Intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase as a consequence of oxidative
stress and represent a major source of damage to biomolecules. Due to its high cellular …

Elongation factor P (EF-P) is required for the efficient synthesis of proteins with stretches of
consecutive prolines and other motifs that would otherwise lead to ribosome pausing. …

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are the macromolecules that transfer activated amino acids from
aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases to the ribosome, where they are used for the mRNA guided …

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the leading cause of human gastroenteritis
in the industrialized world and an emerging threat in developing countries. The incidence …

Ribosome stalling during translation can be caused by a number of characterized mechanisms.
However, the impact of elongation stalls on protein levels is variable, and the reasons for …

In bacteria, the translation of genetic information can begin through at least three different
mechanisms: canonical or Shine-Dalgarno-led initiation, readthrough or 70S scanning …

Glutamyl-tRNA (Glu-tRNA), formed by Glu-tRNA synthetase (GluRS), is a substrate for
protein biosynthesis and tetrapyrrole formation by the C 5 pathway. In this route Glu-tRNA is …

Bacterial oxidative stress responses are generally controlled by transcription factors that
modulate the synthesis of RNAs with the aid of some sRNAs that control the stability, and in …

Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and an emerging
and neglected pathogen in South America. This zoonotic pathogen colonizes the …

Integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) are self-transferred mobile genetic elements that
contribute to horizontal gene transfer. An ICE (ICEAfe1) was identified in the genome of …
