Streptococcal autolysin promotes dysfunction of swine tracheal epithelium by interacting with vimentin.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a major zoonotic pathogen resulting in manifestations as pneumonia and septic shock. The upper respiratory tract is typically thought to be the main colonization and entry site of SS2 in pigs, but the mechanism ...

The bias of experimental design, including strain background, in the determination of critical Streptococcus suis serotype 2 virulence factors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an important porcine bacterial pathogen and emerging zoonotic agent mainly responsible for sudden death, septic shock, and meningitis. However, serotype 2 strains are genotypically and phenotypically heterogeneous. Though

Comprehensive and Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of the Cell Wall Stress Response in Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 6, Page 506-545, June 2026.
Transcriptional profiling of the primary cell envelope stress response (CESR) of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a range of cell wall‐targeting antimicrobials, combining RNAseq and high‐resolution tiling arrays. We revealed the complexity of the CESR, the contribution of extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) and two‐component signal transduction ...

Role of autolysin in generating the pneumococcal purpura-producing principle [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1981
The results of four studies described in this paper support the idea that pneumococcal autolysin (N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase) plays a key role in generating the pneumococcal purpura-producing principle (PPP) from the bacterial cell wall. This conclusion is based on the observation that (i) concentrates of pneumococcal cell-free extracts prepared

Acetylation Activity and Specificity of Peptidoglycan Deacetylase BsPdaC Acting in Reverse on Chitooligosaccharides

open access: yesChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 10, 27 May 2026.
Bacillus subtilis PdaC is the first peptidoglycan deacetylase able to act in reverse, acetylating a glucosamine oligomer (chitopentaose) with a pattern of acetylation mirroring the natural deacetylation reaction with unique final regioselectivity, acetylating all but the reducing end of D5.

Role of Autolysins in the Killing of Bacteria by Some Bactericidal Antibiotics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1971
The rapid lysis of Bacillus licheniformis NCTC 6346 and B. subtilis 168 trp caused by vancomycin and d -cycloserine can be inhibited by stopping protein synthesis.

Model for the role of WTA in proton binding and control of autolysin activity.

open access: yes, 2013
(A) The negatively charged WTA phosphate groups retain protons in the cell wall, which creates an acidic environment keeping the activity of the major autolysin AtlA low.

Unchaining miniBacillus PG10:Relief of FlgM-mediated repression of autolysin genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Cell chaining in Bacillus subtilis is naturally observed in a subset of cells during exponential growth and during biofilm formation. However, the recently constructed large-scale genome-minimized B.

ssRNA bacteriophage metagenomes reveal a diverse set of novel protein families

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The bacteriophages with single‐stranded RNA (ssRNA) genomes (class Leviviricetes) are among the simplest known viruses that encode only three core proteins: a receptor‐binding protein, a capsid protein, and an RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase. The number of isolated ssRNA phages has remained very low, but the accumulating RNA metagenome data have ...
