Analyses of cell wall synthesis in Clostridioides difficile reveal a diversification in cell division mechanisms in endospore-forming bacteria

S. Shrestha, N. Taib, S. Gribaldo, A. Shen

This study reveals that C. difficile uses a bifunctional class A penicillin-binding protein for cell division during normal growth, diverging from the typical FtsW-FtsI divisome mechanism.

Borg extrachromosomal elements of methane-oxidizing archaea have conserved and expressed genetic repertoires

M. C. Schoelmerich, L. Ly, J. West-Roberts, L.-D. Shi, C. Shen, N. Malvankar, N. Taib, S. Gribaldo, B. J. Woodcroft, B. Al-Shayeb, X. Dai, C. Mozsary, S. Hickey, C. He, J. A. Beaulaurier, , J. Banfield

The paper identifies conserved genetic repertoires in Borg extrachromosomal elements of methane-oxidizing archaea and shows their higher expression than host genes.

Bridges instead of boats? The Mla system of diderm Firmicute Veillonella parvula reveals an ancestral transenvelope core of phospholipid trafficking

C. BELOIN, K. P. Grasekamp, B. Beaud, N. Taib, B. Audrain, B. Bardiaux, Y. Rossez, N. IZADI-PRUNEYRE, M. Lejeune, X. Trivelli, Z. Chouit, Y. Guerardel, J.-M. GHIGO, S. Gribaldo

This study investigates GPL trafficking in Veillonella parvula, revealing a minimal Mla system that directly connects membranes without chaperones or outer membrane lipoproteins, suggesting an ancestral core of the Mla system.

PRC domain-containing proteins modulate FtsZ-based archaeal cell division

P. Nussbaum, D. Kureisaite-Ciziene, D. Bellini, C. van der Does, M. Kojic, N. Taib, S. Gribaldo, M. Loose, J. Loewe, S.-V. Albers

This study identifies PRC domain proteins as essential components of the FtsZ-based cell division machinery in archaea, showing they form complexes with SepF and FtsZ and are required for proper cell division.

An ancient divide in outer membrane tethering systems in Bacteria

J. Witwinowski, A. Sartori-Rupp, N. Taib, N. Pende, T. N. Tham, D. Poppleton, J.-M. Ghigo, C. Beloin, S. Gribaldo

The paper investigates the evolution of outer membrane tethering systems in bacteria, showing a bimodal distribution linked to phylogeny and proposing a mechanism for the loss of the outer membrane in Gram-positive bacteria.
