Mechanistic insights into TAM-mediated OMP assembly in Gram-negative bacteria
Keywords gram-negative bacteria TAM outer membrane biogenesis β-barrel protein assembly substrate translocation conformational dynamics cryo-electron microscopy Research topic(s) CP: microbiology Introduction Outer-membrane β-barrel proteins (OMPs) are essential for the physiology and the virulence of Gram-negative bacteria.1 They perform diverse and critical functions, including maintaining envelope integrity, mediating nutrient uptake and efflux, scaffolding for secretion and adhesion, and...
Conformational hijacking of lipoprotein transporter LolDF enables precision antimicrobial activity against Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a critical-priority pathogen with increasing antibiotic resistance. Here, we define the mechanism of abaucin, a first-in-class narrow-spectrum antibiotic that selectively targets A. baumannii by inhibiting its essential lipoprotein transporter, LolDF. Extending prior studies of archived strains, we demonstrate potent activity against clinically isolated carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) strains both in vitro and in a murine pneumonia model.
Vertical-flow tearable paper-tape rolls for scalable multiplexed point-of-care nucleic acid testing
Abstract Paper substrates, with their inherent capillary-driven forces, eliminate the need for external power sources typically required by microfluidic biochips. However, conventional lateral flow (LF) systems face limitations, including non-specific adsorption, uneven molecular distribution, and restricted flexibility for multiplexed detection. In this work, we developed a novel vertical-flow paper-tape (VFPT) integrated device.
