Cell Growth and Division of Staphylococcus aureus

MG Pinho, SJ Foster - Annual Review of Microbiology, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Bacterial cell growth and division require temporal and spatial coordination of multiple
processes to ensure viability and morphogenesis. These mechanisms both determine and …

Staphylococcus aureus FtsZ and PBP4 bind to the conformationally dynamic N-terminal domain of GpsB

MD Sacco, LR Hammond, RE Noor, D Bhattacharya… - Elife, 2024 - elifesciences.org
Abstract In the Firmicutes phylum, GpsB is a membrane associated protein that coordinates
