Opposing Roles of Calcium and Intracellular ATP on Gating of the Purinergic P2X2 Receptor Channel
(MDPI, Basel, 2018)
P2X2 receptors (P2X2R) exhibit a slow desensitization during the initial ATP application and a progressive, calcium-dependent increase in rates of desensitization during repetitive stimulation. This pattern is observed in ...
Formation of silica aggregates in sorghum root endodermis is predetermined by cell wall architecture and development
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2017)
Background and Aims Deposition of silica in plant cell walls improves their mechanical properties and helps plants to withstand various stress conditions. Its mechanism is still not understood and silica-cell wall interactions ...
Can untreated PKU patients escape from intellectual disability? A systematic review
(BMC, London, 2018)
Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is often considered as the classical example of a genetic disorder in which severe symptoms can nowadays successfully be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, untreated ...
Structure and function of PspA and Vipp1 N-terminal peptides: Insights into the membrane stress sensing and mitigation
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The phage shock protein (Psp) response maintains integrity of the inner membrane (IM) in response to extracytoplasmic stress conditions and is widely distributed amongst enterobacteria. Its central component PspA, a member ...
Microbial Production of Violacein and Process Optimization for Dyeing Polyamide Fabrics With Acquired Antimicrobial Properties
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
In the present study, crude bacterial extract containing violacein is investigated for the preparation of antimicrobial polyamide fabrics. The optimal culture conditions of Janthinobacterium lividum (JL) for maximum biomass ...
GABA-Producing Natural Dairy Isolate From Artisanal Zlatar Cheese Attenuates Gut Inflammation and Strengthens Gut Epithelial Barrier in vitro
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2019)
Probiotic bacteria are recognized for their health-promoting properties, including maintenance of gut epithelial integrity and host immune system homeostasis. Taking into account the beneficial health-promoting effects of ...
From qualitative data to quantitative models: analysis of the phage shock protein stress response in Escherichia coli
(BMC, London, 2011)
Background: Bacteria have evolved a rich set of mechanisms for sensing and adapting to adverse conditions in their environment. These are crucial for their survival, which requires them to react to extracellular stresses ...
Shortening of the Lactobacillus paracasei subsp paracasei BGNJ164 AggLb Protein Switches Its Activity from Auto-aggregation to Biofilm Formation
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2016)
AggLb is the largest (318.6 kDa) aggregation-promoting protein of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei BGNJ1-64 responsible for forming large cell aggregates, which causes auto-aggregation, collagen binding and pathogen ...
Negative Regulation of Violacein Biosynthesis in Chromobacterium violaceum
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2017)
In Chromobacteium violaceum, the purple pigment violacein is under positive regulation by the N-acylhomoserine lactone CviI/R quorum sensing system and negative regulation by an uncharacterized putative repressor. In this ...
Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from Serbia: Revision of CarO Classification
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2015)
Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii present a significant therapeutic challenge for the treatment of nosocomial infections in many European countries. Although it is known that the gradient of A. baumannii prevalence increases ...
