Elongation factor thermal unstable Tu (EF-Tu) is a G protein that catalyzes the binding of
aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of the ribosome inside living cells. Structural and biochemical …

Biofilm formation is a social behaviour that generates favourable conditions for sustained
survival in the natural environment. For the Gram‐positive bacterium B acillus subtilis the …

Genomic studies have revealed the presence of Ser/Thr kinases and phosphatases in many
bacterial species, although their physiological roles have largely been unclear. Here we …

Protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) is generally
considered the major regulatory posttranslational modification in eukaryotic cells. Increasing …

Protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) is well established
as a key regulatory posttranslational modification in eukaryotes, but little is known about its …

The important human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been linked to numerous
biofilm-related chronic infections. Here, we demonstrate that biofilm formation following the …

Acidic environments encountered in food products and during gastrointestinal tract passage
affect the survival of bacteria that are marketed as probiotics. In this study, the global …

Tyrosine phosphorylation is a key device in numerous cellular functions in eukaryotes, but in
bacteria this protein modification was largely ignored until the mid-1990s. The first …

Translation elongation is a key step of protein synthesis, during which the nascent
polypeptide chain extends by one amino acid residue during one elongation cycle. More …

Reversible protein phosphorylation is a major regulation mechanism of fundamental
biological processes, not only in eukaryotes but also in bacteria. A growing body of evidence …
