Assembly of the essential SpoIVA coat protein at the surface of developing bacterial spores

Elda Bauda, Betty Fekade, Laure Bellard, Benoît Gallet, Séraphine Degroux, Emmanuelle Neumann, Caroline Mas, Kaitlyn Coleman, Aline Le Roy, Grégory Effantin, Daphna Fenel, Jana Moravcová, Jiří Nováček, Christine Moriscot, Guy Schoehn, , Cécile Morlot

This study reveals that SpoIVA forms track-like polymers during bacterial spore development, with dimerization and ATPase activity playing distinct roles in its assembly and function.

SpoIVA contributes to efficient engulfment through a cytoskeletal-like mechanism during Bacillus subtilis sporulation

Betty Fekade, Siham Gabow, Kaitlyn Coleman, Saskia E. Bakker, Chris LB Graham, Cécile Morlot, Christopher D. A. Rodrigues

This study shows SpoIVA contributes to bacterial spore engulfment through a cytoskeletal-like mechanical role, independent of its coat assembly function.
