  2. 1. Coiled coil Cytoskeleton in Bacterial Cell Architecture : Studies of Growth and Development in Streptomyces

    Author : Sonchita Bagchi; Nora Ausmees; Joseph McCormick; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coiled coil proteins; Bacterial cytoskeleton; Differentiation; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Bacterial cytoskeleton is an exciting and relatively new field of research. Recent findings have proven that microbes are well-organized and neatly structured organisms. READ MORE

  4. 2. Coiled coil cytoskeleton in cell architecture and osmotic stress response in Streptomyces

    Author : Katsuya Fuchino; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coiled coil protein; Streptomyces coelicolor; polar growth; osmotic-stress response; turgor;

    Abstract : Coiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. Temperature-dependent structure and function of group A streptococcal M proteins

    Author : Tommy Cedervall; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; plasma protein; fibrinogen; temperature; hydrophobicity; coiled-coil; Ig-binding; M protein; group A streptococcus; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Temperature-dependent structure and function of group A streptococcal M proteins.This thesis describes the temperature-dependent structure of the members in the group A streptococcal M protein family. M proteins are cell-surface proteins that are important for the bacterial virulence and bind to a diverse set of human plasma proteins. READ MORE

  6. 4. YopD translocator function in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis type III secretion

    Author : Tiago R. D. Costa; Matthew S. Francis; William D. Picking; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Y. pseudotuberculosis; T3SS; translocon; YopD; coiled-coil; effector delivery; regulation; virulence; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Type III secretion systems (T3SS) are a common feature of Gram-negative bacteria, allowing them to inject anti-host effectors into the interior of infected eukaryotic cells. By this mechanism, these virulence factors help the bacteria to modulate eukaryotic cell function in its favor and subvert host innate immunity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on the coiled-coil protein TlpA in salmonella : a thermosensing transcription autoregulator

    Author : Reini Hurme; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : coiled-coilgene regulationrepressorthermoregulationSalmonella;

    Abstract : The coiled-coil motif is composed of amino acid heptad repeats with hydrophobic or apolar residues at conserved positions. Such repeats are responsible for the apolar stripe that is buried inside the coiled-coil structure formed upon coiling of two (or more) alpha-helical chains about each other. READ MORE
