Deinococcus bacteria are famous for their extreme resistance to ionising radiation and other
DNA damage-and oxidative stress-generating agents. More than a hundred genes have …

The folding of transmembrane proteins into the outer membrane presents formidable
challenges to Gram-negative bacteria. These proteins must migrate from the cytoplasm …

Pyrroloquinoline-quinine (PQQ) was initially characterized as a redox cofactor for membrane-
bound dehydrogenases in the bacterial system. Subsequently, PQQ was shown to be an …

Membrane-embedded β-barrel proteins span the membrane via multiple amphipathic β-
strands arranged in a cylindrical shape. These proteins are found in the outer membranes of …

Phosphorus (P) is the second most crucial nutrient for plant growth after nitrogen. However,
its highly reactive nature causes formation of insoluble derivatives and limits uptake by the …

ABSTRACT In Escherichia coli, YaeT, together with four lipoproteins, YfgL, YfiO, NlpB, and
SmpA, forms a complex that is essential for β-barrel outer membrane protein biogenesis …

The evolutionarily conserved protein Omp85 is required for outer membrane protein (OMP)
assembly in gram-negative bacteria and in mitochondria. Its Escherichia coli homolog …

Two‐component systems are predominant signal transduction pathways in prokaryotes, and
also exist in many archaea as well as some eukaryotes. A typical TCS consists of a histidine …

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes several kinds of infections,
including pneumonia, bacteremia, urinary tract infection and community-acquired pyogenic …

Deinococcus radiodurans mutant lacking pyrroloquinoline–quinone (PQQ) synthesis shows
sensitivity to γ‐rays and impairment of DNA double strand break repair. The genome of this …
