Processive movement of Staphylococcus aureus essential septal peptidoglycan synthases is independent of FtsZ treadmilling and drives cell constriction

S. Schaeper, A. D. Brito, B. M. Saraiva, G. R. Squyres, M. J. Holmes, E. C. Garner, Z. Hensel, R. Henriques, M. G. Pinho

This study shows that FtsW/PBP1 and DivIB move processively around the division site in S. aureus, driving cell constriction independently of FtsZ treadmilling.

The role of GpsB in cell morphogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus

S. F. Costa, B. M. Saraiva, H. Veiga, L. B. Marques, S. Schaper, M. Sporniak, D. E. Vega, A. M. Jorge, A. M. Duarte, A. D. Brito, A. C. Tavares, P. Reed, M. G. Pinho

This study identifies GpsB as a key protein involved in cell elongation in S. aureus by affecting the localization of PBPs and peptidoglycan synthesis.

SEDS-bPBP pairs direct lateral and septal peptidoglycan synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus

N. T. Reichmann, A. C. Tavares, B. M. Saraiva, A. Jousselin, P. Reed, A. R. Pereira, J. M. Monteiro, M. S. VanNieuwenhze, F. Fernandes, M. G. Pinho

This study identifies two SEDS-bPBP pairs in Staphylococcus aureus that mediate lateral and septal peptidoglycan synthesis, maintaining coccoid morphology.
