  2. 6. Superantigens in group A streptococcus : gene diversity and humoral immune response

    Author : Linda Maripuu; Mari Norgren; Susan Hollingshead; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Group A streptococcus; Streptococcus pyogenes; superantigen SAg ; SAg-gene profile; M-protein; emm-genotype; biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap; biomedical laboratory science;

    Abstract : Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a strictly human pathogen that causes infections ranging from asymptomatic carriage to the highly lethal streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). GAS are classified according to the sequence of the variable 5’ end of the emm-gene that encodes the surface associated M-protein. READ MORE

  4. 7. Multifaceted RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms in Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Anaïs Le Rhun; Emmanuelle Charpentier; Franz Narberhaus; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Streptococcus pyogenes; small RNAs; CRISPR; Cas9; tracrRNA; RNases; gene expression; RNA sequencing; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Bacterial pathogens rely on precise regulation of gene expression to coordinate host infection processes and resist invasion by mobile genetic elements. An interconnected network of protein and RNA regulators dynamically controls the expression of virulence factors using a variety of mechanisms. READ MORE

  5. 8. Post-transcriptional regulation by RNases in Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Anne-Laure Lécrivain; Emmanuelle Charpentier; Bernt Eric Uhlin; Tracy Nissan; Ciarán Condon; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Post-transcriptional regulation; mRNA decay; RNA sequencing; RNase Y; RNase III; YhaM; PNPase; RNase R; RNase J1; Streptococcus pyogenes.; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Ribonucleases (RNases) are proteins that adjust cellular RNA levels by processing RNA transcripts, leading to their stabilization or degradation. RNases are grouped based on their ability to cleave the transcript internally (endoRNases) or degrade the transcript starting from the ends (exoRNases). READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies on secreted cysteine proteases of Streptococcus pyogenes : IdeS and SpeB

    Author : Reine Vindebro; Ulrich von Pawel-Rammingen; Wolfgang Knecht; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Streptococcus pyogenes; Group A Streptococci; GAS; virulence factor; IdeS; SpeB; cysteine protease; protease inhibitor; IgG; immune evasion; molekylär bioteknik inst f molekylärbiologi ; molecular biotechnology dept of molecular biology ;

    Abstract : The pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality. Most of the work in this thesis is focused on streptococcal virulence factor IdeS, but the thesis also features work on SpeB, another streptococcal virulence factor. READ MORE

  7. 10. Pathogen-host interactions at the surface of Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Patrik Nyberg; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infektioner; Infections; C3a; LL-37; antimicrobial peptide; GRAB; alpha-2-macroglobulin; proteolysis; SpeB; internalization; virulence; protein F1; Streptococcus pyogenes; fibronectin;

    Abstract : The bacterial surface can be thought of as the interface where pathogenic bacteria encounter the human host. Interactions between bacterial surface proteins and human proteins are important determinants of the eventual outcome of infection. READ MORE
