Characterization of mycobacterial virulence genes through genetic interaction mapping.
We have previously shown that approximately 5% of the genes encoded by the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are specifically required for the growth or survival of this bacterium during infection. This corresponds to hundreds of genes, most of which have no identifiable function. As a unique approach to characterize these genes, we developed a method to rapidly delineate functional pathways...
متن کاملPrediction of Gain in LD-CELP Using Hybrid Genetic/PSO-Neural Models
In this paper, the gain in LD-CELP speech coding algorithm is predicted using three neural models, that are equipped by genetic and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms to optimize the structure and parameters of neural networks. Elman, multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and fuzzy ARTMAP are the candidate neural models. The optimized number of nodes in the first and second hidden layers of El...

متن کاملGenetic requirements for mycobacterial survival during infection.
Despite the importance of tuberculosis as a public health problem, we know relatively little about the molecular mechanisms used by the causative organism, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to persist in the host. To define these mechanisms, we have mutated virtually every nonessential gene of M. tuberculosis and determined the effect disrupting each gene on the growth rate of this pathogen during in...
متن کاملGamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidases: Structure and Function
Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidases (c-GTs) belong to the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase superfamily, enzymes that cleave the c-glutamyl amide bond of glutathione to give cysteinylglycine. The released c-glutamyl group can be transferred to water (hydrolysis) or to amino acids or short peptides (transpeptidation). c-GT plays a key role in the gamma-glutamyl cycle by regulating the cellular levels ...
