Bacterial lipoproteins are peripherally anchored membrane proteins that play a variety of
roles in bacterial physiology and virulence in monoderm (single membrane-enveloped, eg …

Bacterial lipoproteins are hydrophilic proteins that are anchored to a cell membrane by N-
terminally linked fatty acids. It is widely believed that nearly all lipoproteins produced by …

Abstract The Polysaccharide Utilization Loci (PUL) database was launched in 2015 to
present PUL predictions in∼ 70 Bacteroidetes species isolated from the human …

Motivation: A bacterial polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) is a set of physically linked
genes that orchestrate the breakdown of a specific glycan. PULs are prevalent in the …

Surface proteins play a critical role in the interaction between cells and their environment, as
they take part in processes like signaling, adhesion, transport, etc. In pathogenic …

Proteins expressed on the bacterial cell surface play important roles in infection and
virulence and can be targets for vaccine development or used as biomarkers. Surprisingly …

ABSTRACT The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is unique among bacteria in
its large number of lipoproteins that are encoded by a small, exceptionally fragmented, and …

The standard representation of the Central Dogma (CD) of Molecular Biology conspicuously
ignores metabolism. However, both the metabolites and the biochemical fluxes behind any …

Cell surface proteins are essential for many important biological processes, including cell–
cell interactions, signal transduction, and molecular transportation. With the characteristics of …

The carbohydrate-rich coating of human tissues and cells provide a first point of contact for
colonizing and invading bacteria. Commensurate with N-glycosylation being an abundant …
