Phylogenetic Analysis and Structural Evaluation of Staphylococcus aureus Serine-Aspartate Repeat-Containing Protein D with a Focus on Periprosthetic Joint Infection

The paper analyzes the genetic diversity and structural properties of SdrD in S. aureus PJI isolates, identifying three subtypes and showing structural rigidity despite calcium depletion.

SpyTag-Enabled Assembly of Bacterial Microcompartment Trimers into Macroscopic Layered Protein Materials

This paper describes the self-assembly of SpyTag-fused bacterial microcompartment trimers into macroscopic protein materials with functional properties in both solution and dried states.

Structure Characterization of Bacterial Microcompartment Shells via X-ray Scattering and Coordinate Modeling: Evidence for adventitious capture of cytoplasmic proteins

The paper uses SAXS and PDDF to analyze BMC shell structures and enzyme encapsulation in Haliangium ochraceum BMCs expressed in E. coli, showing cytoplasmic protein capture during assembly.

A chaotrope-based approach for rapid in vitro assembly and loading of bacterial microcompartment shells

This paper introduces a chaotrope-based method for in vitro assembly of bacterial microcompartment shells, enabling controlled encapsulation of cargo and expanding design possibilities.
