Structures, functions, and regulatory networks of universal stress proteins in clinically relevant pathogenic Bacteria

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Universal stress proteins are a class of proteins widely present in bacteria, archaea, plants, and invertebrates, playing essential roles in bacterial adaptation to various environmental stresses. The functions of bacterial universal stress proteins are versatile, including resistance to oxidative stress, maintenance of cell wall integrity, DNA damage repair, regulation of cell division and growth, among others. When facing stresses such as temperature changes, pH shifts, fluctuations in oxygen concentration, and exposure to toxins, these proteins can bind to specific DNA sequences and rapidly adjust bacterial metabolic pathways and gene expression patterns to adapt to the new environment. In summary, bacterial universal stress proteins play a crucial role in bacterial adaptability and survival. A comprehensive understanding of bacterial stress response mechanisms and the development of new antibacterial strategies are of great significance. This review summarizes the research progress on the structure, function, and regulatory factors of universal stress proteins in clinically relevant bacteria, aiming to facilitate deeper investigations by clinicians and researchers into universal stress proteins.
