eLife, 2016 Protein polarization underlies differentiation in metazoans and in bacteria. How symmetric polarization can instate functional asymmetry remains elusive. Here, we show by super-resolution photo-activated localization microscopy and edgetic mutations that

Cryo-EM structure of the bifunctional secretin complex of Thermus thermophilus
eLife, 2017 Secretins form multimeric channels across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria that mediate the import or export of substrates and/or extrusion of type IV pili.

Viral Hijack of Filamentous Surface Structures in Archaea and Bacteria
Viruses, 2021 The bacterial and archaeal cell surface is decorated with filamentous surface structures that are used for different functions, such as motility, DNA exchange and biofilm formation. Viruses hijack these structures and use them to ride to the cell surface

Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis and an important factor in premature and stillbirths. Biofilm production has been suggested to be important for GBS pathogenesis alongside many other elements ...

Role of Jasmonic Acid Pathway in Tomato Plant-Pseudomonas syringae Interaction [PDF]
, 2020 The jasmonic acid pathway has been considered as the backbone of the response against necrotrophic pathogens. However, a hemi-biotrophic pathogen, such as Pseudomonas syringae, has taken advantage of the crosstalk between the different plant hormones in ...

The relay network of Geobacter biofilms [PDF]
, 2018 While actual models explaining electron conduction in electricity producing biofilms have evolved separately to apparent irreconcilable conceptual positions, finding cytochrome complexes in the external matrix of Geobacter biofilms supports the proposal ...
