Mircubactin B rescues the lethal effect of cell wall biosynthesis mutations in Bacillus subtilis.

B. Kepplinger, X. Wen, A. R. Tyler, B.-Y. Kim, J. Brown, P. Banks, Y. Dashti, E. S. Mackenzie, C. Wills, Y. Kawai, K. J. Waldron, N. E. E. Allenby, L. J. Wu, M. J. Hall, J. Errington

The paper identifies mirubactin B, a compound that rescues growth defects in Bacillus subtilis rod-complex mutants, showing activity beyond simple iron sequestration.

Chromosome remodelling by SMC/Condensin in B. subtilis is regulated by Soj/ParA during growth and sporulation

D. M. Roberts, A. Anchimiuk, T. G. Kloosterman, H. Murray, L. J. Wu, S. Gruber, J. Errington

The paper shows that ParA/Soj proteins regulate SMC complex redistribution during axial filament formation in B. subtilis, using monomeric ParA/Soj that cannot bind DNA or hydrolyse ATP.

CTP regulates membrane-binding activity of the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc

A. S. B. Jalal, N. T. Tran, L. J. Wu, K. Ramakrishnan, M. Rejzek, G. Gobbato, C. E. M. Stevenson, D. M. Lawson, J. Errington, T. B. K. Le

This study shows that CTP regulates the membrane-binding activity of the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc in Bacillus subtilis by controlling its ability to form nucleoprotein complexes.

Geometric principles underlying the proliferation of a model cell system

L. J. Wu, S. Lee, S. Park, L. Eland, A. Wipat, S. Holden, J. Errington

This study investigates how cell geometry affects growth, chromosome segregation, and division in Bacillus subtilis L-forms, showing that surface area over volume and nucleoid positioning are key factors.
