Escherichia coli p20 is a thioredoxin-dependent thiol peroxidase. This protein represents a novel group of antioxidant enzymes that are widely expressed in various pathogenic bacteria and show distant yet significant sequence homology with peroxiredoxins. E. coli p20, overexpressed in E. coli, was crystallized with PEG 4000 and 2-propanol as precipitants using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data were collected to 2.2 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 38.97, b = 58.97, c = 127.59 A. The asymmetric unit contains two p20 molecules, with a corresponding V(M) of 2.06 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 40.4%.

The production of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-free recombinant proteins from culture supernatants is of great interest to biomedical research and industry. Due to the LPS-free cell wall structure and the well-defined secretion factor B (SecB)-dependent secretion pathway, Gram-positive bacteria are a superior alternative to Escherichia coli expression systems. However, the lack of inducible expression systems for high yields has been a bottleneck.

PhoU proteins are negative regulators of the phosphate response, regulate virulence, and contribute to antibiotic resistance. has multiple genes encoding PhoU homologs that regulate persister formation and potentially virulence, but the molecular mechanisms of this regulation are not fully understood. We used a bacterial adenylate cyclase two-hybrid system to assess interactions between PhoU homologs and other proteins known to interact with PhoU from PhoU (also referred to as PhoU1) interacted with PhoU itself; PitR (also referred to as PhoU2) interacted with PitR itself.

Article Synopsis
- Two strains of bacteria were isolated from poultry facilities in Ukraine in 2023: OR12-like strain ChP2023 from broiler chickens and NCTC 11168R-like strain KF2023 from turkeys.
- Their genomes were sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technologies, with sizes of 1,713,995 bp and 1,729,995 bp, respectively.
- Both genomes contained genes associated with antibiotic resistance and other factors that contribute to their ability to cause disease.

The operon encodes a three-protein arsenic resistance system. ArsR regulates the transcription of the operon, while ArsB and ArsC are involved in exporting trivalent arsenic and reducing pentavalent arsenic, respectively. Previous research into 5A has demonstrated that ArsR has regulatory control over a wide range of metal-related proteins and metabolic pathways.
