Outer membrane-anchoring enables LpoB to regulate peptidoglycan synthesis rate

The Cell Surface, 2022
Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential component of the cell envelope in most bacteria, responsible for maintaining the shape of the cell and protecting the cell from environmental stresses.

A novel pathway producing dimethylsulphide in bacteria is widespread in soil environments [PDF]

, 2015
The volatile compound dimethylsulphide (DMS) is important in climate regulation, the sulphur cycle and signalling to higher organisms. Microbial catabolism of the marine osmolyte dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) is thought to be the major biological ...

Localization of protein aggregation in Escherichia coli is governed by diffusion and nucleoid macromolecular crowding effect [PDF]

, 2013
Aggregates of misfolded proteins are a hallmark of many age-related diseases. Recently, they have been linked to aging of Escherichia coli (E. coli) where protein aggregates accumulate at the old pole region of the aging bacterium.

Imaging and 3D reconstruction of membrane protein complexes by cryo-electron microscopy and single particle analysis [PDF]

, 2006
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in combination with single particle image processing and volume reconstruction is a powerful technology to obtain medium-resolution structures of large protein complexes, which are extremely difficult to crystallize and ...

Bactericidal effect of corona discharges in atmospheric air [PDF]

, 2012
The present paper explores the possibilities of using impulsive and steady-state corona discharges for bio-decontamination operations. A high tension tubular corona electrode was stressed with positive or negative dc voltage with magnitude up to 26 kV ...

Characterization of the catalytic flexible loop in the dihydroorotase domain of the human multi-enzymatic protein CAD [PDF]

, 2018
The dihydroorotase (DHOase) domain of the multifunctional protein carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 2, aspartate transcarbamoylase, and dihydroorotase (CAD) catalyzes the third step in the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides in animals.

Microtubules in Bacteria: Ancient Tubulins Build a Five-Protofilament Homolog of the Eukaryotic Cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2011
Microtubules play crucial roles in cytokinesis, transport, and motility, and are therefore superb targets for anti-cancer drugs. All tubulins evolved from a common ancestor they share with the distantly related bacterial cell division protein FtsZ, but ...
