Bacteria secrete proteins for different purposes such as communication, virulence functions,
adhesion to surfaces, nutrient acquisition, or growth inhibition of competing bacteria. For …

Autotransport in Gram-negative bacteria denotes the ability of surface-localized proteins to
cross the outer membrane (OM) autonomously. Autotransporters perform this task with the …

Motivation Coiled coils are protein structural domains that mediate a plethora of biological
interactions, and thus their reliable annotation is crucial for studies of protein structure and …

Membrane proteins are largely underrepresented among available atomic-resolution
structures. The use of detergents in protein purification procedures hinders the formation of …

Communication between nucleus and cytoplasm extends past molecular exchange and
critically includes mechanical wiring. Cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton are connected via …

Gram‐negative bacteria are surrounded by two membranes, called the outer and inner
membranes. The space between these membranes, the periplasm, is spanned by a …

Among the seventeen species of the Gram-negative genus Yersinia, three have been shown
to be virulent and pathogenic to humans and animals—Y. enterocolitica, Y …

Autotransporters are widely distributed among Gram-negative bacteria. They can have a
large variety of functions and many of them have a role in virulence. They are synthesized as …

The trimeric autotransporter adhesin Yersinia adhesin A is the prototype of the type Vc
secretion systems. It is expressed by enteropathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia …

Chiral communications exist in secondary structures of foldamers and copolymers via a
network of noncovalent interactions within effective intermolecular force (IMF) range. It is not …
