Structure of a full-length bacterial polysaccharide co-polymerase

Benjamin Wiseman et al.

Summary: Lipopolysaccharides, crucial components of bacterial cell envelopes, are synthesized at the inner membrane through the Wzx/Wzy-dependent assembly pathway. The cryo-EM structure of intact E. coli WzzB provides insights into the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, as well as a conserved proline-rich segment near the C-terminal transmembrane helix.

Real-time tracking of bacterial membrane vesicles reveals enhanced membrane traffic upon antibiotic exposure

Julia Bos et al.

Summary: Membrane vesicles are common carriers of molecular information and primarily disperse along bacterial surfaces. When bacteria are challenged with low doses of antibiotics, vesicle production and movement are significantly enhanced, independent of cell clustering but associated with a reduction in surface appendage density.

Membrane bending by protein phase separation

Feng Yuan et al.

Summary: "Membrane bending is primarily driven by proteins with specific structural features, such as amphipathic helices and crescent-shaped scaffolds. Recent studies show that disordered protein domains can form liquid phases on membrane surfaces, creating compressive stress that leads to membrane curvature and the formation of protein-lined membrane tubules."

Post-correlation on-lamella cryo-CLEM reveals the membrane architecture of lamellar bodies

Steffen Klein et al.

Summary: Lamellar bodies (LBs) are organelles in alveolar cells that play a crucial role in gas exchange. Studies have shown that LBs are composed mainly of membrane sheets attached to the limiting membrane, and a previously unknown outer membrane dome protein complex has been identified.

Programmed Flagellar Ejection in Caulobacter crescentus Leaves PL-subcomplexes

Mohammed Kaplan et al.

Summary: The bacterial flagellum may be lost through two different processes in the lifecycle, programmed ejection and starvation-induced loss. The similarity between relic flagellar subcomplexes from Caulobacter crescentus and those produced in the starvation-induced process suggests a common evolutionary path.

Loss of the Bacterial Flagellar Motor Switch Complex upon Cell Lysis

Mohammed Kaplan et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the bacterial flagellar motor loses its cytoplasmic switch complex upon cell lysis, while the rest of the flagellum remains attached to the cell body in diverse bacterial species. This suggests a relatively loose association between the switch complex and the rest of the flagellar machinery, which is crucial for understanding the evolutionary mechanisms of the motor and for mimicking such nanomachines in the laboratory.
