| acid residues in the transmembrane helices of the na+-pumping nadh:quinone oxidoreductase from vibrio cholerae involved in sodium translocation. | vibrio cholerae and many other marine and pathogenic bacteria possess a unique respiratory complex, the na(+)-pumping nadh:quinone oxidoreductase (na(+)-nqr), which pumps na(+) across the cell membrane using the energy released by the redox reaction between nadh and ubiquinone. to function as a selective sodium pump, na(+)-nqr must contain structures that (1) allow the sodium ion to pass through the hydrophobic core of the membrane and (2) provide cation specificity to the translocation system. ... | 2009 | 19694431 |
| spermidine regulates vibrio cholerae biofilm formation via transport and signaling pathways. | vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the devastating diarrheal disease cholera, can form biofilms on diverse biotic and abiotic surfaces. biofilm formation is important for the survival of this organism both in its natural environment and in the human host. development of v. cholerae biofilms are regulated by complex regulatory networks that respond to environmental signals. one of these signals, norspermidine, is a polyamine that enhances biofilm formation via the nsps/mbaa signaling system. ... | 2009 | 19694812 |
| vibrio cholerae proteome-wide screen for immunostimulatory proteins identifies phosphatidylserine decarboxylase as a novel toll-like receptor 4 agonist. | recognition of conserved bacterial components provides immediate and efficient immune responses and plays a critical role in triggering antigen-specific adaptive immunity. to date, most microbial components that are detected by host innate immune system are non-proteinaceous structural components. in order to identify novel bacterial immunostimulatory proteins, we developed a new high-throughput approach called "epsia", expressed protein screen for immune activators. out of 3,882 vibrio cholerae ... | 2009 | 19696891 |
