Structural basis of PcsB-mediated cell separation in Streptococcus pneumoniae

The peptidoglycan hydrolase PcsB is required for cell wall splitting during cell division in Streptococci. Bartual et al.show that PcsB adopts an autoinhibited dimeric structure, and demonstrate the muralytic activity of the uninhibited catalytic domain.

Seismic full-waveform tomography of active cratonic thinning beneath North America consistent with slab-induced dripping

Drip-like features imaged in a seismic tomography model are consistent with extensive ongoing thinning of cratonic lithosphere beneath North America.

Structure of the essential peptidoglycan amidotransferase MurT/GatD complex from Streptococcus pneumoniae

The amidotransferase MurT/GatD complex catalyzes peptidoglycan precursor amidation in some Gram-positive bacteria. Here the authors present the crystal structure of the Streptococcus pneumoniae MurT/GatD complex and provide mechanistic insights, which are of interest for drug development.

Klebsiella pneumoniae peptide hijacks a Streptococcus pneumoniae permease to subvert pneumococcal growth and colonization

A Klebsiella pneumoniae peptide enters Streptococcus pneumoniae via its AmiA-AliA/AliB permease reducing pneumococcal growth, adherence to primary human airway epithelial cells, colonization of rat nasopharynx and genetic transformation.
