Mechanistic insights into metal ion activation and operator recognition by the ferric uptake regulator
Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) plays a key role in the iron homeostasis of prokaryotes, such as bacterial pathogens, but the molecular mechanisms and structural basis of Fur-DNA binding remain incompletely understood. Here, we report high-resolution structures of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 Fur in four different states: apo-Fur, holo-Fur, the Fur-feoAB1 operator complex and the Fur-Ps...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into c-di-GMP-dependent control of the biofilm regulator FleQ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Bacterial biofilm formation during chronic infections confers increased fitness, antibiotic tolerance, and cytotoxicity. In many pathogens, the transition from a planktonic lifestyle to collaborative, sessile biofilms represents a regulated process orchestrated by the intracellular second-messenger c-di-GMP. A main effector for c-di-GMP signaling in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aerugi...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into the inhibition of Sec61-dependent co- and post-translational translocation by mycolactone
The virulence factor mycolactone is responsible for the immunosuppression and tissue necrosis that characterise Buruli ulcer, a disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans In this study, we confirm that Sec61, the protein-conducting channel that coordinates entry of secretory proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum, is a primary target of mycolactone, and characterise the nature of ...
متن کاملMechanistic Insights into CO2 Activation via Reverse Water−Gas Shift on Metal Surfaces
By the means of density functional theory calculations, we find that CO2 activation via reverse water−gas shift (r-WGS) follows different elementary steps on different metals (Pt, Rh, Ni, Cu, Ag, and Pd). We relate these differences to the interactions between the adsorbed oxygen and the metals, which strongly affect the dissociation activation energy. In particular, CO2 dissociation is favored...
متن کاملDaphnia magna ecotoxicogenomics provides mechanistic insights into metal toxicity.
Toxicogenomics has provided innovative approaches to chemical screening, risk assessment, and predictive toxicology. If applied to ecotoxicology, genomics tools could greatly enhance the ability to understand the modes of toxicity in environmentally relevant organisms. Daphnia magna, a small aquatic crustacean, is considered a "keystone" species in ecological food webs and is an indicator speci...
