The JAL antigen (RH48) is the result of a change in RHCE that encodes Arg114Trp.

21 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: The JAL antigen (Rh48) was discovered more than 30 years ago when it caused hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in an African American family. A decade later it was found to cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in a ... Read more...

Periplasmic domains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PilN and PilO form a stable heterodimeric complex.

18 Nov 2009 Type IV pili (T4P) are bacterial virulence factors responsible for attachment to surfaces and for twitching motility, a motion that involves a succession of pilus extension and retraction cycles. In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ... Read more...

PilM/N/O/P proteins form an inner membrane complex that affects the stability of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pilus secretin.

18 Nov 2009 The highly conserved pilM/N/O/P/Q gene cluster is among the core set of genes required for cell surface expression of type IV pili and associated twitching motility. With the exception of the outer membrane secretin, a multimer of PilQ subunits, the ... Read more...
