| persisting onychomycosis caused by fusarium solani in an immunocompetent patient. | we present a patient with a fusarium solani infection of both distal thumbnails. she suffered from basedow's disease but had no signs of reduced immunity. the patient declined antimycotic treatment and the infection was still verifiable after 5 years. our observation shows that a superficial f. solani infection may persist in immunocompetent patients without causing noteworthy discomfort. because a superficial f. solani infection may give origin to a systemic infection it should always be treate ... | 2009 | 18643888 |
| synthetic affinity ligands as a novel tool to improve protein stability. | cutinase from fusarium solani pisi is the model-system for a new approach to assess and enhance protein stability based on the use of synthetic triazine-scaffolded affinity ligands as a novel protein-stabilizing tool. the active site of cutinase is excluded from the main surface regions postulated to be involved in early protein's thermal unfolding events. hence, these regions are suitable targets for binding complementary affinity ligands with a potential stabilizing effect. a random solid-phas ... | 2009 | 18654989 |

| bacteria and free-living amoeba in the lascaux cave. | the lascaux cave was discovered in 1940, and by 1960 it had received up to 1800 daily visitors. in 1963, the cave was closed and in 2001 it was invaded by a fusarium solani species complex which was treated for four years with benzalkonium chloride. however, lascaux cave bacteria have only been poorly investigated. here we show that the cave is now a reservoir of potential pathogenic bacteria and protozoa which can be found in outbreaks linked to air-conditioning systems and cooling towers in co ... | 2009 | 18977432 |
| catalysis by glomerella cingulata cutinase requires conformational cycling between the active and inactive states of its catalytic triad. | cutinase belongs to a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of esters and triglycerides. structural studies on the enzyme from fusarium solani have revealed the presence of a classic catalytic triad that has been implicated in the enzyme's mechanism. we have solved the crystal structure of glomerella cingulata cutinase in the absence and in the presence of the inhibitors e600 (diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate) and petfp (3-phenethylthio-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one) to resolutions between ... | 2009 | 18983850 |

| improvement of sec-dependent secretion of a heterologous model protein in bacillus subtilis by saturation mutagenesis of the n-domain of the amye signal peptide. | due to the lack of an outer membrane, gram-positive bacteria (e.g., bacillus species) are considered as promising host organisms for the secretory production of biotechnologically relevant heterologous proteins. however, the yields of the desired target proteins were often reported to be disappointingly low. here, we used saturation mutagenesis of the positively charged n-domain (positions 2-7) of the signal peptide of the bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase (amye) as a novel approach for the improv ... | 2010 | 20077115 |
| two cutinase-like proteins secreted by mycobacterium tuberculosis show very different lipolytic activities reflecting their physiological function. | cutinases are extracellular enzymes that are able to degrade cutin, a polyester protecting plant leaves and many kinds of lipids. although cutinases are mainly found in phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria, 7 genes related to the cutinase family have been predicted in the genome of mycobacterium tuberculosis. these genes may encode proteins that are involved in the complex lipid metabolism of the bacterium. here, we report on the biochemical characterization of two secreted proteins of m. tuberculo ... | 2010 | 20103719 |
