  • Previous studies of Teneurins identified an uncharacterized family of Teneurin-like proteins in bacteria. Here, the authors show these proteins are widespread across both Gram groups but limited to certain species, where they form barrel-like structures that encapsulate a toxin and are co-expressed with potent immunity genes.

  • FLRT proteins are known to interact with Lphns and Unc5s, mediating cell adhesion and repulsion respectively. Here the authors use crystallography, native mass spectrometry, molecular dynamics simulations and cell-based assays to show that these three proteins form large super-complexes with functions distinct from their smaller subcomplexes.

  • In Escherichia coli, outer membrane protein (OMP) cluster and form islands, but the origin and behaviour of those clusters remains poorly understood. Here authors use coarse grained molecular dynamics simulation and show that their mesoscale simulations recapitulate the restricted diffusion characteristics of OMPs.

  • NMR structure calculations combined with molecular dynamics simulations suggest a conserved pre-structuration into coiled-coil dimers of the plant protein remorin before associating to the membrane.

  • Fluorescent labelling is used to show that in E. coli, outer membrane protein (OMP) turnover is passive and binary in nature, and OMPs cluster to form islands in which diffusion of individual proteins is restricted owing to lateral interactions with other OMPs; new OMPs are inserted mostly at mid-cell, meaning that old OMP islands are displaced to the poles of growing cells.
