Engineering Hcp1 to Bind DNA
نویسنده
چکیده
Current deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) processing methods used for DNA sequencing and microarray analysis rely on restriction enzymes that produce oligonucleotides of heterogeneous lengths. Homogenous length DNA would be an advantage to chip based DNA analysis technologies as a way to reduce false positives (incorrect matches of complementary DNA). Nanotubes of discrete lengths could serve as a template for length specific DNA processing.

Expression of the Type VI Secretion System 1 Component Hcp1 Is Indirectly Repressed by OpaR in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is bacterial protein injection machinery with roles in virulence, symbiosis, interbacterial interaction, antipathogenesis, and environmental stress responses. There are two T6SS loci, T6SS1 and T6SS2, in the two chromosomes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, respectively. This work disclosed that the master quorum sensing (QS) regulator OpaR repressed the transcript...
متن کاملExtended Loop Region of Hcp1 is Critical for the Assembly and Function of Type VI Secretion System in Burkholderia pseudomallei
The Type VI Secretion System cluster 1 (T6SS1) is essential for the pathogenesis of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, a disease endemic in the tropics. Inside host cells, B. pseudomallei escapes into the cytosol and through T6SS1, induces multinucleated giant cell (MNGC) formation that is thought to be important for bacterial cell to cell spread. The hemolysin-coreg...
متن کاملComparison of O-polysaccharide and hemolysin co-regulated protein as target antigens for serodiagnosis of melioidosis
BACKGROUND Melioidosis is a severe disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Clinical manifestations are diverse and acute infections require immediate treatment with effective antibiotics. While culture is the current diagnostic standard, it is time-consuming and has low sensitivity. In endemic areas, inaccessibility to biosafety level 3 facilities and a lack of good serodiagnostic tools ca...
متن کاملIQGAP1 Mediates Hcp1-Promoted Escherichia coli Meningitis by Stimulating the MAPK Pathway
Escherichia coli-induced meningitis remains a life-threatening disease despite recent advances in the field of antibiotics-based therapeutics, necessitating continued research on its pathogenesis. The current study aims to elucidate the mechanism through which hemolysin-coregulated protein 1 (Hcp1) induces the apoptosis of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC). Co-immunoprecipitat...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of PCFT/HCP1 as the molecular entity of the carrier-mediated intestinal folate transport system in the rat model.
Proton-coupled folate transporter/heme carrier protein 1 (PCFT/HCP1) has recently been identified as a transporter that mediates the translocation of folates across the cellular membrane by a proton-coupled mechanism and suggested to be the possible molecular entity of the carrier-mediated intestinal folate transport system. To further clarify its role in intestinal folate transport, we examine...
