Separable roles for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESX-3 effectors in iron acquisition and virulence.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) encodes five type VII secretion systems (T7SS), designated ESX-1-ESX-5, that are critical for growth and pathogenesis. The best characterized is ESX-1, which profoundly impacts host cell interactions. In contrast, the ESX-3 T7SS is implicated in metal homeostasis, but efforts to define its function have been limited by an inability to recover deletion mutants. W...
متن کاملSeparable ATPase and membrane insertion domains of the SecA subunit of preprotein translocase.
The SecA subunit of preprotein translocase drives ATP-dependent translocation of preproteins across the bacterial inner membrane concomitant with cycles of membrane insertion and de-insertion (Economou, A., and Wickner, W. (1994) Cell 78, 835-843). We have identified the membrane-inserting region of SecA as a 30-kDa domain in the C-terminal third of the protein beginning at aminoacyl residue 61...
متن کاملChanges in Reproductive Hormones Secretion Involved in Quantum Dots-induced Reproductive Toxicity in Adult Male Mice
Background and Aims: Quantum dots (QDs), as colloidal nanocrystalline semiconductors, present QD wavelengths in terms of biomedical assays and imaging, though the high toxicity of their core demands to be taken into consideration. Investigating this subject is taken into account as an important concept concerning use of these nanoparticles in the medical applications. Materials a...
متن کاملDistinct and separable roles for EZH2 in neurogenic astroglia
The epigenetic mechanisms that enable specialized astrocytes to retain neurogenic competence throughout adult life are still poorly understood. Here we show that astrocytes that serve as neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) express the histone methyltransferase EZH2. This Polycomb repressive factor is required for neurogenesis independent of its role in SVZ NSC ...
متن کاملThe ATPase and protease domains of yeast mitochondrial Lon: roles in proteolysis and respiration-dependent growth.
The ATP-dependent Lon protease of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria is required for selective proteolysis in the matrix, maintenance of mitochondrial DNA, and respiration-dependent growth. Lon may also possess a chaperone-like function that facilitates protein degradation and protein-complex assembly. To understand the influence of Lon's ATPase and protease activities on these functions, we...
