Cell Division Protein FtsZ Is Unfolded for N-Terminal Degradation by Antibiotic-Activated ClpP
Antibiotic acyldepsipeptides (ADEPs) deregulate ClpP, the proteolytic core of the bacterial Clp protease, thereby inhibiting its native functions and concomitantly activating it for uncontrolled proteolysis of nonnative substrates.

Conventional dielectrophoresis (DEP) force on cell and particle is altered in the proximity of the electrodes due to the failure of the dipole approximation. In these conditions an anomalous DEP (aDEP) force rules the particle manipulation.

Coordination-Driven Orthogonal Ligand Pairings through Dual Hydrogen-Bonding/π-π Interaction Complementarity. [PDF]
A series of bidentate ligands for square‐planar Pd(II) complexes were developed, each with hydrogen‐bonding and π‐π‐stacking domains that are complementary to only one other ligand. The bis‐bidentate complexes form orthogonally to one another with high fidelity, but only when both interaction types are exploited in tandem.

Degradation of Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetase Megasynthetases SrfAA and SrfAB by Acyldepsipeptide-Activated ClpP in Bacillus Subtilis. [PDF]
FtsZ is the only target protein that has been biochemically confirmed to be hydrolyzed both in vitro and in bacterial cells. Coupled with activity‐based protein profiling of nonribosomal peptide synthetases, the ClpP‐ADEP1 proteolytic complex that degrades the surfactin synthetases SrfAA and SrfAB in cell lysates and bacterial cells is demonstrated ...

Progression of the late-stage divisome is unaffected by the depletion of the cytoplasmic FtsZ pool
Silber, Mayer, and colleagues examine how the depletion of the cytoplasmic FtsZ pool, triggered by ADEP antibiotics, affects the different stages of divisome formation and progression in Bacillus subtilis.

Several studies have detected SARS-CoV-2 in the stool of infected people as in urban wastewater. The quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater appears today as a powerful tool that can help in wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE).
