London: Thomas Parkhurst and Thomas Cockerill. Its intent is to demonstrate the significant role of the Portuguese, both in Europe and the World, in every aspect relating to communication, from the creation and production of a book to the transmission of thought and knowledge, independent of language, format, or political boundaries. This dissemination of knowledge is furthermore marked by its global influence from the Americas through António Vieira, and his famous sermons written in Brazil to the East, through the travel descriptions of Fernão Mendes Pinto's Peregrinação ( Pilgrimage) and accounts on the Jesuit martyrs by António Cardim and Álvaro Semedo.īearing in mind the relatively small number of translations made from Portuguese historically, our hope is that this exhibit will reveal to its public a more precise answer to the important question of the spread of Portuguese culture beyond its own borders and language. Focusing on the literary evidence of this extraordinary religious, civic and cultural cross-pollination, the Georgetown exhibition highlights distinguished authors in the areas of cannon law: Agostinho Barbosa and Pedro Barbosa theology: Bartolomeu dos Mártires and Jerónimo Osório and philosophy, represented by the several tomes of commentaries on Aristotle's writings by the Collegium Conimbricensis led by Pedro Fonseca. Their important contributions to world cultures were celebrated this summer in the Smithsonian’s exhibition Encompassing the Globe: Portugal and the World in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The Portuguese are well-known for their sea exploration and their presence both geographically and intellectually around the world. Individual sections focus on Jesuit martyrs Jesuit philosophy on Catholic doctrine Jesuit philosophy on laws, rules, and procedures religious texts Portuguese journeys and political problems as depicted by the Portuguese. A collection of Jesuit letters in Latin adds to the exhibit including a letter from a Jesuit missionary in Bahia, Brazil dated 1677. The selection includes books published in eighteen cities from eight European countries, representing six different languages.

TF and SecB display distinct, unsuspected roles in secretion. We reconstituted this interaction in vitro and studied targeting and secretion of the model preprotein pro-OmpA. TF antagonizes the contribution of SecB to secretion by an unknown molecular mechanism. Some aggregation-prone preproteins require chaperones, like trigger factor (TF) and SecB, for solubility and/or targeting.

Mature domain features and signal peptides maintain preproteins in kinetically trapped, largely soluble, folding intermediates. Bacterial secretory preproteins are translocated across the inner membrane post-translationally by the SecYEG-SecA translocase.
