Proteins from the core genome of Corynebacterium ulcerans respond for pathogenicity and reveal promising vaccine targets for diphtheria

Andressa O. Aragao et al.

Summary: Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emerging pathogen capable of transmitting diphtheria to humans, for which there is currently no vaccine available. This study used reverse vaccinology to identify potential vaccine targets at the genomic level, providing detailed information for the development of a new vaccine against diphtheria.

Two New M23 Peptidoglycan Hydrolases With Distinct Net Charge

Alicja Wysocka et al.

Summary: Bacterial peptidoglycan hydrolases play crucial roles in bacterial growth, division, and elimination of closely related species, and this study identified two new hydrolases from Staphylococcus pettenkoferi. These enzymes, named SpM23_B and SpM23_A, share similarities in structure and function but differ in gene distribution, biological role, and isoelectric points. The research presents a detailed characterization of the novel hydrolases to better understand their role in bacterial physiology.

Expasy, the Swiss Bioinformatics Resource Portal, as designed by its users

Severine Duvaud et al.

Summary: The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics offers a range of bioinformatics services and resources through Expasy, supporting a wide range of research areas. The redesign of Expasy in 2020 with a user-centric approach aimed to create an easy-to-use interface and provide accurate descriptions of high-quality resources. This User-Centred Design (UCD) approach, widely used in other fields, is still relatively unexplored in bioinformatics.

Yin and Yang: A disrupted skin microbiome and an aberrant host immune response in hidradenitis suppurativa

Stephanie L. Schell et al.

Summary: In inflammatory skin disorders, dysbiosis of the skin microbiome may contribute to disease initiation or exacerbation, forming a chronic positive feed-forward loop with host immune response, leading to chronic inflammation, tissue destruction, and disease exacerbation.

Structural Characterization of EnpA D,L-Endopeptidase from Enterococcus faecalis Prophage Provides Insights into Substrate Specificity of M23 Peptidases

Piotr Henryk Malecki et al.

Summary: The M23 family members, such as lysostaphin or LytM, are well-characterized glycyl-glycine hydrolases. Enzymes like EnpA(CD) from Enterococcus faecalis exhibit a broad specificity for cleaving D,L peptide bonds. The substrate-binding groove architecture and specificity of M23 enzymes suggest that they prefer peptides with short side chains or alternating chirality of amino acids.
