Why and how bacteria localize proteins.
Despite their small size, bacteria have a remarkably intricate internal organization. Bacteria deploy proteins and protein complexes to particular locations and do so in a dynamic manner in lockstep with the organized deployment of their chromosome. The dynamic subcellular localization of protein complexes is an integral feature of regulatory processes of bacterial cells.
متن کاملExploiting amyloid: how and why bacteria use cross-β fibrils.
Many bacteria produce protein fibrils that are structurally analogous to those associated with protein misfolding diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. However, unlike fibrils associated with disease, bacterial amyloids have beneficial functions including conferring stability to biofilms, regulating development or imparting virulence. In the present review, we consider what makes amyloid fibril...
متن کاملWhy do bacteria divide?
The problem of not only how but also why cells divide can be tackled using recent ideas. One idea from the origins of life - Life as independent of its constituents - is that a living entity like a cell is a particular pattern of connectivity between its constituents. This means that if the growing cell were just to get bigger the average connectivity between its constituents per unit mass - it...
متن کاملHow Bacteria Handle Copper
Copper in biological systems presents a formidable problem: it is essential for life, yet highly reactive and a potential source of cell damage. Tight control of copper is thus a cellular necessity. To meet this challenge, cells have evolved pumps for transmembranous transport, chaperones for intracellular routing, oxidases and reductases to change the oxidation state of copper, and regulators ...
متن کاملHow bacteria choose phosphate.
Discriminating against arsenate: Determination of the structure of periplasmic phosphate binding proteins at very high resolution provides the basis for understanding the high discrimination of bacteria against arsenate. The results complete our insight into earlier erroneous conclusions on the ability of certain bacteria to use arsenate instead of phosphate.
