Staphylococcus aureus binds to the N-terminal region of corneodesmosin to adhere to the stratum corneum in atopic dermatitis

Aisling M. Towell et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus interacts with the host protein corneodesmosin on atopic dermatitis corneocytes, taking advantage of the aberrant display of corneodesmosin caused by low natural moisturizing factor levels. The bacterial proteins FnBPB and ClfB bind to the N-terminal region of corneodesmosin, facilitating strong adherence of S. aureus to atopic dermatitis corneocytes.

Staphylococcus aureus vWF-binding protein triggers a strong interaction between clumping factor A and host vWF

Albertus Viljoen et al.

Summary: Through force spectroscopy studies on living bacteria, Viljoen et al. characterise the binding of S. aureus to host von Willebrand factor (vWF). They propose that S. aureus vWF-binding protein triggers an ultra-strong interaction between the adhesin clumping factor A and vWF.

Glycan-Dependent Corneocyte Adherence of Staphylococcus epidermidis Mediated by the Lectin Subdomain of Aap

Paroma Roy et al.

Summary: The adherence of S. epidermidis to corneocytes is dependent on the accumulation-associated protein Aap, which interacts through the A and B domains. Adherence to corneocytes relies on the lectin subdomain within the A domain, with the A repeat domain playing a key role in Aap stability.

Force spectroscopy of single cells using atomic force microscopy

Albertus Viljoen et al.

Summary: Physical forces and mechanical properties play crucial roles in cellular function, physiology, and disease, with atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques contributing significantly to our understanding in this area. This Primer provides a comprehensive overview of using AFM-based force spectroscopy (AFM-FS) to study cell adhesion strength and dynamics, map cell surface receptors, and quantify cellular mechanical and adhesive properties, with a focus on recent successful applications in cellular and molecular biology.
