A new role for lipoproteins LpqZ and FecB in orchestrating mycobacterial cell envelope biogenesis

Robin Lissner, Aaron Franklin, Samuel T. Benedict…·Wilbert Bitter

This study identifies lipoproteins LpqZ and FecB as essential for mycobacterial cell envelope biogenesis through interactions with enzymes involved in glycoconjugate synthesis.

Rerouting of an Esx substrate pair from the ESX-1 type VII secretion system to ESX-5 by modifying a PE/PPE substrate pair

Merel P.M. Damen, Trang H. Phan, Roy Ummels…·Edith N. G. Houben

The paper shows that PE35/PPE68_1 determines the secretion pathway of EsxB_1/EsxA_1 by redirecting it from ESX-1 to ESX-5 when modified with the EspG5 chaperone binding domain.
