Abstract Borrelia spirochetes are unique among diderm bacteria in their lack of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer membrane (OM) and their abundance of surface-exposed lipoproteins with major roles in transmission, virulence, and pathogenesis. Despite their importance, little is known about how surface lipoproteins are translocated through the periplasm and the OM. Here, we characterized Borrelia burgdorferi BB0838, a distant homolog of the OM LPS assembly protein LptD.
A funny thing happened on the way to President Biden signing a historic, bipartisan, popular infrastructure bill—he lost popularity. His approval ratings sank. So what happened? The country’s chaotic departure from Afghanistan at the end of August definitely had an effect, as did the return of inflation.
We asked whether the pathogenesis of AD involves metabolic pathways, which are dependent on MPTAC. We examined the effects of MPTAC on metabolic enzymes, which might be impacted by Moco biosynthesis, through monitoring transcripts of the metabolic enzymes by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We extracted total RNA from HEK293 cells knocked down for MOCS2, which encodes both MOCS2A and MOCS2B (), and control using CRISPR constructs ( Figure 2 A).
