EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES OF MINIMALISTIC MOLLICUTES AS MEDIATORS OF IMMUNE MODULATION AND HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER

Extracellular vesicles of minimalistic Mollicutes as mediators of immune modulation and horizontal gene transfer

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are central components of bacterial secretomes, including the small, cell wall-less Mollicutes.Although EV release in Mollicutes has been reported, EV proteomic composition and function have not been explored yet.We developed a protocol for isolating EVs of the pathogens Mycoplasma mycoides subsp.capri (Mmc) an

Restriction of Influenza A Virus by SERINC5

ABSTRACT Serine incorporator 5 (Ser5), a transmembrane protein, has recently been identified as a host antiviral factor against Bar Speed Rails human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and gammaretroviruses like murine leukemia viruses (MLVs).It is counteracted by HIV-1 Nef and MLV glycogag.We have investigated whether it has antiviral activity against

Identification and Expression Analysis of Glucosinolate Biosynthetic Genes and Estimation of Glucosinolate Contents in Edible Organs of Brassica oleracea Subspecies

Glucosinolates are anti-carcinogenic, anti-oxidative biochemical compounds that defend plants from insect and microbial attack.Glucosinolates are abundant in all cruciferous crops, including all vegetable and oilseed Brassica species.Here, we studied the expression of glucosinolate biosynthesis genes and determined glucosinolate contents in the edi
