Direct interaction between MreB and the RodA‐PBP2 complex organizes lateral cell wall synthesis in Escherichia coli

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The elongasome, or the Rod complex, orchestrates lateral peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis in many rod‐shaped bacteria. It consists of the actin‐like protein MreB, the PG synthase RodA‐PBP2 complex, as well as MreCD and RodZ. Although the loss or disruption of any elongasome component results in a loss of rod shape, previous studies found that a ...

Décryptage du site crtS de Vibrio cholerae et de son rôle dans la réplication coordonnée des deux chromosomes

, 2018
Bacterial genomes are mainly composed of two types of replicons: chromosomes, which are essential, and plasmids. Although most bacteria have only one chromosome, bacteria with secondary chromosomes have arisen independently in several taxa and represent ...

Prime editing in neuropsychiatric disorders: From mutation‐specific target selection to clinical translation

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

A genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system enables efficient genetic engineering in Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We developed a genome‐integrated CRISPR/Cas12a system for Xenorhabdus budapestensis XBD8, which enables precise deletion or replacement of DNA fragments ranging from 379 to 45,168 bp, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Application of this tool for the dynamic regulation of fabclavine‐8 biosynthesis resulted in a 1.90‐fold increase in production ...

A transient protoplast expression system for functional gene validation in sugarcane: Focus on drought response and immune pathways

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We developed a transient expression system for sugarcane using Guitang 42 culm, suitable for various assays such as GCaMP6‐based calcium imaging. This system revealed that ScNCED3 acts as an early drought response signal, positively regulated by ScPYL4‐12, ScOST1‐12, and ScMPK6‐11.
