(2011-10-21)Bacteriophage holins are a diverse group of proteins that are responsible for the spontaneous and specifically-timed triggering of host cell lysis. The best-studied holin, S105 of phage lambda, is known to form lesions, ...
-
(2014-12-16)Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has been difficult to eradicate from hospital settings due to its ability to form biofilm and colonize biotic and abiotic surfaces. Phages may represent ...
-
(2012-10-19)Like all phages, T4 requires a holin (T) to effect lysis. The lysis event depends on the temporally regulated action of T, which accumulates in the inner membrane (IM) until, at an allele-specific time, it triggers to ...
-
(2018-04-18)Beef cattle production in the United States is faced with restricted access to previously used feed-grade antibiotics, deemed medically important, under the 2017 Veterinary Feed Directive. Suitable alternatives should be ...
-
(2023-04-19)Human salmonellosis is a common foodborne illness that can result from contaminated food, including beef products. Bovine lymph nodes, which may harbor Salmonella, are difficult to separate from adipose tissues that are ...
-
(2012-04-20)The use of bacteriophages offers an appealing alternative to antibiotics for the control of pathogenic bacteria. Recently, bacteriophage AbauYa1 was isolated as part of an effort to find phages to combat Acinetobacter ...
-
(2013-09-26)The lambda lysis genes Rz and Rz1 play an important role at the final step of bacterial cell lysis. Rz encodes an integral inner membrane protein and Rz1 encodes an outer membrane lipoprotein. These two proteins form a ...
-
(2018-11-25)Bacteriophages previously found in the feedlot environment may play a role in the ecology of Salmonella in the feedlot environment and also prove useful as a means of controlling this pathogen in beef. The ability of a ...
-
(2015-11-18)Phage mediated lysis of bacteria is one of the most common events in the biosphere, and a greater understanding of phage lysis mechanisms may lead to the development of novel antibacterial therapies. As they encode a single, ...
-
(2017-12-01)Cellular decision making is a ubiquitous process among all life forms, and a key step that organisms take to integrate the environmental signals to choose an optimal response to improve their overall fitness. The genetic ...
-
(2011-08-08)Structural biology lays the molecular foundation for the modern field of life sciences. In this thesis, X-ray crystallography is the primary resource for atomic detail structural information and is the major technology ...
-
(1984)Viruses which infect bacteria are called bacteriophages; the bacteriophage lambda (λ) infects certain strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli K12. Near the right end of the linear DNA of bacteriophage lambda, from the ...
-
In this study, we use the bacteriophage lambda and E. coli model system to examine the effects of lambda DNA replication on the lysis-lysogeny decision. In the lytic pathway, lambda’s structural and lysis genes are rapidly ...
-
(2020-04-30)The single-stranded (ss) RNA bacteriophage Qβ, which infects piliated bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli, requires several RNA-protein interactions for successful infection. Based on modeling the RNA secondary structure ...
