Glycosylation of proteins is one of the most prevalent post-translational modifications
occurring in nature, with a wide repertoire of biological implications. Pathways for the main …

This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of

Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen of the cystic fibrosis lung that elicits
a strong inflammatory response. B. cenocepacia employs a type VI secretion system (T6SS) …

Pollen allergies have been rapidly increasing over the last decades. Many allergenic
proteins and non-allergenic adjuvant compounds of pollen are involved in the plant defense …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are at particular risk of infection by microorganisms that are
resistant to several antibiotics. About 3% of CF patients are colonized by Burkholderia …

The identification of the virulence factors of plant‐pathogenic bacteria has relied on the
testing of individual mutants on plants, a time‐consuming process. Transposon sequencing …

Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium that causes serious
respiratory infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. Recently, we discovered that B …

The DedA family is a conserved membrane protein family found in most organisms. A
Burkholderia thailandensis DedA family protein, named DbcA, is required for high-level …

Prior to infection, phytopathogenic bacteria face a challenging environment on the plant
surface, where they are exposed to nutrient starvation and abiotic stresses. Pathways …

Protein secretion is almost universally employed by bacteria. Some proteins are retained on
the cell surface, whereas others are released into the extracellular milieu, often playing a …
