibit a characteristic...

Protein-Induced Modulation of Chloroplast Membrane Morphology

Description : Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is well established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations may affect the shape and organization of membran...

Microplate technique to determine hemolytic activity for routine typing of Listeria strains.

Description : Because the hemolysis produced by Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria seeligeri on blood agar is frequently difficult to interpret, we developed a microplate technique for the routine determination of hemolytic activity with erythrocyte suspensions. This microtechnique is a simple and reliable test ...

Butirosin, a New Aminoglycosidic Antibiotic Complex: Bacterial Origin and Some Microbiological Studies

Description : Butirosin, a new aminoglycosidic antibiotic complex, was produced by submerged fermentation with each of two strains of Bacillus circulans. A paper-disc, agar-diffusion assay which employs Escherichia coli (P-D 04863) as the test organism has been developed. Shaken-flask and stirred-jar fermentation...

Forest response to elevated CO2 is conserved across a broad range of productivity.

Description : Climate change predictions derived from coupled carbon-climate models are highly dependent on assumptions about feedbacks between the biosphere and atmosphere. One critical feedback occurs if C uptake by the biosphere increases in response to the fossil-fuel driven increase in atmospheric CO2 ("CO2 ...
