Bacterial cell wall composition and the influence of antibiotics by cell-wall and whole-cell NMR.
The ability to characterize bacterial cell-wall composition and structure is crucial to understanding the function of the bacterial cell wall, determining drug modes of action and developing new-generation therapeutics. Solid-state NMR has emerged as a powerful tool to quantify chemical composition and to map cell-wall architecture in bacteria and plants, even in the context of unperturbed inta...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Wall-induced Immunosuppression
Asingle intraperitoneal injection of bacterial cell walls derived from groupA streptococci (SCW)' into susceptible rats results in the development of acute and chronic erosive polyarthritis (1, 2) . The pathology of the lesion leading to joint destruction has been shown to be aT cell-dependent, cell-mediated response to the deposition of the group A streptococcal peptidoglycan-polysaccharide po...
متن کاملNanoimaging of RNA Molecules with Atomic Force Microscopy
Since the introduction of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in 1986, this technology has been widely used for imaging of DNA molecules. More recently, scientists have become increasingly interested in the use of this technique for imaging of RNA molecules as well. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to establish effective sample preparation procedures for reproducibly obtaining images of R...
متن کاملStudying Biomolecule Localization by Engineering Bacterial Cell Wall Curvature
In this article we describe two techniques for exploring the relationship between bacterial cell shape and the intracellular organization of proteins. First, we created microchannels in a layer of agarose to reshape live bacterial cells and predictably control their mean cell wall curvature, and quantified the influence of curvature on the localization and distribution of proteins in vivo. Seco...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Wall: Thinking Globally, Actin Locally
The bacterial actin-like protein MreB is thought to form a continuous helical polymer at the membrane to confer rod shape. Two new studies now show that MreB forms discrete dynamic patches that travel circumferentially.
