Biochemical, structural and functional analysis of the cell division site determinant MinD(Ng): To divide or not to divide
The Min system, constituting MinC, MinD, and MinE proteins plays an essential role in regulating cell division in Gram-negative bacteria. MinD, a peripheral membrane ATPase, functions by recruiting the cell division inhibitor, MinC, to the membrane where it prevents septation. Counteracting this …

Protein glycosylation by NleB and the secretion of therapeutic nanobody fusions
… site-determining protein used in cell division, MinC, and the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase protein that promotes bacterial stress tolerance and virulence, FklB, were glycosylated by NleB on arginine residues R107 and R129, respectively. Data from in vitro assays suggested that NleB …

Numerical modelling of the shallow reinjection and tracer transport at Nesjavellir Geothermal System, Iceland : an assessment of heat transfer and fluid flow
… models use the Multiple Interactive Continuum (MINC) method, which is a generalization of the dual-porosity method. Compared to the single-porosity model, the MINC method better replicates the fast and strong recovery of tracers found in the monitoring stations. The temperature model showed …

Functional characterization of the cell division protein MinE from the Gram-negative coccus Neisseria gonorrhoeae
The Min system, comprising MinC, MinD, and MinE, is found in many Gram-negative bacterial species, including the bacillus Escherichia coli (Ec), and the coccus Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng). The Min proteins are important to properly initiate cell division in bacteria at the midcell. Previously, it …

Compositional modeling of gas injection in tight oil reservoirs
… matrix-fracture mass transfer, the implemented MINC approach with three continua can better match the results of the fine grid model than the conventional double-porosity approach. The developed simulator MSFLOW-COM is validated with a commercial compositional simulator for both primary …

Organization and Regulation of Proteins Required For Initiation of Cell Division In Escherichia Coli
… order to ensure efficient cell division, and the MinCDE proteins have an important role in restricting the Z ring to midcell. I found that an artificial fusion of the C-terminus of MinC with MinD, instead of inhibiting Z ring formation as expected, restricted FtsA localization to only part of an …

Physical Aspects of Min Oscillations in Escherichia Coli
… bacterium Escherichia coli. It consists of the MinC, the MinD, and the MinE proteins, which play an important role in the correct selection of the cell division site. The Min-proteins oscillate between the two cell poles and thereby prevent division at these locations. In this way, E. coli …

A dynamic economic evaluation methodology for transportation systems planning
The objective of this study is to set a methodology for transportation systems evaluation using an approach different than the traditional. The first part consist on a description of the transportation problem, the different concerns over the years and how transportation planning faced it. The …

Physiological roles and regulation of the cryptic prophage-encoded small protein DicB and small RNA DicF in Escherichia coli
… previously known interaction between DicB and MinC, a host protein involved in proper positioning of the Z ring during cell division, is necessary for the DicB-dependent phenotypes involving ManYZ identified in this study. The sRNA DicF is widely conserved is many E. coli strains and inhibits …

Regulators of Bacterial Cell Division: Investigations of Min Oscillation and Ftsa Activity
<p>Cytokinesis is a fundamental process that is essential for bacterial proliferation. The cytokinetic machinery in bacteria is termed the “divisome”. The divisome is a complex of proteins that forms a ring at midcell over dividing nucleoids. In order for daughter cells to form, the divisome must …
