The Passage of Chaperonins to Extracellular Locations in Requires a Functional Dot/Icm System.

HtpB, the chaperonin of the bacterial pathogen , is found in extracellular locations, even the cytoplasm of host cells. Although chaperonins have an essential cytoplasmic function in protein folding, HtpB exits the cytoplasm to perform extracellular virulence-related functions that support 's lifestyle. The mechanism by which HtpB reaches extracellular locations is not currently understood.

Weaving the strands together for a stronger future: Responding to the mental health needs of Pacific children and young people.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to summarise the findings of a virtual workshop at the Creating Futures 2023 Conference held on October 18 with 45 participants attending from Fiji, PNG, Solomon Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Cook Islands, Australia and New Zealand. Brief presentations about future mental health needs of Pacific children & young people were followed by small group discussions. These focussed on how island nation participants could "make it real" by considering actions to promote mental health and wellbeing in their communities.

Long-term Metabolic Outcomes Post-Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation in Recipients With Type 1 Diabetes.

Background: Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is an effective treatment option for type 1 diabetes mellitus and concurrent end-stage kidney disease. However, the diabetogenic effects of immunosuppression can counteract the beneficial effects of sustained normoglycemia. Long-term metabolic trends that reflect cardiovascular risk are reported poorly in the literature.

Ultraviolet Photodissociation of the ,-Dimethylformamide Cation.

,-Dimethylformamide (DMF) provides a useful small-molecule model for studying features of the peptide bond that forms the backbone of proteins. We report results from a comprehensive multimass velocity-map imaging study into the ultraviolet (UV) photolysis of the ,-dimethylformamide cation (DMF) at wavelengths of 225, 245, and 280 nm. Electronic structure calculations on DMF and DMF were employed to help interpret the experimental results.
