Listeria monocytogenes Dampens the DNA Damage Response
The DNA damage response (DDR) is an essential signaling pathway that detects DNA lesions, which constantly occur upon either endogenous or exogenous assaults, and maintains genetic integrity. An infection by an invading pathogen is one such assault, but how bacteria impact the cellular DDR is poorly documented. Here, we report that infection with Listeria monocytogenes induces host DNA breaks. ...
متن کاملActivation of the Transducers of Unfolded Protein Response in Plants
Maintenance of homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ensures the balance between loading of nascent proteins and their secretion. Certain developmental conditions or environmental stressors affect protein folding causing ER stress. The resultant ER stress is mitigated by upregulating a set of stress-responsive genes in the nucleus modulating the mechanism of the unfolded protein respons...
متن کاملActivation of the unfolded protein response in aged human lenses.
Cataract formation is a multifactorial disease, induced by a variety of stressors. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced unfolded protein response (UPR) is known to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to apoptosis. The present study aimed to investigate whether activation of the UPR occurs in human lenses, using human lens epithelial cell (HLEC) lines and lenses obtained from ...
متن کاملIntracellular signaling by the unfolded protein response.
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an intracellular signaling pathway that is activated by the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). UPR activation triggers an extensive transcriptional response, which adjusts the ER protein folding capacity according to need. As such, the UPR constitutes a paradigm of an intracellular control mechanism that adjusts organelle ...
متن کاملAttenuating Listeria monocytogenes Virulence by Targeting the Regulatory Protein PrfA
The transcriptional activator PrfA, a member of the Crp/Fnr family, controls the expression of some key virulence factors necessary for infection by the human bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Phenotypic screening identified ring-fused 2-pyridone molecules that at low micromolar concentrations attenuate L. monocytogenes cellular uptake by reducing the expression of virulence genes. The...
