Spatial and temporal control of lysis by the lambda holin

J. Cahill, A. Holt, M. Theodore, R. Moreland, C. O Leary, C. Martin, K. Bettridge, J. Xiao, R. Young

The paper investigates the molecular basis of polar lysis in phage λ using time lapse fluorescence microscopy, finding that the holin forms two-dimensional rafts at cell poles before lysis.

Single molecule tracking reveals the role of transitory dynamics of nucleoid-associated protein HU in organizing the bacterial chromosome

K. Bettridge, S. Verma, X. Weng, S. Adhya, J. Xiao

This study uses single molecule tracking to show HU binds and unbinds DNA weakly and transiently in E. coli, suggesting a dynamic role in chromosome organization.

Phage-encoded cationic antimicrobial peptide used for outer membrane disruption in lysis

A. Holt, J. Cahill, J. Ramsey, C. O'Leary, R. Moreland, C. Martin, D. T. Galbadage, R. Sharan, P. Sule, K. Bettridge, J. Xiao, J. Cirillo, R. Young

This study identifies a phage-encoded cationic antimicrobial peptide, Gp28, that disrupts bacterial outer membranes during lysis, functioning similarly to human antimicrobial peptides like LL-37.
