Characterization of a Mycobacterium smegmatis Mutant Lacking Penicillin Binding Protein 1

Billman-Jacobe, Helen, Haites, Ruth E., Coppel, Ross L.

The ponA gene of Mycobacterium smegmatis encodes a 95-kDa penicillin binding protein, PBP1, that is similar to PBP1s of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae. Transposon disruption of...

Quantitative Determination of the Biodegradable Polymer Poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) in a Recombinant Escherichia coli Strain by Use of Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy and Multivariative Statistics

Kansiz, Mustafa, Billman-Jacobe, Helen, McNaughton, Don

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in combination with the partial least squares (PLS) multivariative statistical technique was used for quantitative analysis of the...

Antibody Responses to Infections with Strains of Plasmodium falciparum Expressing Diverse Forms of Merozoite Surface Protein 2

Weisman, Simon, Wang, Lina, Billman-Jacobe, Helen, Nhan, Doan Hanh, Richie, Thomas L., Coppel, Ross L.

Individuals living in areas where Plasmodium falciparum is endemic experience numerous episodes of infection. These episodes may or may not be symptomatic, with the outcome depending on a combination...

Temporal Variation of the Merozoite Surface Protein-2 Gene of Plasmodium falciparum

Eisen, Damon, Billman-Jacobe, Helen, Marshall, Vikki F., Fryauff, Dave, Coppel, Ross L.

Extensive polymorphism of key parasite antigens is likely to hamper the effectiveness of subunit vaccines against Plasmodium falciparum infection. However, little is known about the extent of the...

Methylation of GPLs in Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium avium

Jeevarajah, Dharshini, Patterson, John H., Taig, Ellen, Sargeant, Tobias, McConville, Malcolm J., Billman-Jacobe, Helen

Several species of mycobacteria express abundant glycopeptidolipids (GPLs) on the surfaces of their cells. The GPLs are glycolipids that contain modified sugars including acetylated 6-deoxy-talose...

Mannose metabolism is required for mycobacterial growth.

Patterson, John H, Waller, Ross F, Jeevarajah, Dharshini, Billman-Jacobe, Helen, McConville, Malcolm J

Mycobacteria are the causative agents of tuberculosis and several other significant diseases in humans. All species of mycobacteria synthesize abundant cell-wall mannolipids (phosphatidylinositol...

Biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidylinositol mannosides.

Morita, Yasu S, Patterson, John H, Billman-Jacobe, Helen, McConville, Malcolm J

All mycobacterial species, including pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis, synthesize an abundant class of phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) that are essential for normal growth and viability....

Molecular Characterization of Isoniazid-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates Collected in Australia

Lavender, Caroline, Globan, Maria, Sievers, Aina, Billman-Jacobe, Helen, Fyfe, Janet

Elucidation of the molecular basis of isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis has led to the development of different genotypic approaches for the rapid detection of INH resistance...

Population Genetics Study of Isoniazid Resistance Mutations and Evolution of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis†

Hazbón, Manzour Hernando, Brimacombe, Michael, Bobadilla Del Valle, Miriam, Cavatore, Magali, Guerrero, Marta Inírida, Varma-Basil, Mandira, ...

The molecular basis for isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is complex. Putative isoniazid resistance mutations have been identified in katG, ahpC, inhA, kasA, and ndh. However, small...
