The most common quorum sensing (QS) system in Gram-negative bacteria occurs via N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHLs) signals. An archetypical system consists of a LuxI-family protein synthesizing the AHL signal which binds at quorum concentrations to the cognate LuxR-family transcription factors which then control gene expression by binding to specific sequences in target gene promoters. QS LuxR-family proteins are approximately 250 amino acids long and made up of two domains; at the N-terminus there is an autoinducer-binding domain whereas the C-terminus contains a DNA-binding helix-turn-helix (HTH) domain. QS LuxRs display surprisingly low similarities (18-25%) even if they respond to structur...
Anne e Isabel iam todos os dias para a única escola em Vila do Encanto, onde se conheceram e embarcaram juntas em uma aventura diária: liam histórias de amor no grande campo verde da vila. Quando Isabel adoeceu, faltou às aulas e ao encontro no campo. Ali, elas descobriram, por fim, o que realmente sentiam uma pela outra: Amor. O incrível, empolgante e saudoso primeiro amor. Anne ainda se impressionava quando ouvia a amiga falar, pois falava com tanta emoção e convicção, que parecia saída de um livro encantado. Ela inspirou profundamente o ar puro do campo e o cheiro da amiga. Em seguida sorriu para Isabel, que lhe sorriu de volta, com um olhar tão apaixonado que foi impossível, para ambas, passar despercebido. Elas ficaram sem graça por um momento; Isabel abaixou a cabeça e Anne ficou olhando a sua volta. Segundos depois começaram a discutir sobre os livros de Jane Austen.
Brazil's Zika outbreak revealed extreme health disparities and reproductive injustice across racial and socioeconomic lines. Brazil's 2015 Zika outbreak led to severe illnesses for many and the birth of several thousands of children with severe brain damage. Even though mosquito-borne diseases such as the Zika virus affect people across society, these children were born almost exclusively to poor, and usually non-white, women. In Viruses and Reproductive Injustice, Ilana Löwy explores the complicated health disparities and reproductive injustice that led to these cases of congenital Zika syndrome. Löwy examines the history of the outbreak in Brazil and connects it to broader questions conc...
The need for state-of-the-art antimicrobial agents is greater than ever because of the development of multidrug resistance in communal pathogens, the rapid rise of new infections, and the potential for use of multidrug-resistant agents in biological protection. Although the need for novel antimicrobials is increasing, the development of such agents faces significant obstacles. Pharmaceutical research and development costs are estimated to be $400–$800 million per approved agent. The most important natural antimicrobial compounds derived from various plant sources containing a wide variety of secondary metabolites. With collected contributions from international subject experts, this volume...
