Structure-guided microbial targeting of antistaphylococcal prodrugs

J. Miller, I. T. Shah, J. Hatten, Y. Barekatain, E. A. Mueller, A. M. Moustafa, R. L. Edwards, C. S. Dowd, P. J. Planet, F. L. Muller, J. M. Jez, A. R. Odom John

This study identifies microbial esterases in Staphylococcus aureus and determines their substrate specificities to guide the design of serum esterase-resistant antistaphylococcal prodrugs.

The active repertoire of Escherichia coli peptidoglycan amidases varies with physiochemical environment

E. A. Mueller, A. G. Iken, M. A. Oeztuerk, M. Schmitz, B. Di Ventura, P. A. Levin

This study identifies pH-dependent activity of E. coli amidases AmiB and AmiC, mediated by EnvC, NlpD, and YgeR, revealing non-redundant roles in cell separation.

Peptidoglycan editing provides immunity to Acinetobacter baumannii during bacterial warfare

N.-H. Le, K. Peters, A. Espaillat, J. R. Sheldon, J. Gray, G. Di Venanzio, J. Lopez, B. Djahanschiri, E. A. Mueller, S. W. Hennon, P. A. Levin, I. Ebersberger, E. P. Skaar, F. Cava, W. Vollmer, M. F. Feldman

Acinetobacter baumannii incorporates D-Lysine into its peptidoglycan to gain immunity against T6SS attacks from competitors, though this trait is lost in pathogenic strains due to host enzyme activity.

Environmental pH impacts division assembly and cell size in Escherichia coli

E. A. Mueller, C. S. Westfall, P. A. Levin

This study shows environmental pH affects cell division and size in E. coli by altering FtsN localization and activity.

Plasticity in Escherichia coli cell wall metabolism promotes fitness and mediates intrinsic antibiotic resistance across environmental conditions

E. A. Mueller, P. A. Levin

The paper shows that certain previously thought redundant enzymes in E. coli are specialized for specific pH environments, enhancing fitness and intrinsic antibiotic resistance.
