A lipid zipper triggers bacterial invasion.
Glycosphingolipids are important structural constituents of cellular membranes. They are involved in the formation of nanodomains ("lipid rafts"), which serve as important signaling platforms. Invasive bacterial pathogens exploit these signaling domains to trigger actin polymerization for the bending of the plasma membrane and the engulfment of the bacterium--a key process in bacterial uptake. ...
متن کاملSpecific entry of Helicobacter pylori into cultured gastric epithelial cells via a zipper-like mechanism.
Although Helicobacter pylori has generally been considered an extracellular pathogen, a number of in vitro infection experiments and biopsy examinations have shown that it is capable of occasionally entering mammalian host cells. Here, we characterized this entry process by using AGS cells as a host cell model. In gentamicin protection-invasion assays, the number of H. pylori colonies recovered...
متن کاملLipid interactions during virus entry and infection
For entry and infection viruses have developed numerous strategies to subjugate indispensable cellular factors and functions. Host cell lipids and cellular lipid synthesis machinery are no exception. Not only do viruses exploit existing lipid signalling and modifications for virus entry and trafficking, they also reprogram lipid synthesis, metabolism, and compartmentalization for assembly and e...

متن کاملStereoselective synthesis of cyclopentanone-fused benzosultams through Tomita zipper cyclization.
A powerful intermolecular version of the Tomita zipper-cyclization (TZC) reaction was developed to provide functionalized drug-like cyclopentanone-fused benzosultams in good yields with excellent stereoselectivities using organophosphine-catalysis.
