Viruses, microRNAs, and Host InteractionsAnnual Review of Microbiology - Tập 64 Số 1 - Trang 123-141 - 2010
Rebecca L. Skalsky, Bryan R. Cullen
One of the most significant recent advances in biomedical research has been the discovery of the ∼22-nt-long class of noncoding RNAs designated microRNAs (miRNAs). These regulatory RNAs provide a unique level of posttranscriptional gene regulation that modulates a range of fundamental cellular processes. Several viruses, especially herpesviruses, also encode miRNAs, and over 200 viral miR...... hiện toàn bộ
SPONTANEOUS MUTATORS IN BACTERIA: Insights into Pathways of Mutagenesis and RepairAnnual Review of Microbiology - Tập 50 Số 1 - Trang 625-643 - 1996
Jeffrey H Miller
Mutators are cells that have a higher mutation rate than the wild type. Such mutators have been extensively studied in bacteria, and this has led to the elucidation of a number of important DNA repair pathways, as well as revealing new pathways of mutagenesis. Repair defects in humans that lead to mutator phenotypes are responsible for a number of cancer susceptibilities. In some cases, t...... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular Determinants ofListeria monocytogenesVirulenceAnnual Review of Microbiology - Tập 58 Số 1 - Trang 587-610 - 2004

▪ Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is the etiological agent of listeriosis, a severe human foodborne infection characterized by gastroenteritis, meningitis, encephalitis, abortions, and perinatal infections. This gram-positive bacterium is a facultative intracellular pathogen that induces its own uptake into nonphagocytic cells and spreads from cell to cell using an actin-based motility pr...... hiện toàn bộ
Plant-Growth-Promoting RhizobacteriaAnnual Review of Microbiology - Tập 63 Số 1 - Trang 541-556 - 2009
Ben Lugtenberg, Faina Kamilova
Several microbes promote plant growth, and many microbial products that stimulate plant growth have been marketed. In this review we restrict ourselves to bacteria that are derived from and exert this effect on the root. Such bacteria are generally designated as PGPR (plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria). The beneficial effects of these rhizobacteria on plant growth can be direct or indir...... hiện toàn bộ
