A large subfamily of the type IV secretion systems (T4SSs), termed the conjugation systems,
transmit mobile genetic elements (MGEs) among many bacterial species. In the initiating …

Quorum sensing plays crucial roles in bacterial communication including in the process of
conjugation, which has large economical and health-related impacts by spreading antibiotic …

Cellular machines formed by the interaction and assembly of macromolecules are essential
in many processes of the living cell. These assemblies involve homo-and hetero …

During conjugation, a conjugative DNA element is transferred from a donor to a recipient cell
via a connecting channel. Conjugation has clinical relevance because it is the major route …

Covalent modification cycles (CMCs) are basic units of signaling systems and their
properties are well understood. However, their behavior has been mostly characterized in …

My research is oriented towards the understanding of how MGEs operate, ie their intimate
propagation mechanisms (modes of transfer, integration, and regulation), in vitro as well as …

L'étude de la dynamique de conjugaison des plasmides conjugatifs chez les bactéries Gram-
négatif est la thématique centrale de recherche de notre laboratoire et autour de laquelle s' …

The following literature review is dedicated to autonomous genetic elements (AGE) of
bacteria that are widespread in various genomes. AGE encode functions that are not …

La existencia de proteínas relacionadas con el factor H (FHR) en el ratón se conoce desde
hace algún tiempo, pero aún no está claro su equivalencia funcional, si la hay, con las FHR …
