Genetic Factors Associated with Anti-Factor H Autoantibodies in Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by renal failure and determined by genetic and acquired defects of alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system. Autoantibodies against factor H (anti-FHs), a regulator of the AP, were reported …

Assembly of the O Antigen in the Highly Pathogenic Escherichia Coli Serotype O104:H4
… pathogen that causes severe bloody diarrhea and hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which can lead to kidney failure and death. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are important virulence factors in Gram-negative bacteria and our goal is to understand the enzymes and mechanisms involved in the assembly of the outer …

Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Virulence Genes by GlmY and GlmZ in Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli
… (EHEC) is a major cause of foodborne illness and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) throughout the world. One of the major virulence factors in this pathogen is a type III secretion system (T3SS) encoded by the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). EHEC uses this proteinaceous needle to inject …

The Functional Characterization of QSEC a Bacterial Adrenergic Receptor and the LuxR Homologue SDIA in EHEC
… for outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The histidine sensor kinase QseC is an inner membrane adrenergic receptor which responds to the bacterial signal autoinducer-3 (AI-3) and the host signals epinephrine and norepinephrine. EHEC senses these signals in …
