How to build a bacterial cell: MreB as the foreman of E. coli construction
Cell shape matters across the kingdoms of life, and cells have the remarkable capacity to
define and maintain specific shapes and sizes. But how are the shapes of micron-sized cells …

Bacterial cell wall biogenesis is mediated by SEDS and PBP polymerase families functioning semi-autonomously
Multi-protein complexes organized by cytoskeletal proteins are essential for cell wall
biogenesis in most bacteria. Current models of the wall assembly mechanism assume that …

Class-A penicillin binding proteins do not contribute to cell shape but repair cell-wall defects
Cell shape and cell-envelope integrity of bacteria are determined by the peptidoglycan cell
wall. In rod-shaped Escherichia coli, two conserved sets of machinery are essential for cell …

Defining the rate-limiting processes of bacterial cytokinesis
C Coltharp, J Buss, TM Plumer… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Bacterial cytokinesis is accomplished by the essential 'divisome'machinery. The most widely
conserved divisome component, FtsZ, is a tubulin homolog that polymerizes into the 'FtsZ …

Response of Escherichia coli growth rate to osmotic shock
It has long been proposed that turgor pressure plays an essential role during bacterial
growth by driving mechanical expansion of the cell wall. This hypothesis is based on …

A two-track model for the spatiotemporal coordination of bacterial septal cell wall synthesis revealed by single-molecule imaging of FtsW
Synthesis of septal peptidoglycan (sPG) is crucial for bacterial cell division. FtsW, an
indispensable component of the cell division machinery in all walled bacterial species, was …

Movement dynamics of divisome proteins and PBP2x:FtsW in cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Bacterial cell division and peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis are orchestrated by the coordinated
dynamic movement of essential protein complexes. Recent studies show that bidirectional …
