NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE REGULATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL OUTER MEMBRANE PERMEABILIZATION DURING APOPTOSIS
… Mitochondria outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) and the release of intermembrane space proteins (e.g., cytochrome c) are early events during mitochondria-mediated apoptotic signaling. In addition, Apaf-1 is a critical component of the mitochondrial pathway and is generally thought to reside …

Origins of cell-to-cell variability in apoptosis
… mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), with little contribution from downstream reactions. More specifically, the rate of cleavage of initiator caspase substrates was highly predictive of a cell's death time. However, to determine whether (as opposed to when) a cell will die, …

Antigen Trafficking within <em>Chlamydia trachomatis</em>-Infected Polarized Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells.
… of the immunodominant chlamydial antigens MOMP, LPS, and cHsp60 within <em>C. trachomatis</em> serovar E-infected polarized human endometrial epithelial cells. Studies using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immuno-TEM report the novel escape mechanism of chlamydial …

A Comparison of Fluorescent Microscopy Methods for the Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis
… C. trachomatis major outer membrane protein (MOMP) antibodies, and (3) Trinity Biotech MicroTrak C. trachomatis culture confirmation kit. In the research setting, fluorescent microscopy techniques are widely used for quantification of C. trachomatis due to their high sensitivity. However, this …

Role of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in adverse pregnancy outcomes
… was more sensitive than a commercially available MOMP ELISA. My data suggests that Ct infection affects pregnancy during the implantation stage by impairing decidualisation and altering chemokine secretion predisposing for adverse pregnancy outcomes that include growth restriction during later …

Exploring the Activation Landscape of Pro-Apoptotic BAK Through the Discovery of Human BH3-Only and Non-Native Peptide Binders
… mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), release of cytochrome c, and ultimately cell death. The BH3 binding event leads to a series of conformational changes that promote the conversion of BAK from monomer to dimer and subsequently to oligomers that disrupt membranes in a process …

Induction of the <em>Chlamydia trachomatis</em> Persistent State by Herpes simplex Virus Type 2 Does Not Require Productive Viral Replication.
… Accumulation of chlamydial major outer membrane (MOMP) was decreased whereas pro-inflammatory chlamydial heat shock protein 60 (cHSP60) was increased in co-infected cells compared to <em>C. trachomatis</em> singly-infected cells. Among the cytokines looked at, an elevation in the levels of IL-6 …

Epidemiology of Chlamydiaceae in livestock and emerging Chlamydia psittaci infections in chickens
… chicken farms were tested by a C. psittaci MOMP-based ELISA. Ninety-six percent, 93% and 90% of the Belgian broilers, broiler breeders and layers were seropositive. Ninety-one percent of the French broilers were seropositive. In addition, tissues of 5 Belgian and 5 French broiler farms were …

Chlamydia trachomatis diversity and pathogenesis in young South African women, related to HPV prevalence and risk
… a median of 9 plasmids/bacteria (IQR, 7-13). CT MOMP type was inferred from ompA sequencing, with genovar E being the most common (accounting for 39.5%; 17/43 of infections), followed by genovar D (27.9%; 12/43 of infections). Using hr-MLST, a total of 27 CT sequence types (STs) were identified, …
