Bacterial L-forms on tap: an improved methodology to generate Bacillus subtilis L-forms heralds a new era of research
(2012)Bacterial L-forms are cell wall-less forms of bacteria that usually grow with a conventional cell wall. Despite being important for research, L-forms are difficult to generate reproducibly and research in this area is ... -
Caspase-1 promiscuity is counterbalanced by rapid inactivation of the processed enzyme.
(2011)Members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases coordinate the highly disparate processes of apoptosis and inflammation. However, while hundreds of substrates for the apoptosis effector caspases (caspase-3 and caspase-7) ... -
Caspase-dependent inactivation of proteasome function during programmed cell death in Drosophila and man
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004)The caspase family of cysteine proteases plays a conserved role in the coordinate demolition of cellular structures during programmed cell death from nematodes to man. Because cells undergoing programmed cell death in ... -
Evolutionary Origins of the Fumonisin Secondary Metabolite Gene Cluster in Fusarium verticillioides and Aspergillus niger
(SAGE-Hindawi, 2011)The secondary metabolite gene clusters of euascomycete fungi are among the largest known clusters of functionally related genes in eukaryotes. Most of these clusters are species specific or genus specific, and little is ... -
Genetic and expression analysis of cattle identifies candidate genes in pathways responding to Trypanosoma congolense infection.
(2011)African bovine trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma sp., is a major constraint on cattle productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Some African Bos taurus breeds are highly tolerant of infection, but the potentially more ... -
Genomic islands in the pathogenic filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus
(PLoS, 2008)We present the genome sequences of a new clinical isolate of the important human pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus, A1163, and two closely related but rarely pathogenic species, Neosartorya fischeri NRRL181 and Aspergillus ... -
Interchain proteolysis, in the absence of a dimerization stimulus, can initiate apoptosis-associated caspase-8 activation
(2004)Caspases coordinate the internal demolition of the cell that is seen during apoptosis. Proteolytic processing of caspases is observed during apoptosis, and this correlates with conversion of inactive caspase proenzymes ...
