Discovery of virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria.
Discovering virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria is a key in understanding pathogenesis and for identification of targets for novel drugs and design of new vaccines. Comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics have become the popular tools in discovering the virulence factors in bacterial pathogens, such as Neisseria meningitidis, Yersinia pestis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and S...
متن کاملER stress response mechanisms in the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata and their roles in virulence
The maintenance of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is critical for numerous aspects of cell physiology. Eukaryotic cells respond to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER (ER stress) by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR), an intracellular signaling pathway that adjusts the folding capacity of the ER. Recent studies of several pathogenic fungi have revealed that the ...
متن کاملEffects of the twin-arginine translocase on secretion of virulence factors, stress response, and pathogenesis.
A novel secretion pathway originally found in plants has recently been discovered in bacteria and termed TAT, for "twin-arginine translocation," with respect to the presence of an Arg-Arg motif in the signal sequence of TAT-secreted products. However, it is unknown whether the TAT system contributes in any way to virulence through the secretion of factors associated with pathogenesis or stress ...
متن کاملTHE RESPONSE OF FOLIAR PROTEINS IN TWO WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) CULTIVARS TO SALT STRESS
Effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swellen, flowering and anthesis) in two wheat cultivars (Ghods: salt – sensitive, Boolani: salt – resistant) on SDS-PAGE electrophoretic pattern of leaf proteins was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatments, the decrease in protein...
متن کاملEffect of rpoS mutation on the stress response and expression of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The sigma factor RpoS (sigmaS) has been described as a general stress response regulator that controls the expression of genes which confer increased resistance to various stresses in some gram-negative bacteria. To elucidate the role of RpoS in Pseudomonas aeruginosa physiology and pathogenesis, we constructed rpoS mutants in several strains of P. aeruginosa, including PAO1. The PAO1 rpoS muta...
