This study investigates MOMP assembly in Corynebacterium glutamicum, showing that PorH and ProtX are inserted at polar growth zones and linked to the cell wall.

This study shows LpoB transiently binds and activates PBP1b through an allosteric switch, directing PG synthesis to low-density areas and enabling lipoprotein redistribution.

The paper introduces a model to simulate E. coli division site morphology by coupling mechanochemical processes with mechanical stress.

This study identifies PBP1b's specialized role in E. coli division site fortification against osmotic rupture, showing it functions independently of LpoB and requires an extended N-terminus for recruitment by FtsA.
