Self-complementary chimeric oligonucleotides (COs) composed of DNA and modified RNA residues were evaluated as a means to (i) create stable, site-specific base substitutions in a nuclear gene and (ii) introduce a frameshift in a nuclear transgene in plant cells. To demonstrate the creation of allele-specific mutations in a member of a gene family, COs were designed to target the codon for Pro-1...

In bacteria, ribosome-bound Trigger Factor assists the folding of newly synthesized proteins. The N-terminal domain (N) of Trigger Factor mediates ribosome binding, whereas the middle domain (P) harbors peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity. The function of the C-terminal domain (C) has remained enigmatic due to structural instability in isolation. Here, we have characterized a stabilized version ...

BACKGROUND Rickettsia heilongjiangensis, the agent of Far-Eastern spotted fever (FESF), is an obligate intracellular bacterium. The surface-exposed proteins (SEPs) of rickettsiae are involved in rickettsial adherence to and invasion of host cells, intracellular bacterial growth, and/or interaction with immune cells. They are also potential molecular candidates for the development of diagnostic ...
