Enterococcus faecalis autolysin, EpaU, binds the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen via its teichoic acid-like repeats and modulates c-di-AMP signaling

Catherine T. Chaton, Nicholas R. Murner, Svetlana A. Zamakhaeva, Jeffrey S. Rush, Cameron W. Kenner, Alexander E. Yarawsky, Lei Huang, Parastoo Azadi, Andrew B. Herr, Natalia Korotkova, Konstantin V. Korotkov

This study identifies EpaU as an autolysin that binds the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen and modulates c-di-AMP signaling, affecting antibiotic resistance and cell turgor in Enterococcus faecalis.

Natural variation of the streptococcal Group A carbohydrate biosynthesis genes impacts host-pathogen interaction

Kim Schipper, Sara M. Tamminga, Nicholas R. Murner, Matthew A. Davies, Paul Berkhout, Debra E. Bessen, Astrid Hendriks, Natalia Korotkova, Yvonne Pannekoek, Nina M. van Sorge

The paper identifies genetic variation in the gacA-L cluster of S. pyogenes and shows that inactivating mutations in gacH reduce GroP decoration, affecting host-pathogen interactions.
