Magnetite Biomineralization in Magnetospirillum magneticum Is Regulated by a Switch-like Behavior in the HtrA Protease MamE.

Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic organisms that produce subcellular magnetic particles in order to orient in the earth's geomagnetic field. MamE, a predicted HtrA protease required to produce magnetite crystals in the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1, was recently shown to promote the proteolytic processing of itself and two other biomineralization factors in vivo Her...

MAME: A Compression Function with Reduced Hardware Requirements

This paper describes a new compression function, MAME designed for hardware-oriented hash functions which can be used in applications reduced hardware requirements. MAME takes a 256-bit message block and a 256-bit chaining variable as input and produces a 256-bit output. Seen in the light of attacks on MD5 and SHA-1, our design strategy enables us to evaluate the security of MAME against known ...

Rules for minimal atomic multipole expansion of molecular fields.

A nonempirical minimal atomic multipole expansion (MAME) defines atomic charges or higher multipoles that reproduce electrostatic potential outside molecules. MAME eliminates problems associated with redundancy and with statistical sampling, and produces atomic multipoles in line with chemical intuition.

Magnetochrome: a c-type cytochrome domain specific to magnetotatic bacteria.

Magnetotactic bacteria consist of a group of taxonomically, physiologically and morphologically diverse prokaryotes, with the singular ability to align with geomagnetic field lines, a phenomenon referred to as magnetotaxis. This magnetotactic property is due to the presence of iron-rich crystals embedded in lipidic vesicles forming an organelle called the magnetosome. Magnetosomes are composed ...
