  1. 11. Yersinia-phagocyte interactions during early infection

    Författare :Linda Westermark; Maria Fällman; Joan Mecsas; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia; dendritic cell; macrophage; neutrophil; T3SS; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Pathogenic Gram-negative Yersinia species preferentially target and inactivate phagocytic cells of the innate immune defense by translocation of effector Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the cells via a type III secretion system. This indicates that inactivation and avoidance of the early innate immune response is an efficient way for Yersinia species to avoid elimination and to cause diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis (Y.

  3. 12. Meticulous control of the T3SS of Yersinia is essential for full virulence

    Författare :Ann-Catrin Björnfot; Hans Wolf-Watz; Kelly T. Hughes; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Yersinia; type III secretion; YscU; substrate specificity switch; heat shock proteins; VagH; methyltransferase; virulence; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    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

  4. 13. Chemical attenuation of bacterial virulence : small molecule inhibitors of type III secretion

    Författare :Anna Kauppi; Mikael Elofsson; Anders Karlén; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibiotic resistance; virulence; type III secretion; T3SS inhibitors; Yop; SMD; QSAR; screening; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Despite the large arsenal of antibiotics available on the market, treatment of bacterial infections becomes more challenging in view of the fact that microbes develop resistance against existing drugs. There is an obvious need for novel drugs acting on both old and new targets in bacteria. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Regulation of the multi-functional protein YscU in assembly of the Yersinia type III secretion injectisome

    Författare :Ho Ngoc Hoang Oanh; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Maria Sunnerhagen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type III secretion system T3SS ; injectisome; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; inhibitors; Yops; YscU; YscP; YscI; disorder-to-order transition; nuclear magnetic resonance NMR ; circular dichroism CD ; isothermal titration calorimetry ITC ; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-negative zoonotic pathogenic bacterium causing gastroenteritis in human and animals. It shares a conserved virulence plasmid encoding for a needle-like secretion machinery, or type III secretion system, which can be found in other pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Coordinating type III secretion system biogenesis in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

    Författare :Jyoti Mohan Gurung; Matthew S Francis; Maria Fällman; Dirk Linke; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; type III secretion system; YscX; YscY; YopN; TyeA; secretion signal; N-terminal region; site-directed mutagenesis; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Various Gram-negative bacteria utilize type III secretion system (T3SS) to deliver effectors into eukaryotic host cells and establish mutualistic or pathogenic interactions. An example is the Ysc-Yop T3SS of pathogenic Yersinia species. LÄS MER
