Bacteria are subject to many different varieties of biological conflict, like competition between different lineages of the same species, competition between different species or interactions between pathogenic bacteria and their hosts. When engaging in such conflicts, bacteria often deploy proteinaceous toxins that contain effector domains belonging to many different families and based o…
I am starting my activities as a lecturer in the Department of Microbiology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo. During my scientific carrier, I have been working with different class of proteins, such as conserved hypothetical proteins and proteins involved in type IV pili biogenesis, from Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri, a plant pathogen, in the laboratory of Prof…
The demand for new bioactive compounds has been increasing significantly, driven by the growing need for more efficient antibiotics against super-resistant bacteria. In this context, peptide natural products are compounds with broad functional diversity that include both ribosomal peptides (RiPPs) and non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs), whose synthesis is independent of the translation machine…
Recently, it has been demonstrated that the fusion of the AMT domain with cytoplasmic domains, endowed with histidine-kinase activity, resulted in the loss of its transporter function, transforming into a specific sensor for external levels of ammonia/ammonium. This process plays a crucial role in nitrogen fixation conducted by microorganisms, proving essential in biogeochemical cycles an…
The presence of refractile (R) bodies, potential toxin-delivery proteic structures able to stretch by biochemical influence, has been verified in some free living and endosymbiont bacteria, but the role and genomic context of reb genes responsible for its polymerization is not yet understood. RebB domain genes appear on genomes of proteobacteria, bacteroidetes and acidobacteria, generally…
