The Analytical Instrumentation Center of the University of São Paulo or "Central Analítica" (CA) is a core facility that supports all research carried out at the Institute of Chemistry (IQ-USP). Founded in 1986, CA houses 37 large and medium-size equipment. CA instruments are made available to researchers from IQ-USP or from other institutions and also from companies. CA instruments have …
A large fraction of the proteome of various organisms corresponds to polypeptides that do not form a defined three-dimensional structure. An entirely disordered polypeptide is known as an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP), and a segment of a protein that devoids a stable three-dimensional structure is called an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). It is increasingly recognized that…
The CEPID B3 is a network with research hubs based in São Paulo (IQ-USP, ICB-USP), Campinas (IB-UNICAMP, IAC), Ribeirão Preto (FCFRP-USP, FMRP-USP) and Rio Claro (UNESP) that will collaborate to carry out cutting edge basic research into molecular mechanisms that are of prime importance to understand bacterial reproduction, multicellular behavior, competition, colonization and interaction…
Na+/Ca2+ exchangers (NCX) are membrane proteins that use the electrochemical gradient of Na+ to remove Ca2+ from the cytosol. They are essential for the maintenance of the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in various cell types, especially in excitable cells. CALX, the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger from Drosophila melanogaster, is found in sensory neuronal cells. It displays a unique regulatory behavio…
This proposal takes advantage of the visit of Dr. Adrien Favier to Rio de Janeiro in the occasion of the "4th French-Brazilian Symposium on Biosciences", to bring him to visit the University of São Paulo.Adrien is a CNRS research engineer associated with the NMR group at the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS), in Grenoble. Adrien has a PhD in physics, and postdoctoral training in prot…
Bacterial macromolecular protein secretion systems are large (multi-mega Dalton) multiprotein complexes that transport effector proteins through bacterial membranes to the extracellular milieu or directly into the cytoplasm of other cells. These systems also mediate the horizontal transfer of genetic material (conjugation) between bacterial cells and specialized homologous forms of these …

Bacterial Type IV Secretion Systems (T4SSs) are nanomachines that transport effector proteins or protein-DNA complexes to the extracellular milieu or to a target cell. The Xanthomonas citri T4SS (XAC-T4SS) belongs to the class of minimized T4SSs. Minimized T4SSs consist of eleven VirB subunits (VirB1 to VirB11) and the coupling protein VirD4. Expanded T4SSs have acquired additional subuni…
Leishmaniasis is a class of neglected diseases caused by different species of the Leishmania genus, of the Trypanosomatidae family. The hypothetical protein encoded by the LmxM.34.3070 gene was first identified in Leishmania mexicana. Using the amino acid sequence of LmxM.34.3070, structure predictions by different methods (PHYRE2, RaptorX, and AlphaFold) pointed out the presence of a dom…
Bacteria use a variety of secretion systems to translocate macromolecules across the bacterial cell envelope. The Type IV Secretion System (T4SS) of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri is responsible for the secretion of toxins that kill other Gram-negative bacteria. The T4SS are very large molecular assemblies formed by two subcomplexes, the core complex (~ 1 MDa) and the inner membrane …
