Staphylococcus aureus responds to the host environment by synthesizing a thick peptidoglycan cell wall. What proteins are required for this response? Research in #AACJournal suggests the penicillin-binding protein PBP4 plays a crucial role. Learn more: https://t.co/x6wOzhqEWY

@felixrl_ took on a ~50-yr-old mystery in #Staph aureus cell biology and came out on top! Check out his paper on how #Staphylococcus aureus chooses its cell division plane, how it forms clusters, and why all this matters during infection...

*DNA supercoiling enhances DNA condensation by ParB proteins*

https://t.co/ZDJIxvbE1V

Together with @Aless322 (and @Gruber_Lausanne ) we show the interaction between partition complex proteins (ParB) and supercoiled DNA!
