Roles of PknB and CslA in cell wall morphogenesis of Streptomyces

M. Derkacz, A. Watson, A. Gajbhiye, M. Tracz, D. Jakimowicz, M. Trost, J. Errington, B. Kepplinger

This study identifies PknB-dependent phosphorylation of CslA as critical for cell wall morphogenesis in Streptomyces, showing how modulating β-glucan synthesis can counteract DivIVA dysregulation.

The role of two major nucleoid associated proteins in Streptomyces, HupA and HupS, in stress survival and gene expression regulation

A. Strzałka, J. Mikołajczyk, K. Kowalska, M. Skurczynski, N. A. Holmes, D. Jakimowicz

This study investigates the roles of HupA and HupS in Streptomyces coelicolor growth, stress survival, and gene expression regulation, finding they act synergistically and as global transcription regulators.

The interplay between the polar growth determinant DivIVA, the segregation protein ParA and their novel interaction partner PapM controls the Mycobacterium smegmatis cell cycle by modulation of DivIVA subcellular distribution

I. Matusiak, A. Strzalka, P. Wadach, E. Szwajczak, A. Szydlowska-Helbrych, B. Kepplinger, M. Pioro, D. Jakimowicz

This paper identifies PapM as a new interaction partner of ParA and DivIVA in Mycobacterium smegmatis, showing their phosphorylation-dependent interplay regulates cell cycle by modulating DivIVA distribution.

Spatial rearrangement of the Streptomyces venezuelae linear chromosome during sporogenic development

M. J. Szafran, T. Malecki, A. Strzalka, K. Pawlikiewicz, J. Dulawa, A. Zarek, A. Kois-Ostrowska, K. Findlay, T. B. K. Le, D. Jakimowicz

This study shows that during sporulation in Streptomyces venezuelae, chromosome arms transition from spatial separation to close alignment, mediated by ParB, SMC, and HupS.

Transcriptional response of Streptomyces coelicolor to rapid chromosome relaxation or long-term supercoiling imbalance

M. J. Szafran, M. Gongerowska, T. Małecki, M. Elliot, D. Jakimowicz

This study investigates the transcriptional response of Streptomyces coelicolor to changes in DNA supercoiling, identifying gene clusters and regulatory mechanisms involved in supercoiling-sensitive transcription.
