Peptidoglycan precursor synthesis along the sidewall of pole-growing mycobacteria

eLife, 2018
Rod-shaped mycobacteria expand from their poles, yet d-amino acid probes label cell wall peptidoglycan in this genus at both the poles and sidewall. We sought to clarify the metabolic fates of these probes.

Transcriptome profiling helps to elucidate the mechanisms of ripening and epidermal senescence in passion fruit (Passiflora edulia Sims).

PLoS ONE, 2020
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulia Sims), an important tropical and subtropical species, is classified as a respiration climacteric fruit, and its quality deteriorates rapidly after harvest.

Molecular phenotyping of the pal1 and pal2 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana reveals far-reaching consequences on phenylpropanoid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism [PDF]

, 2004
The first enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, Phe ammonia-lyase (PAL), is encoded by four genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Whereas PAL function is well established in various plants, an insight into the functional significance of individual gene family ...

Comparative analysis of Salmonella susceptibility and tolerance to the biocide chlorhexidine identifies a complex cellular defense network [PDF]

, 2014
peer-reviewedChlorhexidine is one of the most widely used biocides in health and agricultural settings as well as in the modern food industry. It is a cationic biocide of the biguanide class. Details of its mechanism of action are largely unknown.

Integrated Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis Reveals That Cell Wall Activity Affects Phelipanche aegyptiaca Parasitism

Plants
Phelipanche aegyptiaca can infect many crops, causing large agricultural production losses. It is important to study the parasitism mechanism of P. aegyptiaca to control its harm. In this experiment, the P.

A cytoplasmic peptidoglycan amidase homologue controls mycobacterial cell wall synthesis

eLife, 2016
Regulation of cell wall assembly is essential for bacterial survival and contributes to pathogenesis and antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). However, little is known about how the cell wall is regulated in stress. We found that CwlM,

Bacterial Cell Wall Quality Control during Environmental Stress

mBio, 2020
Single-celled organisms must adapt their physiology to persist and propagate across a wide range of environmental conditions. The growth and division of bacterial cells depend on continuous synthesis of an essential extracellular barrier: the ...
