Background & Objective: Brucellosis is an important zoonotic disease of economic significance. Brucella species are gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria, and are capable of replicating in the phagosomes of macrophages. They cause infection in several animal species and humans. Prevention of new diseases and diagnosis of cases infected with the organism are both essential for eradic...
Biogenesis of β-barrel membrane proteins is a complex, multistep, and as yet incompletely characterized process. The bacterial porin family is perhaps the best-studied protein family among β-barrel membrane proteins that allows diffusion of small solutes across the bacterial outer membrane. In this study, we have identified residues that contribute significantly to the protein-protein interacti...
this review presents a brief outline of our current knowledge of the structure and chemical composition of the outer membrane vesicles (omvs), originating from the surface of gram negative bacteria including their outer membrane proteins and lipopolysaccharides. moreover, the functional roles and applications of omvs in medical research such as omv-based vaccines, omv adjuvants properties, omv ...
Recent research on the mechanism underlying the interaction of bacterial pathogens with their host has shifted the focus to secreted microbial proteins affecting the physiology and innate immune response of the target cell. These proteins either traverse the plasma membrane via specific entry pathways involving host cell receptors or are directly injected via bacterial secretion systems into th...
The transport of bacterial outer membrane proteins to their destination might be either a one-step process via the contact zones between the inner and outer membrane or a two-step process, implicating a periplasmic intermediate that inserts into the membrane. Furthermore, folding might precede insertion or vice versa. To address these questions, we have made use of the known 3D-structure of the...
Super-Resolution Imaging of Protein Secretion Systems and the Cell Surface of Gram-Negative Bacteria
Gram-negative bacteria have a highly evolved cell wall with two membranes composed of complex arrays of integral and peripheral proteins, as well as phospholipids and glycolipids. In order to sense changes in, respond to, and exploit their environmental niches, bacteria rely on structures assembled into or onto the outer membrane. Protein secretion across the cell wall is a key process in virul...
β-barrel membrane proteins play an important role in controlling the exchange and transport of ions and organic molecules across bacterial and mitochondrial outer membranes. They are also major regulators of apoptosis and are important determinants of bacterial virulence. In contrast to β-helical membrane proteins, their evolutionary pattern of residue substitutions has not been quantified, and...
In Gram-negative bacteria, outer membrane-associated lipoproteins can either face the periplasm or protrude out of the bacterial surface. The mechanisms involved in lipoprotein transport through the outer membrane are not fully elucidated. Some lipoproteins reach the surface by using species-specific transport machinery. By contrast, a still poorly characterized group of lipoproteins appears to...
Omp85 proteins are essential proteins located in the bacterial outer membrane. They are involved in outer membrane biogenesis and assist outer membrane protein insertion and folding by an unknown mechanism. Homologous proteins exist in eukaryotes, where they mediate outer membrane assembly in organelles of endosymbiotic origin, the mitochondria and chloroplasts. We set out to explore the homolo...
