Excited to see our story published in @natmicrobiol.nature.com today! It’s been a long journey. We answered a major outstanding question: why does E. coli encode two aPBPs, yet only one plays a critical role in ensuring reliable PG fortification during cell division?

Super interesting finding: polar growth and dispersed growth are not mutually exclusive! Congrats to the authors 👌

Great to see this out in @pnas.org. A great effort led by Petr Pelch and Christoph Allolio at @charlesuni.cuni.cz who developed a new morphoelastic model for PG biogenesis and cell division.

It has been coming a long way... happy to share our latest work with you: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here, we show the importance of septal fortification by the Class A Penicillin Binding Protein, PBP1b, in E. coli and provide a molecular mechanism for this function. (1/12).

biorxiv.org

The aPBP-type cell wall synthase PBP1b plays a specialized role in fortifying the Escherichia coli division site against osmotic rupture

A multi-protein system called the divisome promotes bacterial division. This apparatus synthesizes the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall layer that forms the daughter cell poles and protects them from osmo...
