A Second Role for the Second Messenger Cyclic-di-GMP in E. coli: Arresting Cell Growth by Altering Metabolic Flow

YuneSahng Hwang et al.

Summary: c-di-GMP primarily controls motile to sessile transitions in bacteria through multiple mechanisms, including the regulation of DGC activity by binding to autoinhibitory sites. YfiN, a DGC in E. coli, not only inhibits motility and promotes biofilms, but also arrests growth by changing metabolic flow. This finding suggests a potential role for YfiN or DGCs without autoinhibitory I-sites in antibiotic tolerant persisters.

A contractile injection system is required for developmentally regulated cell death in Streptomyces coelicolor

Maria Vladimirov et al.

Summary: Research shows that extracellular contractile injection systems (eCISs) play an important role in the developmental process of bacteria, rather than just functioning as cytotoxic defense mechanisms.

Cytoplasmic contractile injection systems mediate cell death in Streptomyces

Bastien Casu et al.

Summary: Characterization of a contractile injection system (CIS) in Streptomyces coelicolor reveals its role in mediating cell death and impacting cellular development in response to stress. This study provides insights into the functional roles of CIS in Gram-positive organisms and offers a framework for studying intracellular processes in multicellular bacteria.

The evolutionary success of regulated cell death in bacterial immunity

Francois Rousset et al.

Summary: Bacteria use complex immune mechanisms to defend against phages, often involving regulated cell death to prevent phage spread. Over 70% of sequenced prokaryotes employ this strategy, which has also influenced the evolution of eukaryotic immunity.

A noncanonical cytochrome c stimulates calcium binding by PilY1 for type IVa pili formation

Marco Herfurth et al.

Summary: The study reveals the formation of complexes between minor pilins and PilY1.1, contingent on calcium and a non-canonical cytochrome c, in Myxococcus xanthus. This discovery highlights the importance of these complexes in stabilizing PilY1.1 and enabling T4aP function in a broader range of calcium concentrations.

CRP-Like Transcriptional Regulator MrpC Curbs c-di-GMP and 3 ',3 '-cGAMP Nucleotide Levels during Development in Myxococcus xanthus

Sofya Kuzmich et al.

Summary: The second messenger c-di-GMP plays an important role in both stages of Myxococcus xanthus' nutrient-regulated biphasic life cycle, with the formation of predatory swarms in the presence of nutrients and spore-filled fruiting bodies in the absence of nutrients. However, different enzymes are involved in c-di-GMP synthesis and degradation during distinct life cycle stages.

Toxin-Antitoxin Systems as Phage Defense Elements

Michele LeRoux et al.

Summary: Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous genetic elements in bacteria that help defend against phage infections. The biological functions of TA systems are still unclear, but they are widespread and rapidly acquired or lost in bacterial genomes. This review discusses the evidence for phage defense mediated by TA systems and the coevolutionary battle between bacteria and phage.

Three PilZ Domain Proteins, PlpA, PixA, and PixB, Have Distinct Functions in Regulation of Motility and Development in Myxococcus xanthus

Sofya Kuzmich et al.

Summary: The study identified two PilZ domain-containing proteins in Myxococcus xanthus that bind c-di-GMP, regulating bacterial motility and development. PixB acts in a Frz-dependent manner to regulate motility and development via the acetyltransferase domain, while PixA acts in a Frz-independent manner to regulate motility.

Bacterial cyclic diguanylate signaling networks sense temperature

Henrik Almblad et al.

Summary: The study identifies an enzyme, TdcA, that modulates temperature-dependent motility, biofilm development, and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by synthesizing c-di-GMP with catalytic rates increasing more than a hundred-fold over a ten-degree Celsius change. This thermosensitive catalysis constitutes a conserved mechanism for thermal sensing in bacteria.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.
