Differentiated roles for MreB-actin isologues and autolytic enzymes in Bacillus subtilis morphogenesis
Cell morphogenesis in most bacteria is governed by spatiotemporal growth regulation of the peptidoglycan cell wall layer. Much is known about peptidoglycan synthesis but regulation of its turnover by hydrolytic enzymes is much less well understood. Bacillus subtilis has a multitude of such enzymes. Two of the best characterized are CwlO and LytE: cells lacking both enzymes have a lethal block i...
متن کاملPOSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT OF GABAA RECEPTOR SITES IN CATALEPSY
The present work was performed to show the possible interaction of GAB A, and GABAB receptors in catalepsy. The following results were obtained: 1- Muscimol (MUS), a GABAA agonist, induced catalepsy. This effect was dose-dependent. Baclofen (BAC), a GABAB agonist, had no effect in this respect. 2- Catalepsy induced by muscimol was potentiated by pretreatment of animals with bicuculline (BI...
متن کاملSecA2-dependent secretion of autolytic enzymes promotes Listeria monocytogenes pathogenesis.
Pathogenic bacteria secrete proteins that promote invasion of host tissues and resistance to immune responses. However, secretion mechanisms that contribute to the enormous morbidity and mortality of Gram-positive bacteria are largely undefined. An auxiliary protein secretion system (SecA2) has recently emerged in Listeria monocytogenes and eight other Gram-positive pathogens. Here, a proteomic...

متن کاملDe- and repolarization mechanism of flagellar morphogenesis during a bacterial cell cycle.
Eukaryotic morphogenesis is seeded with the establishment and subsequent amplification of polarity cues at key times during the cell cycle, often using (cyclic) nucleotide signals. We discovered that flagellum de- and repolarization in the model prokaryote Caulobacter crescentus is precisely orchestrated through at least three spatiotemporal mechanisms integrated at TipF. We show that TipF is a...
