Intestinal calcium and bile salts facilitate germination of Clostridium difficile spores

Kochan T, Somers M, Kaiser A, Shoshiev M, Hagan A, Hastie J, et al.

PLoS Pathog . 2017 Jul; 13(7):e1006443. PMID: 28704538

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is an anaerobic gram-positive pathogen that is the leading cause of nosocomial bacterial infection globally. C. difficile infection (CDI) typically occurs after ingestion of infectious spores...

The Anti-sigma Factor RsiV Is a Bacterial Receptor for Lysozyme: Co-crystal Structure Determination and Demonstration That Binding of Lysozyme to RsiV Is Required for σV Activation

Hastie J, Williams K, Bohr L, Houtman J, Gakhar L, Ellermeier C

PLoS Genet . 2016 Sep; 12(9):e1006287. PMID: 27602573

σ factors provide RNA polymerase with promoter specificity in bacteria. Some σ factors require activation in order to interact with RNA polymerase and transcribe target genes. The Extra-Cytoplasmic Function (ECF)...

Evidence of a bacterial receptor for lysozyme: binding of lysozyme to the anti-σ factor RsiV controls activation of the ecf σ factor σV

Hastie J, Williams K, Sepulveda C, Houtman J, Forest K, Ellermeier C

PLoS Genet . 2014 Oct; 10(10):e1004643. PMID: 25275625

σ factors endow RNA polymerase with promoter specificity in bacteria. Extra-Cytoplasmic Function (ECF) σ factors represent the largest and most diverse family of σ factors. Most ECF σ factors must...

The activity of σV, an extracytoplasmic function σ factor of Bacillus subtilis, is controlled by regulated proteolysis of the anti-σ factor RsiV

Hastie J, Williams K, Ellermeier C

J Bacteriol . 2013 May; 195(14):3135-44. PMID: 23687273

During growth in the environment, bacteria encounter stresses which can delay or inhibit their growth. To defend against these stresses, bacteria induce both resistance and repair mechanisms. Many bacteria regulate...

The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function σ factor σ(V) is induced by lysozyme and provides resistance to lysozyme

Ho T, Hastie J, Intile P, Ellermeier C

J Bacteriol . 2011 Aug; 193(22):6215-22. PMID: 21856855

Bacteria encounter numerous environmental stresses which can delay or inhibit their growth. Many bacteria utilize alternative σ factors to regulate subsets of genes required to overcome different extracellular assaults. The...
