Modulation of Host miRNAs by Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein coding genes of viruses and eukaryotes at the post-transcriptional level. The eukaryotic genes regulated by miRNAs include those whose products are critical for biological processes such as cell proliferation, metabolic pathways, immune response, and development. It is now increasingly recognized that modulatio...
متن کاملBacterial toxins.
Many bacterial toxins are proteins, encoded by the bacterial chromosomal genes, plasmids or phages. Lysogenic phages form part of the chromosome. The toxins are usually liberated from the organism by lysis, but some are shed with outer membrane proteins in outer membrane vesicles. An important non-protein toxin is lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin, which is a constituent of the cell wall of gram ...
متن کاملIntracellular C. neoformans modulates macrophage NF-κB signaling 1 MODULATION OF MACROPHAGE INFLAMMATORY NF-κB SIGNALING BY INTRACELLULAR CRYPTOCOCCUS NEOFORMANS
Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is a sporeforming, intracellular pathogenic yeast found in soil and other niches worldwide (1). Inhalation of spores is thus extremely common, allowing Cn to infect ~70% of children in urban environments (2). In most cases Cn infections do not present immediate clinical symptoms; rather, Cn is able to enter a chronic latent state that may last for many years by resi...
متن کاملCross-talk between the Notch and TGF-β signaling pathways mediated by interaction of the Notch intracellular domain with Smad3
The Notch and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathways play critical roles in the control of cell fate during metazoan development. However, mechanisms of cross-talk and signal integration between the two systems are unknown. Here, we demonstrate a functional synergism between Notch and TGF-beta signaling in the regulation of Hes-1, a direct target of the Notch pathway. Act...
متن کاملInhibiting bacterial toxins by channel blockage.
Emergent rational drug design techniques explore individual properties of target biomolecules, small and macromolecule drug candidates, and the physical forces governing their interactions. In this minireview, we focus on the single-molecule biophysical studies of channel-forming bacterial toxins that suggest new approaches for their inhibition. We discuss several examples of blockage of bacter...
