Conjugative plasmids are a class of mobile genetic elements capable of efficient transfer between bacterial cells. Although they can introduce beneficial traits such as antibiotic resistance to recipi...

RNA helicases are central architects of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) organization, coupling nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis to RNA binding to unwind dup…

Accurate division site placement is essential for bacteria to produce viable daughter cells. In the ovoid-shaped Streptococcus pneumoniae, previous work showed that division site placement depends on ...

Nature Microbiology - S protein interacts with and activates PBP1a during cell division, as part of a larger GpsB-associated multiprotein complex that coordinates peptidoglycan remodelling in...

The communication hinge, found in type IV ABC transporters, forms a bidirectional communication between ATP- and substrate-binding sites. This is an unexplored allosteric pathway critical for function...

Le slogan « Les antibiotiques, c’est pas automatique » a marqué des générations de Français. Mais savons-nous expliquer pourquoi ? En écho aux actions proposées par le CNRS dans le cadre de la Fête de...

pOXA-48 plasmids have emerged as key vectors of carbapenem resistance within Enterobacteriaceae. In this study, the authors use a transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) approach to identify genetic determinan...

ABC transporters are mobile and adaptative molecular machines. Here, Gobet et al characterize how substrate-binding influences the ABC transporter BmrA and triggers cooperativity in ATP-binding, utili...

Comprendre comment les bactéries modulent leur croissance face à des changements environnementaux est essentiel pour développer de nouvelles stratégies de lutte contre les infections. Dans notre labo...
