Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal epidemics of cholera inversely correlate with the prevalence of environmental cholera phages.
Shah M. Faruque,Iftekhar Bin Naser,M. Johirul Islam,Abu Syed Golam Faruque,A. N. Ghosh,G. Balakrish Nair,David A. Sack,John J. Mekalanos +7 more
TL;DR: The data support the conclusion that cholERA phages can influence cholera seasonality and may also play a role in emergence of new V. cholerae pandemic serogroups or clones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Draxin, a repulsive guidance protein for spinal cord and forebrain commissures.
Shahidul M. Islam,Yohei Shinmyo,Tatsuya Okafuji,Tatsuya Okafuji,Yuhong Su,Iftekhar Bin Naser,Giasuddin Ahmed,Sanbing Zhang,Sandy Chen,Kunimasa Ohta,Hiroshi Kiyonari,Takaya Abe,Satomi S. Tanaka,Ryuichi Nishinakamura,Toshio Terashima,Toshio Kitamura,Hideaki Tanaka +16 more
TL;DR: Draxin is a previously unknown chemorepulsive axon guidance molecule required for the development of spinal cord and forebrain commissures and is identified as a secreted protein that shares no homology with known guidance cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Draxin inhibits axonal outgrowth through the netrin receptor DCC.
Giasuddin Ahmed,Yohei Shinmyo,Kunimasa Ohta,Shahidul M. Islam,Mahmud Hossain,Iftekhar Bin Naser,M. Asrafuzzaman Riyadh,Yuhong Su,Sanbing Zhang,Marc Tessier-Lavigne,Hideaki Tanaka +10 more
TL;DR: DCC is identified as a convergent receptor for netrin anddraxin in axon growth and guidance, and double heteros of draxin/Dcc mice show markedly higher frequency of complete agenesis of corpus callosum than either of the single hetero.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum Regulated Resistance of Vibrio cholerae against Environmental Bacteriophages.
M. Mozammel Hoque,Iftekhar Bin Naser,S. M. Nayeemul Bari,Jun Zhu,John J. Mekalanos,Shah M. Faruque +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that bacterial cell density-dependent gene expression termed “quorum sensing” which is regulated by signal molecules called autoinducers (AIs) can protect V. cholerae against predatory phages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Sequence and Receptor for the Vibrio cholerae Phage KSF-1Φ: Evolutionary Divergence among Filamentous Vibriophages Mediating Lateral Gene Transfer
Shah M. Faruque,Iftekhar Bin Naser,Kazutaka Fujihara,Pornphan Diraphat,Nityananda Chowdhury,M. Kamruzzaman,Firdausi Qadri,Shinji Yamasaki,A. N. Ghosh,John J. Mekalanos +9 more
TL;DR: KSF-1phi, a novel filamentous phage of Vibrio cholerae, supports morphogenesis of the RS1 satellite phage by heterologous DNA packaging and facilitates horizontal gene transfer and its phylogenetic relationships with other filamentous vibriophages are analyzed.
