Journal ArticleDOI

A truncated HIV-1 Tat protein basic domain rapidly translocates through the plasma membrane and accumulates in the cell nucleus

TL;DR: The main determinants required for Tat translocation within this sequence are delineated by synthesizing several peptides covering the Tat domain from residues 37 to 60 and the domain extending from amino acid 37 to 47, which corresponds to the α-helix structure, is not required for cellular uptake and for nuclear translocation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new evolutionary scenario for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex

TL;DR: The distribution of 20 variable regions resulting from insertion-deletion events in the genomes of the tubercle bacilli has been evaluated and contradict the often-presented hypothesis that M. tuberculosis, the etiological agent of human tuberculosis evolved from M. bovis, the agent of bovine disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of RD1 contributed to the attenuation of the live tuberculosis vaccines Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Mycobacterium microti.

TL;DR: A genetic lesion is described that contributes to safety and opens new avenues for vaccine development and resulted in a marked change in colonial morphology towards that of virulent tubercle bacilli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant BCG exporting ESAT-6 confers enhanced protection against tuberculosis.

TL;DR: Mice and guinea pigs vaccinated with the recombinant strain BCG::RD1-2F9 were better protected against challenge with M. tuberculosis, showing less severe pathology and reduced dissemination of the pathogen, as compared with control animals immunized with BCG alone.
