Vaccination of cattle with a virus-vectored vaccine against a major membrane protein of Mycobacterium a. subsp. paratuberculosis elicits CD8 cytotoxic T cells that kill intracellular bacteria

The essential domain of FtsN triggers cell division by promoting interaction between FtsL and FtsI

The paper investigates the role of FtsN's essential domain in bacterial cell division by testing a model of its interaction with FtsL and FtsI using genetic analysis and AlphaFold2.

Genetic analysis of the septal peptidoglycan synthase FtsWI complex supports a conserved activation mechanism for SEDS-bPBP complexes

The paper identifies mutations in FtsW and FtsI that reveal the activation mechanism of the SEDS-bPBP complex FtsWI, showing it relies on an interaction between FtsW's ECL4 and FtsI's pedestal domain.

Essential role for FtsL in activation of septal PG synthesis

This study identifies a region of FtsL critical for activating FtsWI in bacterial cytokinesis, showing FtsL interacts with FtsI to facilitate septal peptidoglycan synthesis.

Cognate epitope recognition by bovine CD4 and CD8 T cells is essential for primary expansion of antigen-specific cytotoxic T-cells following ex vivo stimulation with a candidate Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis peptide vaccine.

The paper shows CD4 and CD8 T-cell cognate recognition is essential for primary CTL expansion in response to a Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis peptide vaccine in cattle.
