Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...
Disruption of organelle interactions due to metabolic stress is a crucial factor in the pathological processes of many degenerative diseases. Current treatments usually focus on individual organelles while ignoring the role of organelle interactions in cell damage caused by cascade reactions. The...
The regulation of mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (mNAD) is crucial for numerous life processes. However, until now, no metabolic reaction responsible for downregulating mNAD has been identified. Through in silico screening of potential NAD-binding proteins, we discovered a previo...
