Rickettsia rickettsii encodes a secretory lipase that facilitates intracytosolic colonization in host cells.

Mohammad Sadik, Imran Moin, Saif Ullah, Andrew C. Krusenstjerna, Mathilde Gonin, Erin D. Goley, Mohammad Sayeedur Rahman, Oliver H. Voss

This study identifies RLip, a conserved lipase in Rickettsia rickettsii, which facilitates intracytosolic colonization by enabling escape from phagolysosomal fusion.

Light-dependent modulation of protein localization and function in living bacteria cells

Ryan J. McQuillen, Amilcar J. Perez, Xinxing Yang, Christopher H. Bohrer, Erika L. Smith, Sylvia Chareyre, Ho‐Ching Tiffany Tsui, Kevin E. Bruce, Yin Mon Hla, Joshua W. McCausland, Malcolm E. Winkler, Erin D. Goley, Kumaran S. Ramamurthi, Jie Xiao

This study shows that the CRY2/CIB1 system can be used to precisely control protein localization in E. coli, enabling manipulation of cellular functions like cytokinesis.

The Cell Division Protein FzlA Performs a Conserved Function in Diverse Alphaproteobacteria

Isaac P. Payne, B. Scott Aubry, Jordan M. Barrows, P. J. B. Brown, Erin D. Goley

This paper shows that FzlA, an FtsZ-binding protein, conserves its function in activating FtsWI and coordinating chromosome segregation with cell division in diverse alphaproteobacteria.

Activation of SEDS-PBP cell wall synthases by an essential regulator of bacterial division

Patrick J. Lariviere, Christopher R. Mahone, Gustavo Santiago-Collazo, Matthew Howell, Allison K. Daitch, Rilee Zeinert, Peter Chien, Pamela J. B. Brown, Erin D. Goley

This study identifies FzlA as a regulator linking FtsZ to PG synthesis during bacterial division, showing it activates and spatially orients division-specific PG synthases.
