The Gram-negative envelope is a complex structure that consists of the inner membrane, the
periplasm, peptidoglycan and the outer membrane, and protects the bacterial cell from the …

Perhaps the biggest single task facing a bacterial cell is to divide into daughter cells that
contain the normal complement of chromosomes. Recent technical and conceptual …

Acinetobacter baumannii forms biofilms on abiotic surfaces, a phenotype that may explain its
ability to survive in nosocomial environments and to cause device-related infections in …

The Cpx two-component signal transduction pathway of Escherichia coli mediates
adaptation to envelope protein misfolding. However, there is experimental evidence that at …

Carbapenems are last-resort antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. The widespread
acquisition of metallo-β-lactamases, such as VIM-2, contributes to the emergence of …

In Escherichia coli, the two-component Cpx system comprising the CpxA sensor kinase and
the CpxR response regulator modulates gene expression in response to a variety of …

▪ Abstract Formation of the bacterial division septum is catalyzed by a number of essential
proteins that assemble into a ring structure at the future division site. Assembly of proteins …

ABSTRACT In Escherichia coli, the CpxRA two-component signal transduction system
senses and responds to aggregated and misfolded proteins in the bacterial envelope. We …

The envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is an essential compartment that constitutes a
protective and permeability barrier between the cell and its environment. The envelope also …

We discuss in this review the regulation of synthesis and action of FtsZ, its structure in
relation to tubulin and microtubules, and the mechanism of polymerization and disassembly …
