Innate immune proteins also regulate cytoskeletal dynamics to effectively restrict bacterial pathogens, highlighting the interdependence between the cytoskeleton and cell-autonomous immunity.

This would be similar to how the chemotherapy drug, taxol, suppresses the motion of the cytoskeleton in cancer cells. Bacterial cell division as target The rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria ...

Actin and tubulin are the major components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton ... the bacterial homologue of tubulin and MreB is the homologue of actin. FtsZ is a key player in bacterial cell division ...

They provide structure for the body and tissues, enter wounds to close them or chase down bacteria in our blood. The mobility of cells is a prerequisite for a variety of essential biological functions ...

The researchers then employed the Crispr platform, in which two proteins are used to insert genetic code into the DNA of target cells - in this case, those of E.coli bacteria. For the gif ...

The Xanthomonas bacteria, known as the “crop killer”, is a globally ... which serve as the structure of a cell. The actin cytoskeleton is responsible for how a cell mounts a defence against pathogens.

Surrounded by nutrients and undetected by the immune system, the interior of a cell is the ideal place for pathogenic bacteria to reproduce ... Septins are part of the cytoskeleton and serve ...

Researchers of the University of Freiburg have discovered that septins – a part of the cytoskeleton ... on the surface of the bacteria. - The team working with cell biologists Prof.
