Staphylococcus aureus skin colonization is mediated by SasG lectin variation

K. B. Mills, J. J. Maciag, C. Wang, J. A. Crawford, T. J. Enroth, K. C. Keim, Y. F. Dufrene, D. A. Robinson, P. D. Fey, A. B. Herr, A. R. Horswill

This study identifies SasG-II, a variant of the S. aureus surface protein, which binds to a broader range of ligands, enhancing its ability to colonize skin.

Large pilin subunits provide distinct structural and mechanical properties for the Myxococcus xanthus type IV pilus

A. Treuner-Lange, W. Zheng, A. Viljoen, S. Lindow, M. Herfurth, Y. F. Dufrene, L. Sogaard-Andersen, E. Egelman

This study solves the structure of Myxococcus xanthus type IV pilus and shows its increased rigidity due to a large C-terminal domain in PilA, enhancing motility on varied surfaces.

A molecular plugin rescues GroEL/ES substrates from pre-folding oxidation

E. Dupuy, S. Van der Verren, J. Lin, M. A. Wilson, A. Dachsbeck, F. Viela, E. Latour, A. Gennaris, D. Vertommen, Y. F. Dufrene, B. I. Iorga, C. V. Goemans, H. Remaut, J.-F. Collet

This study identifies CnoX as a redox quality-control plugin for GroEL, showing it binds outside the substrate-binding site and forms mixed-disulfides with substrates.
