Biomechanical responses of encysted zoospores of the oomycete Achlya bisexualis to hyperosmotic stress are consistent with an ability to turgor regulate

Lacalendola N; Tayagui A; Ting M; Malmstrom J; Willmott GR; Garrill A; Nock, Volker (2022)

Zoospores are motile, asexual reproductive propagules that enable oomycete pathogens to locate and infect new host tissue. While motile, they have no cell wall and maintain tonicity with their external media using water ...
Three sites and you are out: Ternary synergistic allostery controls aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Blackmore, N.J.; Reichau, S.; Jiao, W.; Hutton, R.D.; Baker, E.N.; Jameson, G.B.; Parker, E.J. (University of Canterbury. Biomolecular Interaction Centre, 2013)

3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS) catalyzes the first step in the shikimate pathway, the pathway responsible for the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids Trp, Phe, and Tyr. Unlike many ...
