Proud to share my latest publication! 🧬 We uncovered how Streptococcus dysgalactiae protects itself from a competence-induced murein hydrolase, ScrM, via a Fem-transferase-like immunity factor 🦠🔐https://t.co/lfs6qLqW4e
Our paper on Characterization of VldE (Spr1875), a Pneumococcal Two-State l,d-Endopeptidase with a Four-Zinc Cluster in the Active Site is available. Great collaborative work with @DanStreamer, @GrangeasseTeam and Mobashery lab @NotreDame. Hope you enjoy https://t.co/a0XxL8FDze
We found that pneumococci struggle to develop resistance to the cyclic lipopeptide viscosin. Exploring less toxic derivatives may unveil promising new antimicrobials. @Morten3891@biocath https://t.co/N3ng701Ufl
Check out our new publication in @BiofilmJournal on bacteriocin-based prevention of biofilm formation on materials used in medical devices https://t.co/jDlTsQWpnU
@MaritaMarli has studied competence in Strep dysgalactiae strains from bovines and humans - and found a method to make mutants using natural transformation! @DanStreamer@DPorcellato @UniNMBU Great collaboration with Oddvar Oppegaard @medofak_uib.

Already available our review on the regulation of lytic machineries by FtsEX in bacterial division. In recent years, amazing structural information has been provided on this, nearly conserved, bacterial system. Hope you enjoy https://t.co/WrfzTnuH9Z
🔔Job alert! 🔔
We are looking for a postdoc/researcher interested in characterizing enzymes at the interface of microbial denitrification and lignocellulose degradation🔬
Come join our #ERCfunded team!

Finally online: @DennisWicke's paper on a strongly conserved bacterial protein that interacts with RNase P and modulates its activity in Bacillus subtilis!

Our latest work on cell division is out. FtsEX:RipC in M. tuberculosis presents unique features compared with G(-) as a surprising inclined arrangement. A nice joint effort with Luo Min and Chris Sham Labs at @NUSingapore against this nefarious pathogen. https://t.co/QHmlHJ6z1k
Genome-wide CRISPRi screens reveal the essentialome and determinants for susceptibility to dalbavancin in Staphylococcus aureus https://t.co/u75cNIw6m1
Site-2-proteases trigger signaling cascades in response to external stimuli – as we learn more about them in different bacteria, they are emerging as #virulence regulators and targets for therapeutics. Read the review by Kristensen et al @Morten3891 📑

Missed this one from December but lovely looking structure. Passing resemblance to S.pneumoniae PcsB anyone?
