Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  24. Stall no more at polyproline stretches with the translation elongation factors EF-P and IF-5A

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Translation of polyproline proteins leads to translation arrest. To overcome this ribosome stalling effect, bacteria depend on a specialized translation elongation factor P (EF-P), being orthologous and functional identical to eukaryotic/archaeal elongation factor e/aIF-5A (recently renamed “EF5”). EF-P binds to the stalled ribosome between the peptidyl-tRNA binding and tRNA-exiting sites, and stimulates peptidyl-transferase activity thus allowing translation to resume.

  25. FlhG Employs Diverse Intrinsic Domains and Influences FlhF GTPase Activity to Numerically Regulate Polar Flagellar Biogenesis in Campylobacter jejuni

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Flagellation in polar flagellates is one of the rare biosynthetic processes known to be numerically regulated in bacteria. Polar flagellates must spatially and numerically regulate flagellar biogenesis to create flagellation patterns for each species that are ideal for motility. FlhG ATPases numerically regulate polar flagellar biogenesis, yet FlhG orthologs are diverse in motif composition.
