Bacterial second messengers are important for regulating diverse bacterial lifestyles. Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is produced by diguanylate cyclase enzymes, named GGDEF proteins, which are widespread across bacteria. Recently, hybrid promiscuous (Hypr...

Asymmetric peptidoglycan editing generates cell curvature in Bdellovibrio predatory bacteria (2022)
Journal Article
Banks, E. J., Valdivia-Delgado, M., Biboy, J., Wilson, A., Cadby, I. T., Vollmer, W., …Sockett, R. E. (2022). Asymmetric peptidoglycan editing generates cell curvature in Bdellovibrio predatory bacteria. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 1509. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-29007-y

Peptidoglycan hydrolases contribute to the generation of helical cell shape in Campylobacter and Helicobacter bacteria, while cytoskeletal or periskeletal proteins determine the curved, vibrioid cell shape of Caulobacter and Vibrio. Here, we identify... Read More about Asymmetric peptidoglycan editing generates cell curvature in Bdellovibrio predatory bacteria.
