Rescue of ribosomal protein bL27 in Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 by an alternate protease

Amarshi Mukherjee, Mohamed Nasef, Patrick Lindstrom, Nehaal Akavaram, Vipin Chembilikandy, Eriel Martínez, Carlos Javier Orihuela, Terje Dokland

This study identifies an alternate protease in S. pneumoniae TIGR4 that rescues ribosomal protein bL27 maturation in the absence of Prp.

Alterations in Nutrient Availability in the Lungs During Streptococcus pneumoniae-Induced Pneumonia

Hansol Im, Vipin Chembilikandy, Adonis D’Mello, Madison Pearson, Hervé Tettelin, Carlos Javier Orihuela

This study examines metabolic changes in the lungs during Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, revealing shifts in metabolite levels and bacterial gene expression that correlate with disease progression.

Cleavage of Streptococcus pneumoniae ribosomal protein L27 by the Prp protease

Amarshi Mukherjee, Mohamed Nasef, Patrick M. Lindstrom, Vipin Chembilikandy, Carlos Javier Orihuela, Terje Dokland

This study shows that the Prp protease cleaves the N-terminal extension of ribosomal protein L27 in S. pneumoniae, and that this cleavage is essential for viability, though the extension itself is not required.
