FtsN activates septal cell wall synthesis by forming a processive complex with the septum-specific peptidoglycan synthase in E. coli

Z. Lyu, A. Yahashiri, X. Yang, J. W. McCausland, G. M. Kaus, R. McQuillen, D. S. Weiss, J. Xiao

This study shows FtsN activates septal peptidoglycan synthesis by forming a processive complex with FtsWI on the sPG-track, rather than displacing FtsWI from the Z-track.

FtsW exhibits distinct processive motions driven by either septal cell wall synthesis or FtsZ treadmilling in E. coli

X. Yang, R. McQuillen, Z. Lyv, P. Phillips-Mason, A. De La Cruz, J. W. McCausland, H. Liang, K. E. DeMeester, C. C. Santiago, C. L. Grimes, P. de Boer, J. Xiao

This study identifies two distinct processive motions of FtsW in E. coli, driven by FtsZ treadmilling or septal peptidoglycan synthesis, revealing a two-track model for sPG synthesis regulation.

A Pairwise Distance Distribution Correction (DDC) algorithm to eliminate blinking-caused artifacts in super-resolution microscopy

C. H. Bohrer, X. Yang, X. Weng, B. Tenner, S. Thakur, R. McQuillen, B. Ross, M. Wooten, X. Chen, M. Lakadamyali, J. Zhang, E. Roberts, J. Xiao

The paper introduces DDC, a method to correct blinking artifacts in SMLM by using true pairwise distance distributions, improving spatial reconstruction accuracy.
