1. Meticulous control of the T3SS of Yersinia is essential for full virulence
Sammanfattning : The type III secretion system (T3SS) of pathogenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is involved in virulence. The syringe-like secretion system spans both bacterial membranes and is responsible for the ability of Yersinia to transfer toxic proteins (Yop proteins) into the eukaryotic target cell. LÄS MER
2. A strategy to identify novel antimicrobial compounds : a bioinformatics and HTS approach
Sammanfattning : Bacterial infections are again becoming difficult to treat because the microbes are growing increasingly resistant to the antibiotics in use today. The need for novel antimicrobial compounds is urgent and to achieve this new targets are crucial. In this thesis we present a strategy for identification of such targets via a bioinformatics approach. LÄS MER
3. The multifunctional GAP protein YopE of Yersinia is involved in effector translocation control and virulence
Sammanfattning : The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pseudotuberculosis employs a type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to establish infections. The T3SS translocates a diverse set of effector proteins directly into the host cells. LÄS MER
4. Delivery of TypeIII Secreted Toxins by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis : the Role of LcrV, YopD, and Free Lipids in the Translocation Process
Sammanfattning : Bacteria that infect humans and animals face a hard combat with the host´s immune system and in order to establish infection, pathogenic bacteria has evolved mechanisms to avoid being cleared from the host tissue. Many Gram-negatives carry a Type 3 secretion (T3S) system that is used to deliver effector proteins (toxins) into host cells. LÄS MER
5. Characterization of ATP-dependent protein dynamics under native-like conditions
Sammanfattning : Proteins are biological macromolecules capable of accelerating biochemical reactions. To accomplish this, proteins undergo changes in their molecular structure. Advances in structural biology have resulted in ever-increasing numbers of high-resolution protein structures. LÄS MER
