EFFECT OF INTERTIDAL VEGETATION (SUAEDA SALSA) RESTORATION ON MICROBIAL DIVERSITY IN THE OFFSHORE AREAS OF THE YELLOW RIVER DELTA

Effect of Intertidal Vegetation (Suaeda salsa) Restoration on Microbial Diversity in the Offshore Areas of the Yellow River Delta

The coastal wetlands in the Yellow River Delta play a vital role in the ecological function of the area.However, the impact of primary restoration on microbial communities is not yet fully understood.Hence, this study aimed to analyze the bacterial and archaeal communities in the soil.The results indicated that Marinobacter and Halomonas were predo

Substrate-induced unfolding of protein disulfide isomerase displaces the cholera toxin A1 subunit from its holotoxin.

To generate a cytopathic effect, the catalytic A1 subunit of cholera toxin (CT) must be separated from the rest of the toxin.Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is thought to mediate CT disassembly by acting as a redox-driven chaperone that actively unfolds the CTA1 subunit.Here, we show that PDI itself unfolds upon contact with CTA1.The substrate-in
