Cell wall damage reveals spatial flexibility in peptidoglycan synthesis and a non-redundant role for RodA in mycobacteria

E. S. Melzer, T. Kado, A. Garcia-Heredia, K. R. Gupta, X. Meniche, Y. S. Morita, C. M. Sassetti, E. H. M. Rego, M. S. Siegrist

This study investigates the role of RodA in mycobacterial cell wall synthesis under damage, showing its non-redundant function in spatially flexible peptidoglycan assembly and stress response.

Peptidoglycan precursor synthesis along the sidewall of pole-growing mycobacteria

A. Garcia-Heredia, A. A. Pohane, E. S. Melzer, C. R. Carr, T. J. Fiolek, S. R. Rundell, H. C. Lim, J. Wagner, Y. S. Morita, B. M. Swarts, M. S. Siegrist

The paper investigates peptidoglycan precursor synthesis in mycobacteria, showing that sidewall synthesis responds to cell wall damage while polar synthesis is linked to elongation.

DivIVA concentrates mycobacterial cell envelope assembly for initiation and stabilization of polar growth

E. S. Melzer, C. E. Sein, J. J. Chambers, M. S. Siegrist

This study shows DivIVA concentrates cell wall synthesis in mycobacteria to initiate and stabilize polar growth, supporting the idea that rod shape is a hardwired bacterial trait.
