Heterogeneous bacterial persisters and engineering approaches to eliminate them.
Bacterial persistence is a state in which a subpopulation of cells (persisters) survives antibiotic treatment, and has been implicated in the tolerance of clinical infections and the recalcitrance of biofilms. There has been a renewed interest in the role of bacterial persisters in treatment failure in light of a wealth of recent findings. Here we review recent laboratory studies of bacterial p...
متن کاملProtein engineering of oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase into triterpene monocyclase.
A computational modeling/protein engineering approach was applied to probe H234, C457, T509, Y510, and W587 within Saccharomyces cerevisiae oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (ERG7), which spatially affects the C-10 cation of lanosterol formation. Substitution of Trp587 to aromatic residues supported the "aromatic hypothesis" that the π-electron-rich pocket is important for the stabilization of e...
متن کاملEngineering Increased Stability into Self-Assembled Protein Fibers
The design and engineering of self-assembled peptide-based materials is receiving increasing attention in materials science. This is partly because of the inspiration that biological materials provide to materials scientists; our improved ability to design, engineer and characterize peptides and proteins in general over the past decade; and the variety of potential applications for such materia...
متن کاملConversion of human choriogonadotropin into a follitropin by protein engineering.
Human reproduction is dependent upon the actions of follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH), luteinizing hormone (hLH), and chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). While the alpha subunits of these heterodimeric proteins can be interchanged without effect on receptor-binding specificity, their beta subunits differ and direct hormone binding to either LH/CG or FSH receptors. Previous studies employing chemica...
متن کاملEngineering nanoscale order into a designed protein fiber.
We have established a designed system comprising two peptides that coassemble to form long, thickened protein fibers in water. This system can be rationally engineered to alter fiber assembly, stability, and morphology. Here, we show that rational mutations to our original peptide designs lead to structures with a remarkable level of order on the nanoscale that mimics certain natural fibrous as...
