Melittin triggers apoptosis in Candida albicans through the reactive oxygen species‐mediated mitochondria/caspase‐dependent pathway
Abstract
Melittin is one of the best‐studied antimicrobial peptides, and many studies have focused on the membrane underlying its membrane‐disruptive activity. We previously showed that melittin could cause some hallmarks of apoptosis in Candida albicans. Here, we first report the exact mechanism of melittin‐induced fungal apoptosis. We first characterized the reactive oxygen species generated by melittin. The results showed that melittin strongly produced highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), which contribute to cell death. Next, we showed that melittin also disrupted the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm)...

Characterization of tetA‐like gene encoding for a major facilitator superfamily efflux pump in Streptococcus thermophilus
Abstract
Efflux pumps are membrane proteins involved in the active extrusion of a wide range of structurally dissimilar substrates from cells. A multidrug efflux pump named TetA belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transporters was identified in the Streptococcus thermophilus DSM 20617T genome. The tetA‐like gene was found in the genomes of a number of S. thermophilus strains sequenced to date and in Streptococcus macedonicus ACA‐DC 198, suggesting a possible horizontal gene transfer event between these two Streptococcus species, which are both adapted to the milk environment. Flow cytometry (single...

Rapid Degradation of Pseudomonas fluorescens 1‐Aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic Acid Deaminase (PfAcdS) Proteins Expressed in Transgenic Arabidopsis
In conclusion, our data suggest that the plant growth‐promoting effects of bacterial AcdS proteins are potentially modulated via protein turnover inside the host plant cells. Such post‐translational modification plays a physiological role in the mutualistic interactions between microbials and plants in the rhizospheric and/or endospheric niche.
