A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

On the cover: Type IV pili (T4P), long and flexible appendages at the surface of many bacteria, are critical virulence factors. Pili of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), an important human pathogen, are polymers of the major subunit PpdD. In the quest for drug and vaccine discovery against such pathogens, unraveling the detailed organization and dynamics of PpdD pili will be instrumental. By combining NMR and cryo-EM, Bardiaux et al. (pp. 1082–1093) add a new page to the coloring book of T4P atomic models. The EHEC T4P structure revealed a large extended region of the pilin stem correlating with extremely high pilus flexibility, along with residues crucial for its assembly and stability. Image created by Benjamin Bardiaux (CNRS/Institut Pasteur, Paris).

Bacterial Transmembrane Signaling

Nadia Izadi-Pruneyre (PI)

Bacteria display several mechanisms to adapt to their host-environment and successfully colonise it. One important mechanism of adaptation concerns the regulation of gene expression in response to external signals such as the presence of […]
