Function and firing of the Streptomyces coelicolor contractile injection system requires the membrane protein CisA

Bastien Casu, Joseph W. Sallmen, Peter E Haas, Govind Chandra, Pavel Afanasyev, Jingwei Xu, Martin Pilhofer, Susan Schlimpert

This study identifies CisA as a membrane protein essential for the function of the Streptomyces coelicolor contractile injection system, showing it mediates recruitment to the membrane and firing.

Discovery of lydiamycin A biosynthetic gene cluster in the plant pathogen Rhodococcus fascians guides structural revision and identification of molecular target

Jonathan J. Ford, Javier Santos‐Aberturas, Edward S. Hems, Joseph W. Sallmen, Lena A. K. Bögeholz, Guy Polturak, Anne Osbourn, Joseph A. Wright, Marina V. Rodnina, Danny Vereecke, Isolde M. Francis, Andrew W. Truman

The paper identifies a biosynthetic gene cluster in Rhodococcus fascians that produces lydiamycin A, a novel HPS-containing macrocyclic pentapeptide with antibacterial activity against peptide deformylase.
