Journal ArticleDOI
Coping with low pH: molecular strategies in neutralophilic bacteria
TL;DR: The current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms adopted by a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria for coping with acid stress is reviewed, paying particular attention to Escherichia coli extreme acid resistance mechanisms, the activity of which ensure survival and may be directly linked to virulence.
Book ChapterDOI
Microbial molecular chaperones.
TL;DR: The evidence for the existence and role of the major cytoplasmic molecular chaperones in the cell will be discussed, mainly from the physiological point of view but also in relationship to their known structure, function and mechanism of action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural basis of inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DprE1 by benzothiazinone inhibitors

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the BTZ target, FAD-containing oxidoreductase Mycobacterium tuberculosis DprE1, is reported, which shows considerable levels of structural flexibility of two surface loops that seem to govern accessibility of the active site and demonstrates that binding of BTZ-class inhibitors to DPRE1 is not strictly dependent on formation of the covalent link to Cys387.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing bactericidal mechanisms induced by cold atmospheric plasmas with Escherichia coli mutants
Stefano Perni,Gilbert Shama,Jon L. Hobman,Peter A. Lund,Christopher J. Kershaw,G.A. Hidalgo-Arroyo,Charles W. Penn,Xu-Tao Deng,James L. Walsh,Michael G. Kong +9 more
TL;DR: By interplaying bacterial inactivation kinetics with optical emission spectroscopy, oxygen atoms are identified as a major contributor in plasma inactivation with minor contributions from UV photons, OH radicals, singlet oxygen metastables, and nitric oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple chaperonins in bacteria--why so many?
TL;DR: There is good evidence for at least some specificity of function in multiple chaperonin genes, and this work will review the genetic, biochemical, and phylogenetic evidence that has a bearing on this question.
