Variations in silver stained nucleolar organiser regions(AgNORs) in normal, irradiated and neoplastic tissues
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2001)Nucleolar organiser regions (NORs) are loops of ribosomal DNA which contain the genes that transcribe to ribosomal RNA. They are situated on the short arm of the acrocentric human chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22. Several ... -
VirB-mediated positive feedback control of the virulence gene regulatory cascade of Shigella flexneri
(2012)Shigella flexneri is a facultative intracellular pathogen that relies on a type III secretion system and its associated effector proteins to cause bacillary dysentery in humans. The genes that encode this virulence system ... -
Virulence gene regulation by nucleoid associated proteins in Salmonella typhimurium : a role for Fis in Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 gene regulation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2004)Nucleoid associated proteins are involved in many diverse biological functions in S. typhimurium. In addition to their structural role within the genome they have been im plicated in transcriptional regulation of a variety ... -
When is a transcription factor a NAP?
(2020)Proteins that regulate transcription often also play an architectural role in the genome. Thus, it has been difficult to define with precision the distinctions between transcription factors and nucleoid-associated proteins ... -
Zinc-dependent mechanical properties of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-forming surface protein SasG
(2016)Staphylococcus aureus surface protein SasG promotes cell-cell adhesion during the accumulation phase of biofilm formation, but the molecular basis of this interaction remains poorly understood. Here, we unravel the mechanical ...
