Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the leading cause of death due to infection, has a dynamic and
immunomodulatory cell envelope. The cell envelope structurally and functionally varies …

The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall is an extra-cytoplasmic glycopeptide polymeric structure
that protects bacteria from osmotic lysis and determines cellular shape. Since the cell wall …

The genus Mycobacterium contains several slow-growing human pathogens, including
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, and Mycobacterium avium …

Rod-shaped mycobacteria expand from their poles, yet d-amino acid probes label cell wall
peptidoglycan in this genus at both the poles and sidewall. We sought to clarify the …

Lateral partitioning of proteins and lipids shapes membrane function. In model membranes,
partitioning can be influenced both by bilayer-intrinsic factors like molecular composition …

The formation of lateral microdomains is emerging as a central organizing principle in
bacterial membranes. These microdomains are targets of antibiotic development and have …

Many antibiotics target the assembly of cell wall peptidoglycan, an essential,
heteropolymeric mesh that encases most bacteria. In rod-shaped bacteria, cell wall …

Actinobacteria is a group of diverse bacteria. Most species in this class of bacteria are
filamentous aerobes found in soil, including the genus Streptomyces perhaps best known for …

lipids in the mycobacterial plasma membrane Chelsea M. Brown1, Robin A. Corey2, Ya …

Introduction Mycobacteria assemble a complex cell wall with cross-linked peptidoglycan
(PG) which plays an essential role in maintenance of cell wall integrity and tolerance to …
