  2. 1. RsbX and stress response in Listeria monocytogenes

    Author : Ana Henriques de Oliveira; Jörgen Johansson; Cormac Gahan; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Listeria monocytogenes; SigB; stressosome; RsbX; phosphorylation; growth; competitiveness; motility; energetic cost; homeostasis; stress response; virulence; invasion; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous foodborne Gram-positive bacterium. Despite being mainly a soil bacterium, it can reach the food processing environment and contaminate food destined for human consumption, causing outbreaks. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of extracellular ATP in immune mechanisms against infections

    Author : Lalitha Tadala; Andrea Puhar; Sara I Wilson; Bernt Eric Uhlin; Mikael Sellin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular ATP; invasive bacteria; Shigella; Listeria; plasma membrane ruffle; PIEZO1; infection; immune response; Hanta virus; molekylär cellbiologi; molecular cell biology;

    Abstract : Inflammation is driven either by infection with pathogens or sterile stimuli, such as tissue damage or autoimmune diseases. Upon tissue damage, ATP is released passively from the dead or compromised cells. During stress, ATP can be secreted from the cells. Extracellular ATP (eATP) acts as an endogenous danger signal.

  5. 3. Regulatory pathways and virulence inhibition in Listeria monocytogenes

    Author : Christopher Andersson; Jörgen Johansson; Debra Milton; Åke Forsberg; Claude Parsot; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Listeria monocytogenes; PrfA; ActA; infection; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Listeria monocytogenes is a rod-shaped Gram positive bacterium. It generally exist ubiquitously in nature, where it lives as a saprophyte. Occasionally it however enters the food chain, from where it can be ingested by humans and cause gastro-intestinal distress. In immunocompetent individuals L. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regulatory roles of two small RNAs in the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and the evaluation of an alternative infection model

    Author : Jonas Gripenland; Jörgen Johansson; Tom Geissmann; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small RNA; sRNA; Riboswitch; Listeria monocytogenes; ncRNA; PrfA; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Listeriosis is a potentially lethal disease caused by the Gram-positive facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes (L.m.). L. READ MORE

  7. 5. RNA-mediated virulence gene regulation in the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes

    Author : Edmund Loh; Jörgen Johansson; Nancy Freitag; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Listeria monocytogenes; virulence; ncRNAs; PrfA; 5´-UTRs; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The Gram-positive human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes uses a wide range of virulence factors for its pathogenesis. The majority of its virulence genes are encoded on a 9-kb pathogenicity island and are controlled by the transcriptional activator PrfA. READ MORE
