Transposon-sequencing across multiple Mycobacterium abscessus isolates reveals significant functional genomic diversity among strains

C. Akusobi, S. Choudhery, B. S. Benghomari, I. D. Wolf, S. Singhvi, T. R. Ioerger, E. J. Rubin

This study uses transposon-sequencing to analyze functional genomic diversity across 21 Mycobacterium abscessus isolates, identifying essential and non-essential genes and previously uncharacterized genetic networks.

Cell envelope remodeling requires high concentrations of biotin during Mycobacterium abscessus model lung infection

M. R. Sullivan, K. McGowen, Q. Liu, C. Akusobi, D. C. Young, J. A. Mayfield, S. Raman, I. D. Wolf, D. B. Moody, C. C. Aldrich, A. Muir, E. J. Rubin

This study identifies biotin-dependent fatty acid remodeling as essential for Mycobacterium abscessus survival in the lung, suggesting biotin synthesis and fatty acid metabolism as therapeutic targets.

Reporter assays for Ebola virus nucleoprotein oligomerization, virion-like particle budding, and minigenome activity reveal the importance of nucleoprotein amino acid position 111

A. E. Lin, W. E. Diehl, Y. Cai, C. L. Finch, C. Akusobi, R. N. Kirchdoerfer, L. Bollinger, S. F. Schaffner, E. A. Brown, E. O. Saphire, K. G. Andersen, J. H. Kuhn, J. Luban, P. C. Sabeti

The paper develops reporter assays to study Ebola virus nucleoprotein (NP) function and finds that amino acid position 111 affects oligomerization, virion budding, and transcription/replication.
