| a single amino acid of a salmonella virulence protein contributes to pathogenicity by protecting from the ftsh-mediated proteolysis. | ftsh is a membrane-bound atp-dependent protease in bacteria that is critical for degrading membrane proteins. the mgtc virulence protein from salmonella enterica is located at the inner membrane and required for survival inside macrophages. here we report that a single substitution at tryptophan 226 of the mgtc protein to alanine promotes the ftsh-mediated proteolysis. the trp residue is located at the very c-terminus of the cytoplasmic domain of the mgtc protein and conserved only in intracellu ... | 2015 | 25900124 |
| colorimetric biosensing of targeted gene sequence using dual nanoparticle platforms. | we have developed a colorimetric biosensor using a dual platform of gold nanoparticles and graphene oxide sheets for the detection of salmonella enterica. the presence of the inva gene in s. enterica causes a change in color of the biosensor from its original pinkish-red to a light purplish solution. this occurs through the aggregation of the primary gold nanoparticles-conjugated dna probe onto the surface of the secondary graphene oxide-conjugated dna probe through dna hybridization with the ta ... | 2015 | 25897217 |
