Bacteriocins — a viable alternative to antibiotics?

TL;DR: Although the application of specific bacteriocins might be curtailed by the development of resistance, an understanding of the mechanisms by which such resistance could emerge will enable researchers to develop strategies to minimize this potential problem.

Discovery of microbial natural products by activation of silent biosynthetic gene clusters.

TL;DR: This Review discusses the strategies that have been developed in bacteria and fungi to identify and induce the expression of silent BGCs, and briefly summarize methods for the isolation and structural characterization of their metabolic products.

The Pfam protein families database

TL;DR: The definition and use of family-specific, manually curated gathering thresholds are explained and some of the features of domains of unknown function (also known as DUFs) are discussed, which constitute a rapidly growing class of families within Pfam.

Accelerated Profile HMM Searches

TL;DR: An acceleration heuristic for profile HMMs, the “multiple segment Viterbi” (MSV) algorithm, which computes an optimal sum of multiple ungapped local alignment segments using a striped vector-parallel approach previously described for fast Smith/Waterman alignment.

Genetics of bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria

TL;DR: The biochemical and genetic characteristics of these antimicrobial proteins are reviewed and common elements are discussed between the different classes of bacteriocins produced by these Gram-positive bacteria.

Structure of P-glycoprotein reveals a molecular basis for poly-specific drug binding.

TL;DR: P-glycoprotein detoxifies cells by exporting hundreds of chemically unrelated toxins but has been implicated in multidrug resistance (MDR) in the treatment of cancers and a structural description of poly-specific drug-binding is important for the rational design of anticancer drugs and MDR inhibitors.

Assembly-line enzymology for polyketide and nonribosomal Peptide antibiotics: logic, machinery, and mechanisms.

TL;DR: Christopher T. Walsh is the Hamilton Kuhn Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (BCMP) at Harvard Medical School and has had extensive experience in academic administration, including Chairmanship of the MIT Chemistry Department and the HMS Biological Chemistry & molecular Pharmacology Department.
