Journal ArticleDOI

The intestinal fatty acid propionate inhibits Salmonella invasion through the post‐translational control of HilD

TL;DR: A mechanism of control of Salmonella virulence in which HilD is post‐translationally modified using the high‐energy intermediate propionyl‐CoA is suggested, suggesting modification of HilD with subsequent degradation as the means of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary Genomics of Salmonella enterica Subspecies

TL;DR: Analysis of nonsynonymous-to-synonymous substitution rates indicated that the more-recently acquired regions in S. enterica are undergoing faster fixation rates than the rest of the genome, indicating that recently acquired AT-rich regions, which often encode virulence functions, are under ongoing selection to maintain their high AT content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetrical distribution of CpG in an ‘average’ mammalian gene

TL;DR: The frequency and distribution of the rare dinucleotide CpG was examined in 15 mammalian genes and CpGs were asymmetrically distributed in sequences flanking the genes, reflecting the role of 5-methylcytosine in gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and sequence analysis of a 27-kilobase chromosomal fragment containing a Salmonella pathogenicity island located at 92 minutes on the chromosome map of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium LT2.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SPI-4 is needed for intramacrophage survival, which is the fourth Salmonella pathogenicity island to be identified and likely to carry a type I secretion system involved in toxin secretion.
