Staphylococcus aureus Exoproteins on Nasal Epithelial Barrier in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
… form and biofilm form. We collected the exoproteins secreted from those isolates and studied their effect on in-vitro models of the nasal epithelial barrier. As a result of this study we found S. aureus biofilm exoproteins disrupt the mucosal barrier structure in a time- and dose- …

Characterization of an Interaction Between the Pseudopilin XcpT and the Putative ATPase XcpR in the Type II Secretion System of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
… Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The secretion of these exoproteins is achieved via the Type II secretion system. At least twelve genes named xcp have been demonstrated to encode the gene products responsible for this secretion. The roles for each individual Xcp protein or the protein-protein …

The relationship between S. aureus biofilm properties, inflammation, and disease severity in chronic rhinosinusitis
… loss of regulatory B cells in recalcitrant CRS. Exoproteins from the high biofilm-producing isolates induced mucosal barrier dysfunction in human nasal epithelial cell cultures, and those isolates were more toxic to the C. elegans worm model compared to low biofilm producers. Next, multiplex …

Evaluating The Impact of Post-Translational Modifications By The Secreted Zinc Metalloprotease, Gele, On The Major Autolysin of E. Faecalis, Atla, and A Stress-Induced Protein, Salb
<p>AtlA is the major peptidoglycan hydrolase of <em>E. faecalis</em> involved in cell separation of dividing cells. SalB is a secreted stress-induced protein regulated by the CroRS system. In addition, these two proteins also appear to be affected by the virulence factor, gelatinase (GelE). GelE is …
