Recent evidence established that the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus causing tuberculosis (TB), is coated by an α-glucan-containing capsule that has been implicated in persistence in a mouse infection model. As one of three... Read More about Synthesis of α-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2.

Complete genome sequence of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium U288 (2013)
Journal Article

A suggested classification for two groups of Campylobacter myoviruses (2013)
Journal Article
Javed, M. A., Ackermann, H.-W., Azeredo, J., Carvalho, C. M., Connerton, I., Evoy, S., …Kropinski, A. M. (2014). A suggested classification for two groups of Campylobacter myoviruses. Archives of Virology, 159(1), 181-190. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00705-013-1788-2

Most Campylobacter bacteriophages isolated to date have long contractile tails and belong to the family Myoviridae. Based on their morphology, genome size and endonuclease restriction profile, Campylobacter phages were originally divided into three g...

Cold-induced changes in gene expression in brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue and liver (2013)
Journal Article
Shore, A. M., Karamitri, A., Kemp, P., Speakman, J. R., Graham, N. S., & Lomax, M. A. (2013). Cold-induced changes in gene expression in brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue and liver. PLoS ONE, 8(7), Article e68933. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0068933

Cold exposure imposes a metabolic challenge to mammals that is met by a coordinated response in different tissues to prevent hypothermia. This study reports a transcriptomic analysis in brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose (WAT) and liver of mic...

BACKGROUND

Signal Regulatory Protein γ (SIRPγ) is a member of a closely related family of three cell surface receptors implicated in modulating immune/inflammatory responses. SIRPγ is expressed on T lymphocytes where it appears to be involved in t... Read More about Crystal structure of signal regulatory protein gamma (SIRPγ) in complex with an antibody Fab fragment.

Transient exposure to low levels of insecticide affects metabolic networks of honeybee larvae (2013)
Journal Article
