The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system is a specialised protein export pathway that facilitates the translocation of fully folded proteins across the bacterial inner membrane. Unlike ...
Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...
Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the microbiome.
These images captured using high-speed atomic force microscopy, represent the snapshots of the protein substrate getting translocated through the SecYEG-SecA complex. The left image indicates the ...
Targeted protein degradation presents a promising strategy to address antimicrobial resistance, focusing on innovative ...
Bacteria have evolved sophisticated antiphage systems that halt phage replication upon detecting specific phage triggers. Identifying phage triggers is crucial to our understanding of immune ...
A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...
siMecA-AGO2 complex inhibits the translation of the mecA gene which encodes the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), a protein at the heart of the drug-resistance phenotype in MRSA. By reducing ...
