This paper develops an electrophysiological method to study pore formation by bi-component staphylococcal leukotoxins in real-time using Xenopus oocytes, revealing receptor-dependent kinetics and a hybrid model of subunit oligomerization.

This study reveals that SpoIVA forms track-like polymers during bacterial spore development, with dimerization and ATPase activity playing distinct roles in its assembly and function.

This paper investigates DivIVA's role in Streptococcus pneumoniae cell division and elongation using microscopy and modeling, revealing its control over septum cleavage and peptidoglycan synthesis.
