Control of cell division by an Acinetobacter baumannii protein with a nucleotidyl cyclase-like domain

Andrew Farinha, Mark W. Soo, G. Minasov, Nicole L. Inniss, L. Shuvalova, Vimisha Dharamdasani, Jessica R Finkler, Oliver Stearns, Trisha Shenoy, Christopher Kim, K.J.F. Satchell, Edward Geisinger

This paper identifies and characterizes AdvA, a unique protein in Acinetobacter baumannii essential for cell division, revealing its structural and functional divergence from typical nucleotidyl cyclases.

A new component of the DNA damage response biofilm axis is a TetR-like DNA damage response regulator in Acinetobacter baumannii

Brian Nguyen, Mark W. Soo, Guillermo Antunez Tierney, Elizabeth A. Amorelli, Austen L. Herlihy, Veronica G. Godoy

This study identifies EppR, a TetR-family regulator, as a new component linking the DNA damage response and biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii by modulating RecA levels and adhesive pili expression.

A phosphorylation signal activates genome-wide transcriptional control by BfmR, the global regulator of Acinetobacter resistance and virulence.

Nicole Raustad, Yunfei Dai, Akira Iinishi, Arpita Mohapatra, Mark W. Soo, Everett Hay, Gabrielle M. Hernandez, Edward Geisinger

This study identifies how phosphorylation activates BfmR to regulate gene expression, antibiotic resistance, and virulence in Acinetobacter baumannii.
