Antibiotics and other agents that perturb the synthesis or integrity of the bacterial cell
envelope trigger compensatory stress responses. Focusing on Bacillus subtilis as a model …

Oxygenic photosynthesis evolved billions of years ago, becoming Earth's main source of
biologically available carbon and atmospheric oxygen. Since then, phototrophic organisms …

Membrane remodeling and repair are essential for all cells. Proteins that perform these
functions include Vipp1/IM30 in photosynthetic plastids, PspA in bacteria, and ESCRT-III in …

How thylakoid membranes are generated to form a metabolically active membrane network
and how thylakoid membranes orchestrate the insertion and localization of protein …

PspA is the main effector of the phage shock protein (Psp) system and preserves the
bacterial inner membrane integrity and function. Here, we present the 3.6 Å resolution …

Vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (Vipp1) is critical for thylakoid membrane biogenesis
and maintenance. Although Vipp1 has recently been identified as a member of the …

Eukaryotic members of the endosome sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III)
family have been shown to form diverse higher-order assemblies. The bacterial phage …

Vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (VIPP1) is essential for the biogenesis and
maintenance of thylakoid membranes, which transform light into life. However, it is unknown …

The ESCRT-III-like protein Vipp1 couples filament polymerization with membrane
remodeling. It assembles planar sheets as well as 3D rings and helical polymers, all …

Intracellular compartmentalization is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells. Dynamic membrane
remodeling, involving membrane fission/fusion events, clearly is crucial for cell viability and …
