Spatio-temporal control of DNA replication by the pneumococcal cell cycle regulator CcrZ

C. Gallay, S. Sanselicio, M. E. Anderson, Y. M. Soh, X. Liu, G. A. Stamsas, S. Pelliciari, R. van Raaphorst, J. Denereaz, M. Kjos, H. Murray, S. Gruber, A. D. Grossman, J.-W. Veening

This study identifies CcrZ as a regulator that couples DNA replication with cell division in pneumococci by controlling DnaA activity, ensuring proper chromosome inheritance.

Class A PBPs have a distinct and unique role in the construction of the pneumococcal cell wall.

D. Straume, K. Wiaroslawa Piechowiak, S. Olsen, G. A. Stamsas, K. H. Berg, M. Kjos, M. V. Heggenhougen, M. Alcorlo, J. A. Hermoso, L. S. Havarstein

This study identifies a specific role for class A PBPs in processing nascent peptidoglycan synthesized by the divisome in S. pneumoniae.

Prevention of EloR/KhpA heterodimerization by introduction of site-specific amino acid substitutions renders the essential elongasome protein PBP2b redundant in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

A. Ruud Winther, M. Kjos, G. A. Stamsas, L. S. Havarstein, D. Straume

This paper shows that disrupting EloR/KhpA heterodimerization in S. pneumoniae makes the elongasome redundant, highlighting the complex's role in regulating cell division.

CozEa and CozEb play overlapping and essential roles in controlling cell division in Staphylococcus aureus

G. A. Stamsas, I. Myrbraten, D. Straume, Z. Salehian, J.-W. Veening, L. S. Havarstein, M. Kjos

This study identifies CozEa and CozEb as essential for cell division in S. aureus, showing they work together with EzrA and are conserved in S. pneumoniae.
