Non-mechanical disruption of Bacillus subtilis spores allows sensitive and deep characterization of the minimal proteome for resuming a cellular lifestyle.

Y. Huang, A. de Koster, Z. Tu, X. Gao, W. Roseboom, S. Brul, P. Setlow, G. Kramer

This paper introduces a new sample preparation method, SPEED, which improves proteomic analysis of Bacillus subtilis spores by identifying more proteins and enabling differentiation between spore and vegetative cell proteins.

C-di-AMP accumulation disrupts glutathione metabolism and inhibits virulence program expression in Listeria monocytogenes

C. Siletti, M. J. Freeman, Z. Tu, D. M. Stevenson, D. Amador-Noguez, J.-D. Sauer, T. N. Huynh

This study shows that c-di-AMP accumulation in Listeria monocytogenes disrupts glutathione metabolism, leading to reduced virulence gene expression and attenuated pathogenesis.
