Sequestered Chloroplasts In The Benthic Foraminifer Haynesina Germanica: Cellular Organization, Oxygen Fluxes And Potential Ecological Implications

Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Haynesina germanica is a coastal benthic foraminifer known to sequester chloroplasts from benthic pennate diatoms. This study investigates its cellular organization, as well as the oxygen consumption and production rates under dark and light conditions. Th ...

Rv3852 (H-NS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Not Involved in Nucleoid Compaction and Virulence Regulation

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Anthony Vocat, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Andréanne Lupien, Nina Theres Odermatt

A handful of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) regulate the vast majority of genes in a bacterial cell. H-NS, the histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein, is one of these NAPs and protects Escherichia coli from foreign gene expression. Though lacking a ...

Division site selection linked to inherited cell surface wave troughs in mycobacteria

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Haig Alexander Eskandarian, Mélanie Thérèse Marie Hannebelle, Joëlle Xiao Yuan Ven

Cell division is tightly controlled in space and time to maintain cell size and ploidy within narrow bounds. In bacteria, the canonical Minicell (Min) and nucleoid occlusion (Noc) systems together ensure that division is restricted to midcell after complet ...

An Amidase_3 domain-containing N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase is required for mycobacterial cell division

Neeraj Dhar, Ashima Bhaskar, Dong Li

Mycobacteria possess a multi-layered cell wall that requires extensive remodelling during cell division. We investigated the role of an amidase_3 domain-containing N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, a peptidoglycan remodelling enzyme implicated in cell div ...

A benzamide-dependent ftsZ mutant reveals residues crucial for Z-ring assembly

David William Adams

In almost all bacteria, cell division is co-ordinated by the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ and represents an attractive but as yet unexploited target for new antibiotics. The benzamides, e.g. PC190723, are potent FtsZ inhibitors that have the potential ...

SAS-6 engineering reveals interdependence between cartwheel and microtubules in determining centriole architecture

Pierre Gönczy, Virginie Hamel, Paul Guichard

Centrioles are critical for the formation of centrosomes, cilia and flagella in eukaryotes. They are thought to assemble around a nine-fold symmetric cartwheel structure established by SAS-6 proteins. Here, we have engineered Chlamydomonas reinhardtii SAS- ...

Centriolar CPAP/SAS-4 Imparts Slow Processive Microtubule Growth

Pierre Gönczy, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Nicola Jane Dynes, Ashwani Sharma

Centrioles are fundamental and evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based organelles whose assembly is characterized by microtubule growth rates that are orders of magnitude slower than those of cytoplasmic microtubules. Several centriolar proteins can int ...

Pombe's thirteen - control of fission yeast cell division by the septation initiation network

Viesturs Simanis

The septation initiation network (SIN) regulates aspects of cell growth and division in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is essential for cytokinesis. Insufficient signalling results in improper assembly of the contractile ring and failure of cytokinesis, gen ...

Correction of a Depth-Dependent Lateral Distortion in 3D Super-Resolution Imaging

Suliana Manley, Kyle Michael Douglass, Seamus John Holden, Lina Carlini

Three-dimensional (3D) localization-based super-resolution microscopy (SR) requires correction of aberrations to accurately represent 3D structure. Here we show how a depth-dependent lateral shift in the apparent position of a fluorescent point source, whi ...

High throughput 3D super-resolution microscopy reveals Caulobacter crescentus in vivo Z-ring organization

Suliana Manley, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Seamus John Holden, Thomas Pengo

We created a high-throughput modality of photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) that enables automated 3D PALM imaging of hundreds of synchronized bacteria during all stages of the cell cycle. We used high-throughput PALM to investigate the nanoscal ...
