OXA β-lactamases from Acinetobacter spp. are membrane bound and secreted into outer membrane vesicles

Matteo Dal Peraro, Fernando Augusto Teixeira Pinto Meireles

β-lactamases from Gram-negative bacteria are generally regarded as soluble, periplasmic enzymes. NDMs have been exceptionally characterized as lipoproteins anchored to the outer membrane. A bioinformatics study on all sequenced beta-lactamases was performe ...

Correlative light and volume electron microscopy to study brain development

Graham Knott

Recent advances in volume electron microscopy (EM) have been driving our thorough understanding of the brain architecture. Volume EM becomes increasingly powerful when cells and their subcellular structures that are imaged in light microscopy are correlate ...

BET1 variants establish impaired vesicular transport as a cause for muscular dystrophy with epilepsy

Matteo Dal Peraro

BET1 is required, together with its SNARE complex partners GOSR2, SEC22b, and Syntaxin-5 for fusion of endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles with the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) and the cis-Golgi. Here, we report three individuals, from two ...

Overlapping transport and chaperone-binding functions within a bacterial twin-arginine signal peptide

Julien Maillard

The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway is a protein targeting system present in many prokaryotes. The physiological role of the Tat pathway is the transmembrane translocation of fully-folded proteins, which are targeted by N-terminal signal peptides ...
