Delivery of a Chlamydial Adhesin N-PmpC Subunit Vaccine to the Ocular Mucosa Using Particulate Carriers
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2015)
Trachoma, caused by the intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), remains the world's leading preventable infectious cause of blindness. Recent attempts to develop effective vaccines rely on modified chlamydial ...
Recombinantly produced banana lectin isoform promotes balanced pro-inflammatory response in the colon
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2016)
Recombinant banana lectin isoform (rBanLec) attaches specifically to the mucosal surface, crosses the epithelial barrier and then directly affects the immune response in mouse colon. Structural characteristics, specificity ...
Identification of quorum-sensing-regulated genes of Burkholderia cepacia
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2003)
Quorum sensing is a regulatory mechanism (operating in response to cell density) which in gram-negative bacteria usually involves the production of N-acyl homoserine lactones (HSL). Quorum sensing in Burkholderia cepacia ...
Strain-dependent response to stimulation in middle-aged rat macrophages: A quest after a useful indicator of healthy aging
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Rats of Albino Oxford (AO) strain in our animal facility exhibit a longer average healthy life span than rats of Dark Agouit (DA) strain. Since chronic activation of macrophages contributes to chronic low level inflammation ...
Regulation of rpoS gene expression in Pseudomonas: involvement of a TetR family regulator
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2001)
The rpoS gene encodes the sigma factor which was identified in several gram-negative bacteria as a central regulator during stationary phase. rpoS gene regulation is known to respond to cell density, showing higher expression ...
Regulation of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid hydroxylase gene (pobA) in plant-growth-promoting Pseudomonas putida WCS358
(Soc General Microbiology, Reading, 2001)
The regulation of the p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase gene (pobA) of Pseudomonas putida WC5358 involved in the catabolism of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB) to the central intermediate protocatechuate was studied. Protocatechuic ...
The acetyl xylan esterase of Bacillus pumilus belongs to a family of esterases with broad substrate specificity
(Microbiology Soc, London, 2000)
The Bacillus pumilus gene encoding acetyl xylan esterase tare) was identified and characterized. The axe gene was expressed and the recombinant enzyme produced in Escherichia coli was purified and characterized. The ...
TetR family member PsrA directly binds the Pseudomonas rpoS and psrA promoters
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2002)
We have previously described a Pseudomonas gene, psrA, which enhances transcription of the rpoS sigma factor gene at stationary phase. We present molecular data which demonstrate that in Pseudomonas putida PsrA binds ...
Evaluation of the Possible Contribution of Antioxidants Administration in Metabolic Syndrome
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2011)
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is common, and its associated risk burdens of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a major public health problem. The hypothesis that main constituent parameters of the MetS share ...
Electronic cigarette liquids impair metabolic cooperation and alter proteomic profiles in V79 cells
(BMC Springer Nature, 2022)
Background: Although still considered a safer alternative to classical cigarettes, growing body of work points toharmful effects of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) affecting a range of cellular processes. The biological ...
