Stress-induced Membrane Insertion at the β-Barrel Assembly Machinery Complex Regulates BepA Metalloprotease Activity

Henri Voedts, Phuong Chi Nguyen, Van Son Nguyen, Pauline Leverrier, Bogdan Iuliu Iorga, Seung-Hyun Cho, Han K. Remaut, Jean‐François Collet

The paper identifies a stress-induced membrane insertion mechanism that activates the BepA metalloprotease by displacing its autoinhibitory plug, linking membrane association to protease function.

Yersinia pestis lipoprotein SlyB promotes plague pathogenesis via envelope stress tolerance

Pierre Lê-Bury, Emelyne Bougit, Sébastien Bontemps‐Gallo, Guillem Mas Fiol, Cyril Savin, Van Son Nguyen, Julien Madej, Rémi Beau, Caroline Buscail, Nicolas Jean Bouladoux, Friederike Jönsson, COSIPOP study group, Marion Lemarignier, Mara Emilia Carloni, Anne Derbise, , Olivier Dussurget

This study identifies SlyB as a key lipoprotein in Yersinia pestis that enhances envelope stress tolerance, enabling immune evasion in mammalian hosts but not in flea vectors.
